Product Overview
Emax Crowns for Esthetic Fixed Restorations
Emax crowns are lithium disilicate restorations commonly selected for anterior and visible-zone cases where shade matching, translucency, contour, and surface texture are important. These cases require careful control of margin fit, material thickness, contact relationships, and occlusion to support both esthetics and function.
SDS supports Emax crown cases from scan review and full-contour CAD design through manufacturing and final quality control, with attention to emergence profile, proximal contacts, occlusal clearance, shade information, and the requirements of the selected lithium disilicate workflow.

Key details dental labs may need before sending E.max crown cases to SDS for CAD design, case review, and production preparation.
E.max Crown Considerations for Esthetic Cases
E.max crowns are commonly used in esthetic fixed restoration workflows where shade matching, translucency, contour, and surface texture require careful review. For dental labs, E.max crown cases often depend on accurate scan data, clear shade information, margin adaptation, emergence profile, and material thickness control.

Technical Details for E.max Crown Cases
| Restoration Type | Single-unit E.max crown for esthetic fixed crown workflows. |
|---|---|
| Common Material | Lithium disilicate ceramic. Specific shade, translucency, block or ingot selection, and finishing requirements should follow your lab’s E.max material system and restoration workflow. |
| Best-Fit Applications | Anterior E.max crowns, premolar crowns, visible-zone restorations, esthetic single crowns, metal-free crown cases, and dental lab workflows that require shade control, contour accuracy, and natural translucency. |
| Files to Send | STL files, intraoral scan data, bite records, shade information, stump shade when available, case photos, preparation notes, esthetic requirements, and lab-specific E.max crown design instructions. |
| CAD Workflow | SDS supports 3Shape, Exocad, and STL-based digital workflows for E.max crown CAD design, margin adaptation, emergence profile design, and production-ready file preparation. |
| Design Inputs | Margin preference, contact preference, occlusion notes, emergence profile, crown contour, surface texture, shade requirement, translucency requirement, material thickness, and production instructions. |
| Production Notes | Production preparation can support milling or pressing workflows, crystallization, staining, glazing, polishing, fit review, and final workflow checks when required by the lab. |
Lab Partnership
Why Dental Labs Trust SDS
as a Behind-the-Scenes CAD Partner
SDS supports dental labs with CAD design and production preparation while protecting their workflow, customer relationships, and business confidentiality.
Clear Case Communication
We review case instructions, scans, shade information, esthetic requirements, and restoration details before E.max crown cases move into CAD design or production preparation.
E.max Crown WorkflowConsistent CAD Output
SDS helps labs maintain consistent margin adaptation, emergence profile, contact control, occlusion review, contour, and surface texture support across daily E.max crown and esthetic fixed restoration workflows.
Esthetic CAD Design SupportConfidential Lab Support
SDS works behind the scenes to help dental labs manage E.max crown case volume, digital files, and production preparation without exposing their local client relationships.
