IPS e.max — where aesthetics meet precision. 🦷✨
One of the things that makes IPS e.max so beautiful is its ability to transmit and interact with light much like a natural tooth. But that translucency also means what’s underneath matters.
Take a close look at this crown—you can actually see the model stump showing through the restoration. That same effect happens clinically. The shade of the patient’s natural preparation will influence the final value, warmth, and overall color of the seated crown.
That’s why stump shades are so important, especially in the anterior. Providing the lab with an accurate stump shade allows us to select the proper ingot/material and control the final result rather than guessing what the underlying tooth structure will do to the restoration.
Beautiful e.max starts with great communication.
📸 Prep shade + stump shade + quality photos = a much more predictable final result.
