Course Tutors : Rob Lynock

Locations: Liechtenstein

Introduction

This international three-day course enables each participant to experience all five components of the IPS e.max system. As such, it offers a superb opportunity to get to grips with this extensive and ever expanding all-ceramic system.

Overview

Our International Centre for Dental Education (ICDE) is based in Schaan, Liechtenstein and is set amongst the Liechtenstein, Austrian and Swiss Alps. During the daytime the training centre offers the stunning Alpine backdrop and then the evenings are free to relax with fellow course members.

The training begins early on the first day with detailed waxing, sprueing and investing techniques particular to the IPS e.max Press system. At the forefront of the latest developments with this system, this course will explore how the increasing range of translucencies and available shades offers new, more effective methods of framework design. The programme continues with the processing of IPS e.max ZirCAD milled bridge units with IPS e.max ZirPress alongside IPS e.max Press veneer units.

This course is devoted to basic and advanced layering techniques using IPS e.max Ceram. Particular attention is paid to achieving a uniform aesthetic result irrespective of the underlying framework. This nano fluorapatite leucite glass ceramic enables us to produce highly aesthetic restorations. Each participant will be given detailed tuition in the use of IPS e.max Ceram both when layering upon IPS e.max Press and ZirPress.

This course may be more suited to experienced Ceramists however, previous experience in the IPS e.max system is not required.
