After the February closing date, a panel of industry experts will evaluate the entries based on aesthetics, complexity and harmony. The best three teams from Europe/Middle East and Africa, North America and Oceania as well as Latin America and Asia will be announced next June. They will be awarded during Ivoclar Vivadent’s International Expert Symposium, to be held in Madrid, Spain.

It is currently available in lithium disilicate and zirconium oxide and can be used for the press technique and CAD/CAM technology. According to Ivoclar Vivadent, IPS e.max is backed up by a decade of clinical studies and more than 100 million restorations.
