"I wanted to let you both know what an awesome time I had at your course this past weekend! I was baffled as to how to grasp all these cases over the last several years, that I had either come across or that I had actually completed, without fully understanding the “why.” I have been a symptoms dentist for years. This class was so satisfying and I am excited to continue to learn more!"

eCement
(Bisco)

The use of lithium disilicate (e.Max) has become increasingly more popular the last few years for both anterior and posterior restorations. Confusion, however, still exists in how these restorations should be cemented to provide optimal aesthetics, retention, and fracture resistance. Although most of us may have different bonding agents and cements already in our office that we could use, Bisco has made it very easy to predictably cement these restorations by developing a lithium disilicate cementation kit, named appropriately “eCement”.

IPS
Emax

What are your goals when you place an indirect restorative material? My primary goals when placing an indirect restoration depend on where it is being placed in the mouth and why. In summary, esthetics, bondability, strength and versatility are the most important decision criteria.

Does IPS e.max satisfy your esthetic requirements for a restorative material?
