A medium grit, round-ended, diamond bur
is used to remove a uniform thickness of facial
enamel by joining the depth-cut grooves.
The diamond bur is angled to
bevel back the incisal edge.
IPS e.max can be pressed to as thin as 0.3 mm
for veneers. If sufficient space is present, IPS
e.max can be placed over the existing teeth
without the removal of any tooth structure.
Depending on the case requirements,
however, some teeth may need to be prepared to accomodate for the thickness of the
ceramic and to ensure for proper contour and
emergence profile.
1.0 mm to 1.5 mm
incisal reduction
Depth cuts of 0.6 mm
to 0.8 mm*
*Please note: For additional masking capabilities and/or layering techniques, further reduction may be necessary. Contact your laboratory for further information.
