Introducing the only Direct Compositethat can be called Empress®

For nearly 20 years, the name IPSEmpress has been associated withthe highest level of esthetics in thereproduction of natural toothcharacteristics. With more than37 million restorations fabricatedwith IPS Empress to date, thesystem has gained a reputationfor producing long-lasting,natural-looking results andmaintaining high quality standards.

Over the years, the IPS EmpressSystem has been further developedkeeping pace with the latest trendsin cosmetic dentistry. As a resultenhancements have been made tothe material’s esthetics, functionand processing properties.

In 2004, the system was furtherexpanded and optimized withthe introduction of IPS EmpressEsthetic pressable ceramic. Thiswas followed by the release ofIPS Empress CAD in 2006,creating an opportunity for estheticrestorations to be milled chairsideusing CAD/CAM technology, andplaced immediately.

IPS Empress Direct is the latestaddition to the IPS Empress System.It provides dentists with the estheticsof a ceramic with the convenienceof composite.

IPS Empress DirectThe only Direct Compositethat can be called Empress!

• Exceptional handling

• Simplified application

• True-to-natureSM shades

• Superior polish

IPS Empress Direct is a universal nano-hybrid filling materialfor direct esthetic restorative procedures. IPS Empress Directoffers a high gloss polish and the lifelike opacity, fluorescenceand opalescence necessary to create beautiful and naturallyesthetic restorations with remarkable efficiency.

Collaboration among dental professionals, researchers andcolor specialists led to the development of IPS EmpressDirect, a new resin formulation maximizing handlingcharacteristics, physical properties and uncompromisedshade match. The high level esthetics and natural beautyof this new material makes IPS Empress Direct the idealcomposite for use in combination with IPS Empress ceramics.

The newly expanded IPS Empress System continues to besynonymous with highly esthetic restorations, giving evenyour most discerning patients the radiant smiles they desire.

IPS Empress® DirectTrue-to-natureSM shades and translucencies for beautiful,natural-looking direct restorations

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 ambient light it

appears to have a bluish tinge,

while in transmitted light this

color changes to reddish-orange.

This effect can be imitated

using the new Opalescent

shade of IPS Empress Direct.

IPS Empress Direct features an

even distribution of filler particles

facilitating a quick and easy

polish for a long-lasting lustrous

shine, similar to both IPS Empress

Esthetic and IPS Empress CAD.

Fluorescence is produced by

special pigments found in dentin

which absorb energy from UV

light and immediately emit it

as visible light. The shades of

IPS Empress Direct have been

calibrated to produce the effect

of natural fluorescence.

Fluorescence ofnatural teeth

It is recommended that all

IPS Empress Direct restorations

be polished with Astropol and

Astrobrush. Astropol finishers

and polishers feature fine diamond

particles producing a smoother

surface on nano-hybrid composites,

while the specially formulated

polishing medium within

Astrobrush polishing brushes

generate high gloss results.

Dentin Enamel Trans 20 Trans 30 Opalescence

5 levels of translucency

With dentin being more opaque

than enamel, it is virtually

impossible to restore the original

optical properties of natural teeth

using just one shade of composite.

IPS Empress Direct Dentin and

Enamel shades feature calibrated

translucencies that work together

creating exceptional esthetics with

accurate color match every time.

The Dentin shades feature more

opacious (7.4 – 7.9%) saturated

chroma generating the basic color

of the tooth from within, while

the translucency of the Enamel

shades has been adjusted to

provide a natural depth to the

restoration, diffusing the color of

the dentin, similar to natural tooth

structure. Further gradations in

translucency can be achieved

using the Translucent and

Opalescent shades.

The high radiopacity of IPS Empress Direct as

compared to natural tooth structure ensures

a sound diagnosis.

IPS Empress Direct is considerably less

sensitive to light than other composite

materials providing adequate time to

sculpt the anatomy of the restoration.

Step 1:Tooth preparation.

Dr Markus Lenhard, Switzerland“There is no easier or more efficientway to reproduce the effect of naturalopalescence. The material is easy tofinish and a superior high-gloss polishis achieved.“

Dr Arnd Peschke, Ivoclar VivadentAG, Liechtenstein“This material allows the appearanceof natural anterior and posterior teethto be reliably mimicked.Its exceptional handling properties andthe long working time make placingthe composite in anatomical layers areal pleasure.“

Step 2:Match and replace thedentin with the appro-priate Dentin shade(eg A2 Dentin).

Step 3:Replace the enamel withthe appropriate Enamelshade (eg A2 Enamel).

Step 4:Finish and polish to ahigh luster.

Working Time (seconds)

Achieving natural esthetics with

IPS Empress Direct is a simple

task. The true-to-nature shades

and calibrated translucencies

eliminate the need for compli-

cated “recipes.” Determine the

dentin and enamel shades using

the IPS Empress Direct ceramic

shade guide and simply replace

the missing tooth structure with

the appropriate material; replace

dentin with the corresponding

dentin shade, and enamel with

the corresponding enamel shade.

Ivoclar Vivadent provides a full line of clinical accessories

and equipment specifically designed to maximize the

performance of highly esthetic composite restorations.
