Emax crowns are dental crowns made with lithium disilicate, which is durable and resembles natural tooth color. They’re worth the investment because they last a long time and are aesthetically appealing.
How strong are Emax crowns, and how long do they last?
The strength of the dental crown is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing crown material. Emax crowns have a lifespan of around 10 years or more. They’re made of extremely tough lithium disilicate material.
The most important thing to note is that a single block of lithium disilicate is used to make Emax crowns. This ensures that there are no joints in the construction and the crown can withstand maximum pressure. The chances of chipping or breaking this durable crown are low. Its compression strength is quite high compared to other crown materials, and an Emax crown has the strength rating of 500 MPa, meaning it can resist very high pressure without cracking or failing.
