Q. hi there, i would appreciate your input on which pressed ceramic veneer system to use, empress or emax?

A. They are both good systems.  Both can be bonded to the tooth.  Empress had a flexuraL strength up to 300 MPa whilst Emax has a flexural strength up to 450 MPa.  With Emax having High translucency (HT) and low translucency(LT) blocks with multiple base colours avaliable I have been having great success with this system.  As always a lot depends on how experienced a technician is with each system
