 Fluorapatite molecule The
feldspar-free glass-ceramic IPS d.SIGN provides a new perspective on PFM ceramics.
Fluorapatite-leucite glass-ceramic is the accurate scientific definition of this newly
developed ceramic. The objective in the development of this material was to achieve a
strikingly aesthetic glass-ceramic that features convenient processing properties. |

The wear data of IPS d.SIGN is decidedly better than that of conventional feldspar
ceramics. The wear of opposing dentition is substantially reduced. Vertical wear of antagonistic enamel. Internal investigation, R&D, Ivoclar AG (1998) |
