That translates to the best of both worlds crown: it’s strong and looks great. The structural integrity of the crowns and bridges made from IPS e.max has been proven to be the strongest dental prosthodontic to date by a team of researchers at NYU.

It is made from lithium disilicate crystals. This monolithic lithium-disilicate porcelain can be used for full-contour restoration or thinned down with a porcelain layer applied.
