title: Using a nanohybrid composite with ceramic-like properties.
abstract: IPS Empress Direct is a nanohybrid composite exhibiting remarkable handling properties that combines the aesthetics of ceramic with the chairside direct placement convenience of a composite. Suitable for placing both anterior and posterior restorations, IPS Empress Direct enhances the restorative process, demonstrates high stability, and exhibits shade fidelity and enhanced polishing properties (Figure 6). Its physical properties are specially designed for simplified application. Low sensitivity to light ensures ample, pressure-free working time for designing restorations.
