Various accessories facilitate and support the processing of IPS Empress restorations.
IPS Natural Die Material
The light-curing IPS Natural Die Material simulates the shade of the prepared tooth and thus represents the optimum basis for natural shade reproduction of the given oral situation when fabricating all-ceramic restorations.
IPS Silicone Ring
Silicone rings in three sizes are available for the investment of IPS Empress and IPS e.max restorations. They can be re-used several times and can easily be used under running water.
IPS Sprue Guide
The IPS Sprue Guide helps to check the correct sprueing of the objects to be pressed on the ring base.
IPS Empress Investment Ring System
The IPS Empress Investment Ring System is available in two sizes: 100 g and 200 g. It is composed of a ring gauge and a ring base and is used to sprue the contoured restorations.
IPS Empress Alox Plunger
With the IPS Empress Alox Plunger, the ceramic ingot in its softened state is pressed into the hollow space in the investment ring. Due to its diameter, it is exclusively suitable for the IPS Empress Investment Ring System.
IPS Empress Single-Use Plunger
With the single-use plunger, the IPS Empress Esthetic ingots in their softened state are pressed into the hollow space in the investment ring. The IPS Single-Use Plungers are disposable. They are suitable for both the 100 g and the 200 g Investment Ring System.
IPS Contrast Spray Labside
The IPS Contrast Spray Labside is applied to ensure optimum recordings for CAD/CAM restorations. It balances out the different optical properties of the stone model and thus permits optimum recordings or scans.
The IPS Empress System comprises two investment materials to invest restorations.
IPS Empress Esthetic Speed
PS Empress Esthetic Speed is a specially coordinated investment material consisting of a powder and liquid for the speed heating method. The quick-heating investment material provides high-quality, accurately fitting press results within a short period of time.
IPS PressVEST
IPS PressVEST is a phosphate-bonded investment material for the conventional heating method. It results in accurately fitting press results.
IPS Ceramic Etching Gel
The IPS Ceramic Etching Gel is used for the creation of retentive bonding surfaces on all-ceramic restorations to prepare them for incorporation. It enhances the bonding effect between the luting composite and the ceramic bonding surface.
Monobond Plus
Monobond Plus is a primer mediating an adhesive bond between the luting composite (particularly the Variolink and Multilink product lines) and all indirect restorative materials (glass and oxide ceramics, metals, composites, fibre-reinforced composites),
