There’s simply no other all-ceramic option that provides the breathtaking esthetics of IPS Empress®. Its leucite glass ceramic is suitable for single-unit crowns, inlays and onlays in the cosmetic zone. The high translucency of Empress doesn’t merely provide lifelike esthetics, but picks up shading from surrounding dentition to provide the optimum shade match even in difficult cases. Its average flexural strength of 160 MPa is roughly 60 percent higher than that of conventional porcelain, making it the durable, esthetic choice.
