May I ask, what is the minimum thickness for pressing for emax (for veneers, to be layered ceramic on it)

the minimum is until your wax distorts!
I pressed a six unit trial veneer case at 0.09 (YES 0.09) to see how far i could push the system. (thats 0.09 pressed, not after thinning out with a bur!)
They all pressed and fit fine, and you could layer ceramic on these no problem, just keep the ratios of frame to layering thickness in mind.
The lithium disilicate its self does not become unstable or anything like that at these thickness's so its prefectly fine. And you can still handle and work with it fine. Not like feldspathic which would break just by picking it up at 0.09.
The only limit appears to be how thin you can get your wax before it distorts, so just go for it.
Just remember you have virtually no masking abaility at these Ultra thin amounts, so its application is limited.
yes, I thought you meant layering on, my apologies.yes veneers NOT crown copings!
sorry if that wasn't clear.
ill take my integeral .1 veneer over your "healed" restorations any day thanks.
