With the reestablishment of function no longer a clinical issue, the aesthetic challenge takes precedence, with patients expecting natural-looking results. Since the late 1980s, a leucite-reinforced pressed-glass ceramic (IPS Empress, Ivoclar Williams, Amherst, NY) has been utilized in the anterior region for full crowns and veneers and in the posterior region for crowns, inlays and onlays. This article presents results achieved with the IPS Empress all-ceramic system, which features a unique combination of strength and natural light transmission qualities that resemble the characteristics of natural teeth.
随着功能重建不再是临床问题，美学挑战成为首要问题，患者期望获得自然美观的效果。自20世纪80年代末以来，白榴石增强压铸玻璃陶瓷（IPS Empress，义获嘉威兰德，纽约州阿默斯特）已被用于前牙区制作全冠和贴面，以及后牙区制作冠、嵌体和高嵌体。本文介绍了IPS Empress全瓷系统所取得的成果，该系统具有强度和自然透光性的独特组合，类似于天然牙齿的特性。
