title: IPS Classic. Science, art and nature: a case report.
abstract: The ceramo-metal restoration still forms the backbone of modern restorative dentistry, despite many new systems. This article discusses a unique ceramo-metal system, its advantages, and clinical and technical applications; teamwork between the dentist and the technician is emphasized. IPS Classic (Ivoclar Williams) is a ceramic system with several exclusive features. It encompasses Color Visions, a computer-generated shade system, and the IPS Impulse modifier system allows the ceramist unlimited creativity in color development.
