IPS e.max Shade Navigation App for relaxed and reliable working procedures

Schaan, Liechtenstein: The IPS e.max Shade Navigation App assists in identifying the correct shade and level of translucency for IPS e.max restorations. Zirconium oxide has now been added to the selection of materials listed on the app alongside lithium disilicate.

The Shade Navigation App now includes the complete range of IPS e.max materials thanks to the addition of the zirconia discs and blocks. Now that these materials are integrated in the app, users can select the ideal shade and translucency from the IPS e.max range and the optimal complementary materials in just five steps.

Selecting shade and
translucency with ease
The Shade Navigation App finds the correct shade and level of translucency for all IPS e.max restorations. All the important factors that influence the overall shade design are taken into account. These factors include desired tooth shade, indication, die shade, layer thickness and desired material. Using the app is child's play: Once the app is fed with the relevant information, it presents an appropriate solution for the requested work.

On the right track
Two recent awards confirm that Ivoclar Vivadent is on the right track with this innovation. The Shade Navigation App received an innovation prize at two regional trade fairs in Germany. For the first time ever, a dental application has won.

The Shade Navigation App is available for Android and iOS smartphones and tablets to download.
