IPS d.SIGNŽ
IPS d.SIGNŽ has a unique combination of Fluorapatite and
Leucite crystals that imitate the optical properties of
natural teeth, dispersing light throughout the material
in a manner similar to natural dentition. Now the technician
can go beyond the limitations of traditional porcelains
and achieve the ultimate combination of bright colors
and high translucency without adding conventional opacifying
agents. In addition to increased brightness and brilliance,
this strikingly esthetic glass ceramic offers enhanced
stability of shade and true-to-nature fluorescence. This
patented formula is unlike any feldspathic porcelain ever
produced because it replicates the shape of the needle-like
hydroxy-apatite crystals found in natural tooth structure.
It's not the same old porcelain! It's "Fluorapatite-Leucite
Glass-Ceramic"... a patented formula which replicates
the crystals found in natural dentition and the way
it disperses light...is astounding!
Revolutionary Material
IPS d.SIGNŽ is a revolutionary new glass-ceramic-fused-to-metal
system featuring a patented new "Fluorapatite-Leucite
Glass-Ceramic" with six matched alloys. This patented
formula is unlike any feldspathic porcelain ever produced
because it replicates the shape of the needle-like hydroxyapatite
crystals found in natural tooth structure.

These SEM photos show the similarity
of crystals found in natural tooth structure and new
IPS d.SIGNŽ Fluorapatite-Leucite material. This type
of crystal is not found in feldspathic porcelain.
Revolutionary Esthetics
IPS d.SIGNŽ has a unique combination of Fluorapatite
and Leucite crystals that imitate the optical properties
of natural teeth, dispersing light throughout the material
in a manner similar to natural dentition. Now the technician
can go beyond the limitations of traditional porcelains
and achieve the ultimate combination of bright colors
(a high degree of luminous reflectance) and high translucency
(transmission of light) without adding conventional
opacifying agents. In addition to this increased brightness
and brilliance, this strikingly aesthetic glass-ceramic
offers enhanced stability of shade and true-to-nature
fluorescence.
Revolutionary Wear Characteristics
IPS d.SIGNŽ offers superior wear characteristics similar
to enamel.
