I.P.S. EMPRESS Crowns

A proven pressable ceramic restoration, IPS Empress offers patient satisfaction with aesthetic, natural looking restorations, through exclusive use of ceramic materials. The utilization of bonded ceramic restorative materials is intended to reestablish function, shape, contour, color (hue, value and chroma), natural light transmission and strength of natural dentition.

Individually colored tooth restorations can be reproduced in exact shape and shade. The result is an individually fabricated restoration with an excellent fit and all the characteristics of a natural tooth. Even when working in limited space, optimum aesthetic results can be obtained.

The Empress system yields excellent crowns, but is especially effective when used for inlays/onlays and veneers. Empress provides one of the strongest all-ceramic restorations available.

The restoration is modeled in wax and cast in a specially formulated investment. The system's furnace then allows the restoration to be pressed in leucite reinforced ceramic porcelain. After removal from the oven, the restoration is finished to the required aesthetic and anatomical specifications, using staining and layering techniques.
