e.Max Cementation and Care
Posted on 09/16/2011
Cementation and care of the all ceramic restoration is a bit different than a PFM, and differs depending on the actual material. Zirconia differs from e.Max which further differs from IPS Empress.
We will discuss the cementation of IPS e.Max today.
IPS e.Max crowns or bridges can be cemented adhesively (using Variolink II by Ivoclar), self-adhesively (using Multi-Link by Ivoclar) or conventionally (using Vivaglass by Ivoclar, GC Fuji by GC America, Panavia F by Kuraray, or C&B Metabond or other popular cements). For greatest strength, it is recommended to use adhesive bonding or another similar dual cure material such as Nexus by Kerr or Lute-It by Pentron.
IPS e.Max inlay, onlays and veneers must be adhesively cemented and recommended cements include Variolink II for the total etch technique or Multi Link for the self etch technique - both by Ivoclar.
More information and guides to cementation and care for e.Max are available here:
