Emax installations

Emax installations | Dental implants are one of the important operations, whether for the cosmetic role of the teeth in showing a human smile or for its important functional role in nutrition. With the increased interest in repairing various dental problems , many dental implants made of veneers , ceramics , zircon  , Emax and others have been invented.

The process of replacing missing teeth, or broken or missing teeth, is one of the operations that have been taking place for thousands of years. The discoveries have shown that the Pharaohs had clinics and dentists, and they were installing dental bridges and missing teeth, using fine wires of gold, and therefore we will In our article from this Istanbul International Beauty Center , we discuss one of the types of materials used in dental restoration and replacement, which are Emax implants.

What are the Emacs?

Emax formulations consist of lithium bisilicate ceramic , which is homogeneous so as to give accuracy and satisfactory aesthetic aspect to patients who suffer from defect or deficiency in their teeth.

IPS e.max formula:

This composition is characterized by:

• It consists of a biocompatible lithium-ceramic glass alloy.
• This type provides the formula, shape and fit of pressed ceramic.
• Provides suitable flexural strength up to 500 MPa.
• With this type of Emax, we can easily shape all parts and dental restorations.

IPS e.max Press Formula:

This composition is characterized by the following:

• In this type of Emax, the lithium bisilicate ceramic is crystallized in the manufacturing stage, to get a bluish-glazed shape.
• This quality gives the doctor the ability to make manual adjustments according to the condition and shape required.
• The crystal treatment process that this type undergoes gives it the ability to reach the required degree of hardness easily and simply

IPS e.max ZerPress formula:

This quality is characterized by the following:

• This type of Emacs combines the features of brice, cam and cad.
• This quality also combines the accuracy of the required form, the strength and durability that must be available in the Emax fittings backed with zirconium.
• Fluorapatite alloys made of glass and ceramics are used in the manufacture of this type of Emax.

The combination of IPS e.max Zero Cad:

• Where this type of Emax is designed in order to withstand pressures and large loads.
• Therefore, it is used in the manufacture of rear bridges, which are subjected to high pressures.

IPS e.max Serum Formula:

• It represents the connecting element between the various components of the entire ceramic system.
• This facilitates the process of designing the required pieces according to the desired aesthetic shape, from glass-ceramic and zirconium.

Uses of Emax installations

We will talk about the uses of Emax in the field of dental prostheses, through the following points:

• Emax of various types is used to cover and replace the front teeth and premolars. While it cannot be used with back teeth.
• Emax cannot be used for the manufacture of bridges, especially rear bridges, because it does not have the necessary strength, so there is a fear that it will break.
• Also, Emax’s high transparency and clarity makes it a suitable option for prosthodontics exclusively for front teeth, as it has the greatest potential to emerge from the back teeth.

Features of Emacs installations

Emax fittings are characterized by:

• Prosthodontics made of Emax are considered for their long life, scientific reliability and distinctive shape, especially for the front teeth.
• Emax fittings are less likely to break or crack, as they do not have any metal parts under the ceramic or porcelain coating.
• Dental implants and prosthodontics made of Emax do not contain any gray line in the gum area due to the presence of metal in the composition, which gives the teeth a completely identical shape to natural teeth.
• Prosthodontics made of Emax are characterized by great transparency, simulating in nature the transparency of natural teeth.
• Emax implants also have the perfect mixture in terms of the crystalline structure of the mixture of natural teeth.
• Prostheses made of Emax are distinguished by the strength and durability of lithium disilicate, which gives them excellent toughness.
• Prostheses made of Emax give our front teeth the best strength, durability, transparency and structure among all the materials used in prosthodontics.

Disadvantages of Emax installations

Emacs have a number of drawbacks, including:

• Prosthodontics made of Emax material are not suitable for crowns or bridges of the back teeth, as this will expose them to the possibility of fracture.
• If the doctor decides to use Emax in the manufacture of prostheses and bridges for the back teeth, then the doctor must sharpen and file the teeth greatly, in order for the Emax implants that will be installed on the back teeth of great thickness, so that they are able to bear the loads and high pressures.
• Since the Emax material is highly transparent, so it is not suitable for people who have dark colored teeth, because this will give a difference in color between the natural teeth and Emax.

The difference between Emax and veneers

Research and medical studies conducted on Emax and veneers, which are used in the manufacture of veneers and dental prostheses, have shown that there are differences between these two materials, as these differences are as follows:

• The first of these differences is that the Emax is installed on the teeth without any dental preparation because it has a fine thickness, while we must scrape the teeth before installing the veneers because of its thickness.
• The veneer is stronger than Emax, knowing that the two materials are prone to breakage in cases of pressure and heavy load.
• E-max and veneers cannot be installed if the teeth suffer from infections or sensitivity, so before installing them, treatment must be carried out until full recovery, bearing in mind that veneers may cause sensitivity to the teeth more than E-max.
• One of the differences between E-max and veneers is that E-Max is highly transparent, which leads to the appearance of the natural tooth color, unlike the veneer veneer, which gives a bright white color.
• One of the downsides to Emax veneers is that their cost is twice the cost of veneers.
• Installing veneers or Emax correctly and with an experienced doctor will not cause the patient any problems or infections, but it should be noted that installing veneers makes the teeth more vulnerable to problems and sensitivity than Emax.

The difference between Emax and Zircon

Research and medical studies conducted on Emax and Zircon, which are used in the manufacture of veneers and dental prostheses, have shown that there are differences between these two materials, as these differences are as follows:

• The first difference is that Emax is a ceramic that contains glass in its composition, while zircon is a crystallized ceramic that does not contain glass in its composition.
• Zircon is a polycrystalline material with a high hardness that can reach 1400 MPa, while Emax has a lower hardness, ranging between 350 and 400 MPa.
• Since zircon is stronger and harder than Emax, it is preferable to use it to treat back teeth that are subjected to greater pressure than the front teeth.
• Since the front teeth are more visible than the back teeth, it is recommended to use Emax to compensate for the front teeth being more transparent, and that the reflection of light from them mimics the reflection from the natural teeth, while the back teeth are used for them, which is darker and darker in color.
• Since E-max is less thick than zirconia prostheses, E-Max is more likely to have small holes on its inner surface, which makes E-max veneers more adherent to the teeth than zircon veneers.
• Emax veneers do not need any layer on top of them, while zircon veneers prefer a layer of porcelain to be placed over them in order to give them vitality and a look that mimics natural teeth.
• It is worth noting that Evoclear Vivadent, one of the leading companies in the manufacture of dental prosthetics, has produced a material that combines zircon and Emax, and it possesses the strength and hardness of zircon, and some of the transparency and vitality of Emax, where experiments have shown the possibility of using it in the manufacture of dental bridges in which the teeth reach up to 12 tablets.

Emax dental implant prices

• Dental implant prices vary depending on the material used in the manufacture of the implants, in addition to the accuracy and skill of manufacturing.
• The price of one veneer made of zircon in the Arab Republic of Egypt ranges between 1500 and 2500 Egyptian pounds.
• While the price of one shell manufactured from Emax is between 3000 and 4000 EGP.
• In Turkey, the price of one shell made of Emax is about 250 US dollars.
• The zircon veneer costs about $125.

Thus, we have talked through this article about E-max installations as one of the types of materials from which dental prostheses are made, where we have shown the types, specifications, advantages and disadvantages of E-Max, in addition to talking about the difference between E-max, zircon and veneers.
