IPS
Empress® – the Original
Nearly 20 years ago, IPS Empress revolutionized the processing of ceramic and thanks to its many advantages, such as aesthetics, IPS Empress has been established as the “benchmark”. More then 33 million restorations fabricated of IPS Empress throughout the world and the use of “IPS Empress” as a synonym for all-ceramics speak for the durable life-like appearance, the ongoing success, and the high quality standard of the material.
In addition to the tried-and-tested PRESS technology, the CAD/CAM technology has also developed in the area of all-ceramics. In order to supply the “benchmark” for this technology as well, the future IPS Empress System will comprise products for both processing technologies. You will be able to benefit from roughly 20 years of clinical experience and convincing aesthetics, irrespective of whether the restorations were fabricated with the PRESS or CAD/CAM technique.
IPS Empress Esthetic is available for the PRESS technology, while IPS Empress CAD is used in the CAD/CAM technology. Both products consist of the highly aesthetic, leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic that has been clinically tried-and-tested for many years. The two ceramics are characterized by excellent strength values and outstanding aesthetic appearance. They may thus be used for the fabrication of fully anatomic singleunit restorations, such as inlays, onlays, veneers, and crowns.
Both products may subsequently be stained and/or glazed using IPS Empress Universal Shades/Stains, or individually veneered using the IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer layering ceramic.
In this way, the IPS Empress System will remain synonymous for highly aesthetic, fully anatomical all-ceramic restorations, irrespective of the processing technology.

Empress Esthetic –
Product Information
Material
IPS Empress Esthetic is used for the fabrication of highly aesthetic single-tooth restorations by means of the PRESS technique.
IPS Empress Esthetic ingots are made of a leucite-reinforced glassceramic which consists of a glass and a crystal phase. Leucite crystals of a few microns evenly grow in a multi-stage process directly from the amorphous glass phase. During the fabrication of the ingots, the semi-finished product in powder form is pressed to ingots in a fully automated process, which enables a maximum of homogeneity. Given the difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) between the glass phase and the crystal phase (leucite), cooling after sintering produces compressive stress in the glass phase. This mechanism results in an increase in strength and enables IPS Empress Esthetic to achieve a flexural strength of 160 MPa.
This type of material has been successful as well as proven for almost 20 years. The pressed restorations feature excellent accuracy of fit and a homogeneous surface. Subsequently, the restorations may be stained using IPS Empress Universal Stains and/or individually veneered using IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer.

Ingot concept
IPS Empress Esthetic ingots are available in 12 shades and 7 levels of translucency to fulfil even the most discerning requirements.
Non-shaded ingots are supplied in 5 levels of opacity: E T1, E T2, E O1, E O2 and E O3. The IPS Empress Esthetic TC ingots are slightly shaded to reduce the need for characterization. In addition, 3 further shades are available, which are ideal for the veneering technique. The E TC0, E O1 and E O3 ingots can be used for cases in which a bright shade effect is desired, e.g. with a very bright tooth shade or after bleaching.
E T1: Inlays and onlays
For older patients with very translucent glassy residual dentition.
E T2: Inlays and onlays
For younger patients with a residual dentition that features a low opacity.
E O1, E OC1: Crowns and veneers
For patients with a residual dentition
that features a medium opacity.
E O2: Crowns and veneers
For patients with a residual dentition
that features a very high opacity.
E O3: Crowns and veneers
For patients with a residual dentition
that features a very high opacity and
for matching bleached teeth.
E TC0 – E TC5: Inlays, onlays,
crowns and veneers
The shades of the IPS Empress Esthetic Translucent Colour ingots are coordinated with the Chromascop shade guide. They can be combined with A- D shades.

IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Wash Pastes
Given the 2 : 1 effect of the wash pastes, i.e. bonding and characterization in one step, highly aesthetic restorations can be fabricated very efficiently.
The Wash Paste neutral produces the direct bond to the reduced restorations and is always applied first on the restoration; it enables a homogeneous bond.
Delivery form:
– 1x 1 g IPS Empress Esthetic Wash Paste neutral
Subsequently, the reduced restorations are individually characterized using the 5 Standard Wash Pastes. Ideal shade gradations permit individualized characterizations of the highest order.
Delivery form:
–5x 1 g IPS Empress Esthetic Wash Paste;
Shades: low value, high value, MM light-salmon, MM yellow-orange, MM reddish-orange
The 5 standard wash pastes may then be individually shaded using the 5 Wash-Paste Modifiers or the neutral paste.
Delivery form:
–5x 1 g IPS Empress Esthetic Wash Paste;
Shades: Modifier copper, Modifier orange, Modifier sky blue, Modifier basic yellow, Modifier basic red

IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Incisal Opal
These opalescent materials are available in three different gradations (low, medium, and high translucency). They feature an incisal-like fluorescence and true-to-nature opalescence. The high stability and excellent modelling properties permit detailed layering of life-like incisal edges. The opalescent effect demonstrates high firing stability and is thus clearly visible even after several firing cycles.
Delivery form:
–3x 20 g IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Incisal Opal;
Shades: low translucent, medium translucent, high translucent
IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Incisal
These Incisal materials are available in 6 shade nuances and are used for additional characterizations in the incisal area.
Delivery form:
–6x 20 g IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Incisal;
Shades: white, grey, orange, edge, yellow, orange-pink
IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Transpa
The Transparent materials in 2 shade nuances are used for the true- to-nature reproduction of transparent areas, particularly in the incisal third.
Delivery form:
–2x 20 g IPS Esthetic Veneer Transpa; Shades: blue, neutral
IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Chroma Modifier
These materials support the shade intensity of the reduced restoration and are available in shades 110/A1 and 210/A3.

Delivery form:
– 1x 20 g IPS Empress Add-On 770°C/1418°F
IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Build-Up Liquid
The Build-Up Liquid is used to mix the IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer materials and the IPS Empress Add-On corrective material. Since build-up liquids contain various organic additives that do not fire without leaving residue at the used firing temperatures and thus may cause discolouration, only the IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Build-Up Liquid must be used.
Delivery form:
– 1x 60 ml IPS Empress Esthetic Veneer Build-Up Liquid
IPS Empress Universal Shade
The IPS Empress Universal Shades are available in 9 A–D and
15 Chromascop shades. They are used for the exact reproduction of the A-D and Chromascop shades.

Shades: white, mahogany, khaki, orange, grey, vanilla, crackliner, olive, yellow, black, maroon, basic red, basic blue, basic yellow
IPS Empress Universal Glaze Paste
IPS Empress Universal Glaze Paste is used to apply the final glaze to IPS Empress restorations. The glazing paste demonstrates a smooth, fine-grained consistency and thus permits easy and quick application of the glazing material layer.
Delivery form:
– 1x 3 g IPS Empress Universal Glaze Paste
IPS Empress Universal Glaze and Stain Liquid
The IPS Empress Universal Glaze and Stain Liquid is used to adjust the consistency of all materials in paste form (Wash pastes, Shades, Stains, and Glaze). No other liquid may be used for this purpose, since those liquids contain various organic additives that do not fire without leaving residue at the defined firing temperatures, which may result in discolouration.
Delivery form:
– 1x 15 ml IPS Empress Universal Glaze and Stain Liquid
