These in-depth Continuing Education programs are scheduled across the United States and Canada and will include comprehensive lectures and hands-on components so participants can master the use of IPS Empress Direct.
IPS Empress Direct is a light-curing, nano-hybrid composite that demonstrates exceptional handling properties for achieving consistent anterior esthetics, similar to ceramics, but with the on-demand ease of composite. Based on the latest technology, IPS Empress Direct features a broad range of true-to-nature™ dentin and enamel shades, as well as translucencies and opacities that create limitless opportunities for realizing esthetic results for all indications, including those in the posterior segment.
“We are honored to have such an esteemed group of clinicians leading these CE programs and demonstrating the simplicity with which IPS Empress Direct can be used to achieve superior esthetic and functional direct restorations,” said Lisa Stronka, marketing manager for IPS Empress Direct.
