Ivoclar’s Joe Pickering, CDT, and Nathan Courtney presented a program on the e.max System at the Carmel Hampton Inn on Thursday, April 1.

Joe discussed:

-         indications and contra-indications

-         prep guidelines

-         thin veneers

-         the fabrication process

-         shade communication

-         natural die shades

-         CAD vs Press

-         implant applications

-         case selection

Joe’s message was that e.max offers a system dentists can turn to for almost any restorative need and hit new cosmetic and strength potentials.

Nathan Courtney, a Clinical Specialist for Ivoclar, discussed Variolink, Multilink and SpeedCem. Nathan’s comments really did an excellent job of organizing Ivoclar’s delivery systems.

Variolink II  Variolink is a dual cure luting composite used successfully for 15+ years. Think of Variolink for high end esthetic cases, most likely driven by cosmetic considerations and fabricated using Empress Esthetic. This is a bonding process giving the dentists extreme control of the final shade through 6 delivery shades and 3 degrees of translucencies.

Multilink  Multilink is universal self-etching, luting composite system for the fast and reliable luting of indirect restorations made from all types of materials. Turn to Multilink when you identify a need for chemical retention and would like some control of shade at delivery. Multilink comes in 3 shades: yellow, transparent and opaque.

SpeedCem  SpeedCem is the work horse of Ivoclar’s offerings. It is a self-adhesive, self-curing resin cement with a light curing option. It is suitable for everything from an e.maxCAD crown to a full cast crown. With SpeedCem, you are thinking in terms of mechanical retention and do not need shade control at delivery.

Somer Dental Lab will team with Ivoclar Vivadent on Thursday April 1 from 6-8:30 PM at Carmel Hampton Inn for a program on e.max line of restorations. Our focus is primarily e.maxCAD and Press, the 2 materials that have proven themselves to find practical application every day.

You may have noticed the advertising war between 3M’s Lava Zirconia and Ivoclar’s Lithium Disilicate materials.  These were red hot topics at Lab Day in Chicago. This is a great opportunity to hear the Lithium Disilicate story, so please plan to attend.

This program is exclusively for Somer’s current accounts. Call Ted to reserve a place.
