Dental Services Group (DSG), the nation’s largest network of dental laboratories, announced today that IPS e.max has become a preferred restorative solution among dentists looking for both durable and highly esthetic restorations.

"IPS e.max has had an amazing track record of success," said DSG Chief Operating Officer Matt Morgan."With a 98.5% survival rating and the new strength data that Ivoclar Vivadent recently announced, we are happy to make this one of our go-to premium restorative materials."

Ivoclar Vivadent recently released further testing data citing IPS e.max Lithium Disilicate with an average biaxial flexural strength of 500MPa.This means that dental professionals can now recommend as little as 1.0mm of material thickness for IPS e.max minimally invasive restorations when adhesively cemented.

"At DSG, we are focusing on quality esthetic solutions that are best suited for the patient. This, combined with our service excellence, is a great value enhancement for dentists and patients," added Morgan. "Our partnership with Ivoclar Vivadent is an example of our commitment to our customers’ success."

The extensive technical expertise of DSG technicians, coupled with excellence in service training, ensures the highest quality and consistency in restorations. This allows DSG to provide dentists with both the personalized care made possible by a local laboratory, and the full suite of offerings by the nation’s largest laboratory network.

Sarah Anders, Ivoclar Vivadent's North American Chief Operating Officer, shares her outlook: "We are proud to partner with DSG as they expand their capabilities and offerings with IPS e.max. The outstanding clinical success of IPS e.max, partnered with DSG's national laboratory network, helps to drive better dentistry throughout North America.”
