What are the full IPS e.max® Layered specifications, and how does it compare to ROE's other fixed restorations?

Two figures clinicians should note

  • Strength: ROE describes the lithium disilicate substructure as providing 360–400 MPa flexural strength (its comparison chart lists 400 MPa). That is robust for a glass-ceramic core, but well below the full-contour zirconia products (~1100 MPa) and below IPS e.max Monolithic (530 MPa). This is the practical reason the layered version is confined to anterior single units.
  • Shade system: It is offered across all VITA 3D-Master shades — the more granular of the two VITA systems, suited to the fine color discrimination an anterior esthetic case demands.

How to read the lineup

Think of ROE's fixed restorations as a spectrum from maximum esthetics, moderate strength to maximum strength, good esthetics. IPS e.max Layered sits at the esthetic end alongside PFZ; the zirconia products anchor the strength end.

Restoration Strength (MPa) Esthetics Wear Materials Applications
IPS e.max® Layered 400 ★★★★★ ★★★★ Lithium disilicate + low-fusing porcelain Anterior crown
IPS e.max® Monolithic 530 ★★★ ★★★★ Lithium disilicate Anterior crown, bicuspid crown
PFZ (Porcelain Fused Zirconia) 250 ★★★★★ ★★★★ 4Y zirconia + low-fusing porcelain Anterior crown/bridge
TLZ Zirconia with MiYO® 1100 ★★★★ ★★★★★ Full-contour 4Y zirconia + MiYO® Anterior/posterior crown & bridge
zRc Zirconia 1100 ★★★ ★★★★★ Full-contour 4Y zirconia Anterior/posterior crown & bridge
PFM (Porcelain Fused Metal) 200 ★★★ ★★★★ Metal + layered porcelain Anterior/posterior crown & bridge
Full Cast Metal — ★★ ★★★★★ Non-precious / noble / high-noble Posterior crown & bridge

Quick clinical filter: A single visible anterior tooth that must disappear into the smile → IPS e.max Layered (or PFZ). The same tooth in a heavy bite or a grinder → weigh the esthetic benefit against a zirconia-based option.
