Overview: Dandy eMax restorations provide life-like translucency and durability for anterior dental cases using high-quality Lithium Disilicate materials.
Dandy eMax Restoration Product Offerings
Dandy provides two types of eMax crowns designed with varying strengths and aesthetic profiles for clinical use.
Full-Contour Lithium Disilicate
Full-Contour Lithium Disilicate offers a high-aesthetic restorative material that maintains significant structural strength.
Ideal Clinical Cases: Single unit anterior, multiple anterior single-unit restorations, and veneers.
Bridges: Suitable for bridges up to 3 units; Mandibular anterior placement is preferred due to specific strength limitations.
Lithium Disilicate with Layered Porcelain
This option provides the highest aesthetic quality by combining a milled core with eMax layered porcelain.
Ideal Clinical Cases: Single unit anterior, multiple anterior single-unit restorations, and veneers.
Bridges: Suitable for bridges up to 3 units; Mandibular anterior placement is preferred.
