Preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible is one of the main goal of conservative dentistry, A long lasting solution for restoring the function, esthetic and bio-mechanics of teeth when using minimally invasive technique is required. Emax crowns are prepared from lithium disilicate, which is a glass ceramic and possesses excellent strength. Emax crown imitate natural beauty of tooth structure, and it is all ceramic, looks lifelike, offer durability and high strength regardless of the indication. They offer outstanding performance which is because of combination of excellent flexural strength and high fracture toughness. The clinical success of the material attests to its quality. This is the material of choice since tooth conserving and conventional cementation are possible. Anterior restoration require esthetic excellency which is possible by lifelike transition of color and translucency with the benefit of stability of a monolithic structure. Reduced restoration thickness enables tooth-preserving preparation and Bio-compatibility.
