the new ips e.max cad medium translucency blocks
have the optimum balance between translucency, chroma and
value, making it the most beautiful IPS e.max CAD block to date (Fig. 1).
The medium translucency combines the best attributes of the HT and LT – a blend of opacity, opalescence and translucency
creating the most esthetic shades in the IPS e.max CAD line.

The medium translucency
shades offer higher brightness
than the HT blocks and higher
translucency than the LT
blocks. The MT shades fall “in
the middle” of the LT and HT
in terms of translucency.
The MT block will be avail-
able in seven shades and will
include three shades from the
current Value Shades thatmove into theMTshades selection(Fig. 2).
The MT shades will offer the same physical properties of the
current HT and LT blocks, and will offer the ability to be speed-
crystallized in the Programat furnace. The Opal Translucency
will require a longer firing cycle to optimize the
development of the enamel-like color (Fig. 3).
The clinical result of the MT block is a beautiful
combination of translucency, chroma and value,
and possibly the most beautiful IPS e.max CAD
restorations to date (Figs. 4-5).
