The shade system of IPS Empress Direct is intuitively organised.
A Dentin shade is used to replace natural dentin and an Enamel shade to reproduce natural enamel. In addition, three different translucent shades are available for imitating the play of light in the incisal area.
The IPS Empress Direct shade system is logically structured and therefore very easy to use. A dentin substitute replaces natural dentin and an enamel substitute replaces natural enamel. This allows you to intuitively layer the most complex restorations and swiftly choose your shades.
