E-Max Crown

A type of all-ceramic dental crown made from Lithium Disilicate glass. It is renowned for its translucency and ability to mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel better than any other material.

Why It Matters

While Zirconium is stronger, E-Max is more beautiful. It is the preferred choice for anterior (front) teeth where aesthetics are critical. It eliminates the "flat" or "opaque" look sometimes seen with other crowns.

Clinical Details

• Strength: Approximately 400-500 MPa. Strong enough for biting, but usually not recommended for posterior molars in patients who grind their teeth.
• Bonding: Unlike metal crowns which are cemented, E-Max can be chemically bonded to the tooth structure, increasing retention.
