All-ceramics: Quality assurance for dentists and patients

Are you a dental technician 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 can now prove this to your dentists and patients and differentiate your services from those of your competitors with very little effort.

What type of material was used?

Certain materials are characterized by their exceptional longevity and reliability, which have been confirmed by numerous scientific studies. Nevertheless, a growing number of all ceramic products on the market is making it increasingly difficult to establish what kind of materials were used to manufacture a restoration. By issuing a patient certificate, in other words, a certificate of authenticity, you have the possibility of assuring your dentists and consequently their patients of the high quality you have provided.

IPS e.max: clinically proven

The IPS e.max materials are clinically proven. They fulfil very high standards with regard to quality, innovation and function. The excellent performance of the all-ceramics has been confirmed by clinical experience gained over a period of 14 years. The materials have been used to produce 120 million restorations worldwide^*. Scientific evidence shows that IPS e.max restorations have a survival rate of 96 per cent.

The clinical performance of hardly any other dental material has been as thoroughly documented as that of IPS e.max. A Scientific Report has now been published containing the study results of the past 16 years.

Patient certificate: clarity for everyone

If you use IPS e.max in your dental laboratory, you can take advantage of the new patient certificate to prove to patients that you have used only authentic materials in their restoration. All you have to do is indicate the relevant details about the materials used and the type of restoration manufactured. This allows the dentist to read up on what kind of material was used to produce the restoration. They will pass the patient certificate on to their patients – a special service that will be appreciated by both parties. This simple yet effective gesture will set you apart from your competitors – a positive and quality enhancing experience for everyone involved.

All dental laboratories that use IPS e.max will receive the mentioned certificates from Ivoclar Vivadent free of charge.
