– Pack includes:
– 3 X 3g Dentin Restorations
– 3 X 3g Enamle Restoration
– 2 X 3g Translucent Restorations
– Advantages:
- Wide range of indications for anterior and posterior teeth
– High surface gloss
– Lifelike fluorescence
– Extended working time
– High radiopacity
– Compatible with Tetric EvoFlow, Tetric Color and most light-cure resin-composites
– The shade guide is autoclavable and made of ceramic: the shade guide retains its integrity over many years since the shade tabs do not fade if exposed to light
– IPS Empress Direct is a light-curing, highly esthetic nano-hybrid composite filling material for direct restorative procedures in the anterior and posterior region
– Like natural dentin, the IPS Empress Direct Dentin shades exhibit higher opacity and more opacious saturated chroma than the Enamel materials. They support the basic color of the tooth structure from within. The translucency of the Enamel materials has been adjusted to diffuse the dentinal substrate. Further gradations in translucency are achieved with the Trans 20, Trans 30 and Opal shades. The well-balanced and mutually complementing translucencies of the IPS Empress Direct Dentin and Enamel materials give you the power to create exceptional esthetics with accurate color every time.
– IPS Empress Direct from the IPS Empress range combines the esthetics of ceramics with the application advantages of composites
– Designed for dentists who specialize in placing highly esthetic composite restorations and who strive to mimic the appearance of natural teeth
– Opalescence is evident in the incisal area of natural teeth. In simple terms, this optical effect is based on the different ways in which long waves (red) and short waves (blue) of light are scattered. If a tooth is examined in incidental light it appears to have a bluish tinge, while in transmitted light this color changes to reddish-orange. This effect has to be imitated with the corresponding materials in the restoration of teeth.
– The composite provides long-lasting esthetic results
– IPS Empress Direct offers convenient handling for sophisticated requirements
– IPS Empress Direct has an even distribution of filler particles which quickly and easily polish to a longlasting lustrous shine. It has similar polishing characteristics to both IPS Empress Esthetic and IPS Empress CAD. The polish is also retained similar to the gloss retention of a microfilled composite.
– Fluorescence is produced by special pigments, which absorb energy from UV light and immediately emit it as visible light
– Composition:
– The monomer matrix is composed of dimethacrylates (20-21.5 wt%,
opalescent shade 17 wt%)
– The fillers contain barium glass, ytterbium trifluoride, mixed oxide, silicon dioxide and copolymer (77.5-79 wt%, opalescent shade 83 wt%)
– Additional contents: additives, initiators, stabilizers and pigments (<1.0 wt%) - Indications: - Anterior restorations - Restorations in the posterior region - Tooth neck restorations (Class V, e.g. in the case of cervical caries, root erosion, wedge-shaped defects) - Corrections of tooth positions and tooth shape (e.g. diastema closure, closure of interdental “black triangles”, lengthening of the incisal edge) - Direct veneers - Directions to Use: - Replace dentin with the corresponding Dentin shade determined by the IPS Empress Direct shade guide - Tooth preparation - Match and replace the dentin with the appropriate Dentin shade - Replace the enamel with the appropriate Enamel shade - Finish and polish to a high luster
