The new software update for the proven Programat CS2 and CS3 glazing and crystallization furnaces allows you to streamline the processing times even further and offers increased user-friendliness. Furnaces that have been delivered since IDS 2019 are already equipped with this software version. Existing customers can download the software free of charge.

Effective immediately, the Programat CS4 furnace will come pre-installed with two new programs for processing the new IPS e.max ZirCAD MT Multi zirconia blocks. Existing users can download the V2.0 software update from the Download Center free of charge to install it on their Programat CS4.

The new zirconium oxide block IPS e.max ZirCAD MT Multi combines strength and lifelike esthetics. The special composition and the material’s natural progression of shade and translucency make the new block particularly attractive and versatile.

How do different types of prophy pastes affect the surface gloss of various ceramic materials? The aim of an Italian-based in vitro study was to answer this question. Proxyt Fine achieved excellent results in this study.

Are you a dentist who does not tolerate any compromises in terms of the esthetics, quality and longevity of your dental restorations? Are you very particular about working only with high-quality, clinically proven materials? If so, you should let your patients know.

In a study by D. Fasbinder (School of Dentistry, University of Michigan) only two all-ceramic crowns had to be replaced in the course of ten years due to fracture. The survival rate of IPS e.max CAD was 93.3 %.

The study by K. A. Malament shows: Of all the glass-ceramics evaluated, IPS e.max CAD / Press performed the best, with a survival rate of 99.75 per cent during an observation period of just over ten years.

Stylish, reliable and clever: that’s Bluephase G4 – the first Bluephase curing light featuring an automated assistance system. For even better results.

The Tetric CAD composite blocks and the IPS e.max ZirCAD zirconium oxide materials have now been released for use with the PlanMill milling units (Planmeca). This provides practitioners with even more opportunities to produce high-quality restorations at chairside. In addition, three new shades have been added to the range of Telio CAD cross-linked PMMA blocks.

More than 10 years of continuous quality tests show: In comparison to other CAD/CAM glass-ceramics, IPS e.max CAD has an unrivalled level of biaxial flexural strength of 530 MPa(a).
