IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Connect
IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Connect is a specially
developed fusion glass-ceramic which is used to
create a homogeneous bond between the IPS e.
max ZirCAD framework and the IPS e.max CAD
veneering structure during the IPS e.max CAD-on
Fusion/Crystallization firing.
The shades of the fusion glass-ceramic are adjusted
in such a way that the IPS e.max ZirCAD shades
MO 0 to MO 4 combined with the IPS e.max CAD
shades correspond to the shades of the IPS e.max
shade concept. By combining the brighter
IPS e.max ZirCAD framework with the translucent
IPS e.max CAD HT veneering structure and the
harmonizing IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Connect
material, restorations can be fabricated which
exhibit outstanding esthetic properties.
IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Connect is a pre-dosed,
ready-to-use powder/liquid system available in
single doses and nine shades.
The precisely adjusted powder/liquid mixture of
IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Connect turns liquid when
vibrated (with the Ivomix). This allows the material
to be mixed and the components to be joined on
the Ivomix. Without mechanical influence (vibra-
tion) IPS e.max CAD Crystall./Connect turns stable
again, which enables the joined restoration to be
checked in the articulator. This special property is
known as thixotropy.
