IPS e.max Ceram Art Illusion 5g – Optical Effect Pastes for Monolithic Restorations | Ivoclar

Pastes designed to reproduce the natural optical effects of the tooth: they do not provide a base color, but rather light dynamics, depth, texture, and transition, imitating the properties of enamel and anatomical details. Essential for highly aesthetic results in monolithic restorations.

Indications for use

• Reproduction of mamelons, opalescence, halos, light absorption effects, and cervical transitions
• Creation of three-dimensional depth without traditional layering
• Adding vitality and naturalness to incisal edges, marginal ridges, and optical detail areas
• Adjusting the value, translucency, and light behavior of the restoration

Available variants

Illusion Mamelon – Incisal mamelon effects:

• Mamelon Red-Orange – Pronounced mamelons with a warm reddish hue. For young dentition or accentuated internal anatomy
• Mamelon Light-Salmon – Soft and natural mamelon effect with a slight salmon hue

Illusion Opal – Opalescence for translucent incisal edges:

• Opal Light-Blue – Light blue opalescence for young, translucent enamel
• Opal Sky-Blue – More visible vitreous effect with moving light
• Opal Night Blue – Deep opalescence for very vitreous and cool enamels

Illusion Halo – Luminous incisal halo:

• Halo Ivory – Light ivory halo, classic for natural incisors
• Halo Ocher – Warm ocher halo for warm shades or aged enamels

Illusion Enamel:

• Enamel Pearl – Increases the value of the incisal third and marginal ridges. "Butterfly" effect and vitreous luster

Illusion Absorber – Value reduction and light absorption:

• Absorber Light-Violet – Delicate violet to decrease value on incisal and proximal surfaces
• Absorber Fog – Neutral gray to balance overly bright restorations
• Absorber Quartz – Pronounced absorption for deep shadows at the margins without losing translucency

Illusion Cervical – Natural cervical transition:

• Cervical Yellow-Pink – Warm yellow-pink hue for the tooth-gingiva transition in light cervical areas
• Cervical Nude – Soft and neutral shade for conservative aesthetics and natural cases

Final Result

Illusion pastes allow for an extremely accurate reproduction of internal enamel and dentin effects: depth, luster, shadows, opalescence, and transition for a monolithic restoration with light behavior practically identical to the natural tooth.
