A case reports using IPS Empress 2 were presented. IPS Empress 2 is a new lithium disilicate reinforced ceramic material that can be used for veneers, inlays, crowns and anterior bridges. Although only limited long-term data are available, preliminary reports show excellent marginal adaptation, superior esthetics, and improved strength over other strengthened porcelains.The search for the ultimate restorative material continues. At present, the system described seems to offer the flexibility, ease of use, and strength needed to be an esthetic option in certain intraoral clinical situations. Preliminary reports and personal communications of clinical success indicate that further long term, in vivo, clinical trials are warranted and necessary before this material is more widely used.
