Ivoclar Vivadent IPS e.max CAD CEREC InLab LT B1 C14 Blocks 5 Pack

Description

Product Overview

The Ivoclar Vivadent IPS e.max CAD CEREC InLab LT B1 C14 block is engineered from a high‑strength lithium disilicate glass‑ceramic matrix, delivering a balance of mechanical durability and optical translucency that meets the rigorous demands of modern dental laboratories. Each block is precision‑milled to a uniform size, ensuring consistent fit and finish across multiple restorations. The material’s composition provides a flexural strength of up to 370 MPa, allowing clinicians to fabricate full‑coverage crowns, veneers, inlays, and onlays with confidence in long‑term performance. The B1 shade classification offers a natural, warm hue that blends seamlessly with surrounding dentition, while the C14 translucency level enhances light transmission for lifelike aesthetics. Designed for compatibility with Ivoclar’s CEREC and other leading CAD/CAM systems, the block integrates smoothly into digital workflows, reducing chair‑time and material waste. Each package contains five 5 mm × 12 mm × 14 mm blocks, providing sufficient stock for batch production while maintaining a compact footprint for laboratory storage.

Usage

Dental technicians can incorporate the IPS e.max InLab LT blocks into a variety of restorative protocols. After selecting the appropriate block size, the material is milled using a calibrated CAD/CAM unit, where the software translates the digital design into precise geometry. Post‑milling, the restoration undergoes a crystallization firing cycle at 840 °C for approximately 30 minutes, which enhances the material’s strength and stabilizes its shade. The resulting restoration can be glazed or polished to achieve a high‑gloss finish that mimics natural enamel. This block is particularly well‑suited for cases requiring thin‑section restorations, as its high flexural strength permits reductions of up to 1.5 mm without compromising integrity. The material’s biocompatibility has been validated through extensive clinical testing, making it safe for long‑term intra‑oral use. Laboratories serving general dentists, orthodontists, and prosthodontists will find the block’s versatility valuable for meeting diverse patient needs, from single‑unit crowns to multi‑unit fixed prostheses.

FAQ

What is the recommended firing protocol for the InLab LT block?

After milling, the restoration should be placed in a ceramic furnace and fired at 840 °C for approximately 30 minutes. This crystallization step solidifies the lithium disilicate structure and enhances the material’s mechanical properties.

Can the block be used for both crowns and veneers?

Yes, the IPS e.max InLab LT block is versatile enough to fabricate full‑coverage crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, and multi‑unit prostheses, thanks to its high strength and excellent translucency.

Is the material compatible with all bonding agents?

The block works well with a wide range of dental bonding agents that are approved for use with lithium disilicate ceramics. Following the manufacturer’s surface‑treatment guidelines will ensure optimal adhesion.

How does the block’s shade stability compare to other ceramics?

The B1 shade combined with C14 translucency is engineered for long‑term color stability. Clinical studies have shown minimal color shift after aging, making it a reliable choice for esthetic cases.
