Both pressing technology and CAD/CAM methods have proven themselves clinically for the fabrication of allceramic restorations. The advantages of the Cerec technology for the economic fabrication of all-ceramic bridges can be exploited by the use of burn-out blanks of polymer material. The milling process of very hard ceramics in the milling unit, which has some disadvantages, is replaced by the pressing process and makes the IPS e.max press material accessible to CAD/CAM users, primarily for extending the range of indications to splinted crowns and small all-ceramic bridges. Keywords: all-ceramic, CAD/CAM technology, pressing technique, lithium disilicate.
