In chairside dentistry, every minute counts. Patients expect reliable results – ideally in just a single treatment session. That is what IPS e.max CAD is designed for: efficient workflows that ensure fast, high-quality results.
IPS e.max CAD sets the standard and is the original lithium disilicate glass-ceramic developed for chairside CAD/CAM dentistry. The material properties offer an ideal combination of impressive aesthetics, high flexural strength and long-lasting reliability which allows for fast grinding, time-saving polishing and quick crystallisation – for efficient processes and high-quality results in a single session.
Fast processing, impressive results
Short grinding times
With state-of-the-art CAD/CAM devices, restorations can be ground in just a few minutes (e.g. in only 8:07 minutes when using the CEREC® PrimeMill in Fast mode).
Polishing in the pre-crystallised state
A pre-crystallisation polish with OptraGloss® Extra Oral results in a high-gloss surface without requiring an additional glaze firing. Alternatively, the purple restoration can be wetted with IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Glaze Spray.

Speed crystallisation
In combination with the Programat® CS6, the final crystallisation takes only 11:10 minutes1 – for impressive results in just one session.
Flexible in the workflow
Whether polishing, a combined glaze and crystallisation firing or individual characterisation: IPS e.max CAD offers a range of processing options that can be flexibly integrated into everyday practice, providing the freedom to choose between efficiency and customisation – depending on the clinical case.
