[QUOTE="Patrick Coon, post: 169951, member: 11366"] You would need the IPS e.max ZriPress ingots. They are different than the normal IPS e.max Press ingots. IPS e.max Press is the Lithium Disilicate material with a CTE of 10.5 (same as Zirconia, so not compatible). IPS e.max ZirPress is a Flourapatite glass ceramic with a CTE of 9.8 (think IPS e.max Ceram in an ingot form). ZirPress comes in 3 translucencies (HT, LT, MO) and a gingival ingot for pressing gingiva on large bridgework. Most of the time we only press the HT material, since your Zirconia framework is giving most of shade and opacity. [/QUOTE]
