## Indications for Use

IPS e.max CAD is a CAD/CAM machinable glass ceramic based on lithium disilicate for the preparation of full ceramic crowns, inlays, and full ceramic 3-unit anterior bridges. IPS e.max ZirCAD consists of machinable zirconia blocks for the preparation of full ceramic crowns, onlays and 3- and 4-unit bridges and inlay bridges (anterior and molar.)

## Device Story

IPS e.max CAD and IPS e.max ZirCAD are dental ceramic materials used for CAD/CAM fabrication of restorations. IPS e.max CAD is a lithium disilicate glass ceramic; IPS e.max ZirCAD is a zirconia-based ceramic. Materials are supplied as machinable blocks. Dental professionals use CAD/CAM systems to mill these blocks into specific dental prosthetics (crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges). Final restorations are placed in the patient's mouth to restore tooth structure and function. Benefits include high-strength, aesthetic, full-ceramic dental reconstructions.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

IPS e.max CAD: Lithium disilicate glass ceramic. IPS e.max ZirCAD: Zirconia (zirconium dioxide) ceramic. Form factor: Machinable blocks for CAD/CAM systems. Intended for dental restoration fabrication.

## Regulatory Identification

Porcelain powder for clinical use is a device consisting of a mixture of kaolin, felspar, quartz, or other substances intended for use in the production of artificial teeth in fixed or removable dentures, of jacket crowns, facings, and veneers. The device is used in prosthetic dentistry by heating the powder mixture to a high temperature in an oven to produce a hard prosthesis with a glass-like finish.
