Is the IPS Empress material vulnerable to cavities?

No, the IPS Empress material is a leucite-reinforced glass ceramic that is not prone to cavities the same way that your natural tooth structure is. However, depending upon the restorations you receive, based on your dentist’s treatment plan for you, areas of your natural teeth may remain uncovered by the IPS Empress material. In such instances, those areas of your natural teeth would be prone to cavities.
