Why is IPS e.max Monolithic considered so esthetic?

Lithium disilicate has a lower refractive index than zirconia and contains a glass matrix combined with its lithium disilicate crystalline structure. This gives it noticeably higher translucency than current zirconia materials, allowing it to mimic the way light passes through natural tooth structure. ROE describes it as its most translucent monolithic option.

One nuance worth setting patient expectations around: a monolithic restoration finished with surface stain produces a very good esthetic result, particularly in the mid-arch and posterior regions. For the most demanding high-esthetic anterior cases, ROE offers IPS e.max Layered, where a layer of porcelain is fired over the core to add greater three-dimensional depth.
