THINKING THINGS OVER, THINKING
LATERALLY, THINKING AHEAD
ic VITA ENAMIC at the start of 2013 was
a real coup. However, that was just the
beginning, and was quickly followed by
the next highlight – the presentation of a
new generation of glass ceramics in the
shape of VITA SUPRINITY, a zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS) ceramic.
A free thinker is someone who
does not let themselves be limited in
their thinking by tradition, custom or
standard
practice.
Independent-minded at all times, a free thinker
is not bound by any particular ideology. As a result, they can explore new
avenues and develop innovative approaches to finding solutions.
As a free thinker, VITA Zahnfabrik has already proven its worth twice this year in
the area of CAD/CAM restoration materials. The introduction of the hybrid ceram-
The considerable interest shown at the
IDS press conference and at the VITA
trade show booth clearly indicated one
thing: the market is ready for a new generation of glass ceramics!
Conventional lithium disilicate cannot
meet increasing user expectations to the
same extent as VITA SUPRINITY. The
new generation of glass ceramics now
meets the need for improved mechanical
properties such as greater dynamic load
capacity combined with improved usability thanks to optimized processing characteristics coupled with superb esthetic
potential.
What are the possibilities afforded by
VITA SUPRINITY? This issue of VITA INFO
provides detailed information – so let
your imagination take flight!
In addition to other fascinating topics, you
will find exclusive background information, user opinions, case documentation
and a whole lot more besides about zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramic.

contact points that are gentle on the material, reducing the risk of the formation
of microscopic cracks. Removal can be
easily controlled with minimal tool wear.
Plaque-resistant surfaces with a brilliant
shine can be achieved. The clinical instruments can also be sterilized.
Stains
With the 19 fluorescent VITA AKZENT
Plus stains, you can stain and glaze VITA
SUPRINITY restorations easily and effectively, both internally during layering and
on the surface. You can choose between
powder and ready-to-use pastes; BODY
STAINS, GLAZE and GLAZE LT are also
available as a spray.
Fig. 1: VITA SUPRINITY – a system with
tailored components.
Material blanks
VITA SUPRINITY is a pre-crystallized zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS)
that reaches full strength after crystallization firing. The material is suitable for
anterior and posterior crowns, and can
also be used on implants as well as for
veneers, inlays, onlays and partial
crowns. The material blocks are available in geometry size LS14 (18 x 14 x 12
mm). The shade range includes 0M1, A1,
A2, A3, A3.5, B2, C2 and D2, each of
which is available in T = Translucent and
HT = Highly Translucent.
These stains can be used to characterize
any dental ceramic material, in addition to
VITA SUPRINITY.
Veneering ceramics
The low-melting, fine-structure feldspar
ceramic VITA VM 11 was developed specifically with the individualization of ZLS
in mind (Fig. 3).
The precisely adapted CTE values of the
framework and veneering material ensure outstanding adhesion and reliable
results with veneers that are not subject
to warping or stress.

VITA INFO 2.13
VITA VM 11 features a high level of translucency as well as warm shade reproduction and offers outstanding strength, minimum shrinkage and high edge stability.
Thanks to the excellent surface wettability of VITA SUPRINITY, layering can be
applied directly without liner or washbake firing.
VITA VM 11 also offers superb firing characteristics and remains dimensionally
stable even after it has been fired several
times. With the proven VITA VM fine
structure, a smooth, densely compact
surface is achieved that can be easily
milled and quickly polished.
Conclusion
Product solutions for polishing, characterization and veneering that are adapted to
the new generation of glass ceramics are
the ideal complement to VITA SUPRINITY
– providing practices and laboratories
with outstanding results from a single
supplier.

Polishing sets
The VITA SUPRINITY Polishing Sets (clinical/technical) facilitate efficient, reliable
and cost-effective surface processing
(Fig. 2).
The precise concentricity of the polishing
instruments, matching grit sizes and the
individual geometries enable polishing of
occlusal surfaces, cusps, fissures and

As a result, direct visual verification of
the thickness of the wall can be conducted while performing milling on the model.
And the dentist can immediately see the
fit on the tooth stump. My tip: using red
occlusion paper rather than blue is easier
to distinguish!
Fig. 1: Gerwin Arnetzl, university professor.
In your opinion, what are the differences compared to conventional
glass dental ceramics?
Fig. 2: Jens Richter, dental technician, Rochlitz, Germany.
In this interview, Prof. Gerwin Arnetzl from Graz, Austria (Fig. 1) and Jens
Richter, a dental technician from Rochlitz, Germany (Fig. 2) report on their experience with the CAD/CAM restoration
material VITA SUPRINITY.
Prof. Arnetzl, Mr. Richter, what do
you personally consider special
about the zirconia-reinforced lithium
silicate ceramic VITA SUPRINITY,
and what made you decide to use this
glass ceramic in your own work?
Prof. Gerwin Arnetzl: One of the characteristic properties of VITA SUPRINITY is
excellent edge stability. This is more conducive to allowing in-vivo try-ins to be
performed in the pre-crystallized state –
proceeding with caution, is, however,
nevertheless required. Very simple occlusal corrections can be carried out if necessary as the material is particularly easy
to process at this point.
Jens Richter, dental technician: In this
class of materials, VITA SUPRINITY offers excellent edge stability and is easier
to polish than lithium disilicate. A single-phase crystallization process is also
implemented that can be performed using
any dental vacuum furnace that offers
slow cooling. Furthermore, no particular
firing trays or firing pins are required, although the manufacturer does recommend platinum pins and honeycomb firing
trays. Firing paste is then no longer required at all. The fact that edges and
notches do not require stabilization is
particularly beneficial in the case of
inlays.
What are your expectations: how
much reliability can the new zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramic material VITA SUPRINITY provide
in terms of a long-lasting, reliable
clinical outcome?
Prof. Gerwin Arnetzl: Thanks to the superior stability of the new glass ceramic in
terms of optical characteristics such as
natural translucence, fluorescence and
opalescence, an esthetic alternative to
zirconia is now available for the fabrication of abutment crowns and implant
crowns (Fig. 4).
Jens Richter, dental technician: Based on
the initial studies and acknowledged mechanical properties of the material, I am
anticipating excellent long-term clinical
results.
Prof. Gerwin Arnetzl: Its composition
comprising a high proportion of zirconia is
what is unique, and, as a result, its material properties. In terms of the physical
and mechanical characteristics such as
flexural strength and load capacity, values superior to conventional glass ceramics were determined during laboratory
testing.
Jens Richter, dental technician: Also of
benefit to the dental technician and dental surgeon is the fact that VITA SUPRIN-

What are the benefits of
VITA SUPRINITY?
Prof. Gerwin Arnetzl: Thanks to the good
edge stability, precise final results are
achieved. The firing stability also improves
process reliability. Thanks to the tailored
veneering ceramic VITA VM 11, the highest
demands in terms of esthetics can be met.
Jens Richter, dental technician: The number of steps required in total is also reduced to a minimum, and the material offers superior shade effects.
also be completed in just a few steps, using either the VITA SUPRINITY Polishing
Set, for example, or using standard instruments (Fig. 5).
Jens Richter, dental technician: Be it polishing, glazing or layering – work can be
completed extremely efficiently either
way. I am not a fan of just polishing when
working with this class of materials, however, it is easy to quickly achieve results of
above average quality. The elimination of
liner or washbake firing during the cutback technique also saves time and money.
How does VITA SUPRINITY simplify
processing in practices and laboratories?
Did you notice any particular aspects
of interest during use?
Prof. Gerwin Arnetzl: When I saw the
VITA SUPRINTY blocks for the first time, I
was surprised by their crystal-clear structure. During clinical use it then became
apparent that during try-in in the patient‘s
mouth, for example, the existing tooth
and restoration structures were more
clearly distinguishable as a result.
Jens Richter, dental technician: Despite
the comparatively high proportion of zirconia, the material features a superb chameleon effect. Moreover, the material
also offers an appearance that is so natural, only minor details – at most – require
layering using the cut-back technique. I
also consider the veneering ceramic VITA
VM 11 to be a great success.
How would you judge VITA SUPRINITY in terms of its processing characteristics?
Prof. Gerwin Arnetzl: The ceramic offers
a very homogeneous structure, which
provides the basis for precise and simple
processing despite the comparatively
high strength. High-gloss polishing can

Fig. 5: Surfaces with exceptional shine
can be quickly and easily achieved.
Fig. 4: VITA SUPRINITY restorations are
impressive thanks to natural esthetics.
What are the benefits here in your
view in comparison with conventional glass ceramics such as lithium disilicate, for example?
Prof. Gerwin Arnetzl: In my opinion, the
key benefits of VITA SUPRINITY lie in its
physical and mechanical characteristics.
Accordingly, the new material offers
greater flexural strength, for example, as
demonstrated in laboratory tests.
Jens Richter, dental technician: Processing is easy in many ways. It is clear that
the development of glass ceramics has
reached a new milestone.
Prof. Gerwin Arnetzl: Dental CAD/CAM
technology with its standardized and automated steps in itself makes fabricating
all-ceramic restorations easier. VITA SUPRINITY, on the other hand, was geared
towards computer-aided machine-based
processing using the subtractive milling
technique right from the very beginning,
and is thus perfectly tailored to suit the
CEREC/inLab system.
Jens Richter, dental technician: The glass
ceramic rounds off the range of VITA materials for use with CAD/CAM technology
perfectly, offering the user real added
value.

Fig. 6: Milling preview
The Swiss esthetics specialist
and dental technician Xavier Zahno
(Fig. 1) is one of the first dental technicians in the world to have worked
with the new VITA SUPRINITY glass
ceramic.
Here he presents the zirconia-reinforced
lithium silicate ceramic – ZLS for short
– using a patient case.
Initial situation
The patient is a man in his early forties.
He is troubled by the large number of
fillings in the visible anterior area (Fig.
2).
These are fit for purpose from the perspective of an expert in dental medicine, however, they do compromise the
visual appearance. The patient would
like improved esthetics as well as a
lighter tooth shade.
Planning
From the perspective of a dental technician, restoration of the upper and lower
anterior area would be preferable.
The patient chose to begin with upper-jaw restoration. Accordingly, the
decision was taken to restore regions 13
to 23 using veneers.
VITA SUPRINITY was selected as the
restoration material. The ceramic scores
highly thanks to natural translucency,
fluorescence and opalescence, a combination that comparable products cannot
offer in this form.
Moreover, with VITA VM 11, a special
veneering ceramic is available that is
adapted specifically to VITA SUPRINITY, which also offers high translucency
as well as very warm shade reproduc-
tion. In terms of production costs and
the duration of production, it is an advantage in this respect that a minimum
amount of individualization following
completion of cut-back is sufficient in
order to achieve esthetic results with a
vivid play of colors.
Implementation
The attending dental surgeon creates
conventional impressions. In the laboratory, models are created upon which the
veneers are to be waxed up.
For the model, a laboratory scanner was
used to first take a double scan of the
models with, then without, a wax-up
(Fig. 3 to 6). The veneers were milled
from VITA SUPRINITY blocks in shade
A1 and translucency HT (= highly translucent), see Fig. 7 and 8.
VITA INFO 2.13

At this stage in processing, the material
is still in its pre-crystallized, semi-transparent state.
Cut-back can generally be carried out
prior to crystallization firing. In this
case, however, final crystallization was
completed first as a basis for discussion
with the patient, and try-in carried out
of the fully anatomical veneers (now
tooth colored), see Fig. 9.
Fig. 7: Pre-crystallized VITA SUPRINITY veneers …
As part of the next step, the restorations were reduced for individualization,
in this case the incisal edge and the upper third (Fig. 10 and 11).

VITA SUPRINITY offers excellent milling
results both in its pre-crystallized state
and following final crystallization. VITA

polishing. Figures 15 and 16 show the
completed restorations on the model.
Result

implemented perfectly. The patient is
very happy with the result.

OUR EXPORT EXPERT
Which brings us to your “new” position at VITA: what are your duties in
this role?
Dental technicians and dental surgeons
in more than 150 countries now place
their trust in materials, products and allin-one solutions from Bad Säckingen.
Fig. 1: Erich Daniel (a graduate in business administration) with his wife Nacary and son Kevin in Spain, their
home away from home.
Fig. 2: The new VITA export manager with his
father and son Erich.
A graduate in business administration, Erich Daniel has been the new export manager at VITA Zahnfabrik since
June 1st, 2013. In this interview, he reveals his origins, his goals, and what
makes him unique as a person.
Our sales activities are divided into
three areas: Germany/Austria, the rest
of Europe and – this is where I come in
– all countries outside of Europe (with
the exception of the USA). As export
manager, I am responsible together with
our small, dynamic export team for formulating and implementing our operative and strategic goals.
Mr. Daniel, tell us a little about
yourself!
What experience do you bring to
this role?
Born in 1962 in Caracas, Venezuela,
childhood spent all over the world, German father, Spanish mother, married,
two children, and a salesman with a passion for sales.
I am a conventional business administration graduate, specializing in marketing
and foreign trade. I have been involved
in international sales right from the start
of my career, and so have unfortunately
never had the opportunity to familiarize
myself with the German market.
What do you enjoy most about
your work?
I lived and worked in Peru for four years
and for over three years in Venezuela;
and in China, I helped establish a subsidiary for a German company. Having entered the chemical industry, I worked for
several years in pharmaceuticals, and
most recently spent a good ten years as
the export manager at Lamy, a manufacturer of writing instruments in Heidelberg, Germany.
How do you spend your time when
you aren‘t traveling the world for
VITA?
As a youth, you had already lived in
more countries than most people get
to visit in their entire lifetime. How
come?
My father was a brewmaster, and what
is known as an expatriate, so he was
sent by his employer to work in different
foreign locations. We moved with the
family every three to four years – Latin
America, Europe, Africa.
That obviously has consequences – I‘m
simply far too fond of being on the road
and in this respect also at home in a way
when I am abroad.
VITA INFO 2.13
10
How has your experience been of
VITA so far?
VITA operates in a highly-dynamic sector of the health care market and is an
established, successful player. The
strengths of a family-run company such
as short chains of command, a strong
image, reliability, and solidarity with one
another are also evident. A good choice.
No country in which VITA exports its
products is like any other. Each one presents a new challenge. You are never
bored, that is the real attraction.
My family is then obviously my priority, a
large part of which lives in Spain by the
way. I also love science fiction novels
and enjoy country music as well as any
music from the 1970s.
Thank you for talking to us, Mr. Daniel!

TRADE SHOW HIGHLIGHTS FROM
THE MIDDLE KINGDOM
The China International Dental
Exhibition & Scientific Conference is
to Asia what the International Dental
Show is to Europe. Known as Sinodental for short, it is traditionally the
trade show for dental technology and
dentistry products that attracts the
most visitors.
Fig. 1: Chen Xiaohong (former Deputy Minister at the
Chinese Ministry of Health, left), and Michael
Cheung (Marketing Director at TESCO DENTAL).
Sinodental 2013
Sinodental has become the most important platform for the international dental
industry in the Asian region. This year,
705 companies from 22 countries took
part. As part of the trade fair from June
9th-12th, 2013, the German Federal
Ministry of Economics and Technology
(BMW-i) once again presented a “German
Pavilion“. For the first time, this was accompanied by an exhibition showcasing
the German dental industry, aimed at
drawing attention to the leading role that
it plays in innovation and research. This
year, Germany‘s share of overall participation was around ten percent, with
around a quarter of non-Chinese exhibitors coming from Germany. 40,000 visitors were registered.
Special German exhibition
Sinodental was opened by Chen Xiaohong, Deputy Minister at the time at the
Chinese Ministry of Health (Fig. 1), and
Stefan Kapferer, Secretary of State at the
German Federal Ministry of Economics
and Technology (Fig. 2). Directly afterwards, the latter visited the special German exhibition “Innovation and Research“, which attracted a lot of interest.
Here, the latest processes and products
for dental laboratories and dental practices were presented live in a futuristically
designed, hands-on “Science Lab“.
Stefan Kapferer was visibly impressed.
According to the secretary of state, it is
the fact that medium-sized businesses
are ready to focus on markets abroad that
makes the German economy so strong.
The key factors in its success are its consistent strength of innovation and ultimately the outstanding quality of products “Made in Germany“. Digitalization is
setting the pace in dental technology,
with computer technology supporting
processes from scanning the jaw through
to final restoration.
As a result of continuing improvements in
production processes and materials, restorations are becoming more long-lasting
and more natural in appearance. One example in this respect is the hybrid ceramic VITA ENAMIC. The German politician
learned more about this material during
his tour of the trade show booth set up by
VITA Zahnfabrik‘s Chinese sales partner
TESCO DENTAL.
Fig. 3: Michael Cheung at the event marking the Chinese
market launch of VITA ENAMIC.
Market launch of VITA ENAMIC
At Sinodental, the CAD/CAM restoration
material VITA ENAMIC was officially
launched on the Chinese market as part of
a 3-hour event (Fig. 3 to 5). 300 laboratory
and practice professionals who were in
attendance were provided with further
details as well as comprehensive background information about the innovative
material concept that combines the best
of what ceramic and composite materials
have to offer (Fig. 6). The feedback provided by over a dozen dental technicians and
dental surgeons from all over the world
who had already gained experience at the
time in using VITA ENAMIC (Fig. 7 and 8)
met with particularly strong interest.
Sinodental will take place again in China
from June 9th-12th, 2014 at the National
Convention Center in Beijing.

Fig. 1: Cover of issue 1-2013 of the
CEREC Doctors magazine.
Following the successful launch of
VITA ENAMIC on the German market, this
hybrid ceramic has also won the hearts
and won over the milling machines of
American users.
Around 14,000 Sirona CEREC systems are
installed in American practices – and this
does not include the Sirona in Lab systems in laboratories. Accordingly, there is
considerable interest in innovative new
developments in the area of CAD/CAM
restoration materials. The hybrid ceramic
VITA ENAMIC has enjoyed a fantastic
start in the land of opportunity, with the
experts in the CEREC Doctor community
also among those who have been impressed. This includes Dr. Mark Fleming,
for example, a member of the Mentor
Group who is responsible for the CEREC
Doctors information magazine.
The cover page of the first issue in 2013
shows Dr. Russel Giordano, who explains
the VITA ENAMIC concept that he helped
to develop in an interview included here
Together with Prof. Werner Mörmann,
the father of CAD/CAM technology, Dr.
Robert Kelly from the University of Connecticut, and Dr. John Carson from Tucson, Arizona, both professionals explained the innovative material to their
colleagues, also doing so at events such
as the CEREC Doctors annual meeting in
Scottsdale, Arizona (Fig. 2 and 3). To this
end, a curriculum lasting half a day was
presented, which comprised a live
demonstration of a patient restoration
using VITA ENAMIC – with a community
member as the subject – and a podium
discussion. For the participants, this was
a unique opportunity to speak with not
just one but several of the most important
developers of CAD/CAM materials in the
world. Prof. Mörmann in particular met
with an enormous group of fans who
cheered him almost like a rock star!

Dental technicians and dental surgeons in
more than 150 countries rely on materials, products and all-in-one solutions
from Bad Säckingen. Thanks to an international sales network that is built on
customer proximity, reliable local contacts are available throughout the world.
Our competent partner in North America
is the VITA subsidiary Vident, headquartered in Brea, California. In order to ensure that VITA users everywhere enjoy
the same superior customer care, we
collaborate very closely with all sales
partners.

For this reason, a Vident team comprised
of staff members from application support, marketing, technical support and
continuing education traveled to Bad
Säckingen in January 2013. During their
visit they were thoroughly familiarized
with all VITA ENAMIC technical specifications and were provided with hands-on
training that included staining and glazing
of restorations, for example (Fig. 4).
Presentation at the
Chicago Midwinter Meeting
As a result, it was possible as early as
February 2013 to announce the launch of
VITA ENAMIC during the Chicago Dental
Society (CDS) Midwinter Meeting (Fig. 5).
This year was the first time that Vident
had an exhibition stand of this size, with
the VITA ENAMIC displays providing the
main attraction. They were identical to
those used at the VITA exhibition stand at
the International Dental Show (IDS) in
March 2013 in Cologne, Germany.
Fig. 4: The application specialists Lane Card and Trina Moskal during training in Bad Säckingen.
Other highlights included the “Shade ID“
station, where shade measurements, for
example, were performed using VITA
Easyshade Advance 4.0. Participating visitors to the stand received a personalized
badge with their photo and the result of
the measurement as a souvenir. Vident
expects that in the same way as the innovative hybrid ceramic VITA ENAMIC, the
new glass ceramic VITA SUPRINITY will
also be very well-received by users when
it is launched in North America.

PRACTICAL TIPS FOR PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Gerwin Arnetzl, university
professor.
… that is the motto of the VITA
courses for dental surgeons and dental technicians (Fig. 1). A team of outstanding speakers who understand
what really matters ensure that these
expectations are reliably met.
At the central locations of the VITA
Academy in Langen near Frankfurt am
Main and Bad Säckingen, a varied and
challenging program of events is offered. Examples include practical training programs and courses, as well as
after-business events and other events.
At the same time, regional courses and
workshops are held at 25 locations in
Germany and Austria. In addition, it is
also possible to hold training events directly in laboratories or dental practices.
A highly qualified team of speakers ensures application-based training that is
tailored to the individual participant
structure by didactically adapting it to
suit the knowledge and abilities of the
individual participants. All interested
parties will have the opportunity to get
to know the VITA course instructors
more closely.
Beginning with this issue of VITA Info,
they will be introduced in a series of

VALIDATED LABORATORY PROCESSES
FOR VITA CAD/CAM MATERIALS
New: The hybrid ceramic VITA
ENAMIC
can
be
processed
using Ceramill Motion 2 from
AmannGirrbach as well as the CAD/
CAM systems from KaVo dental
(Fig. 1 to 4).
There are currently 57,651 dentists in
practice in Germany. Using CAD/CAM
systems for chairside applications, they
can process ceramic blanks that have
been pre-colored in accordance with the
tooth shade directly in their practice.
However, it is a fact that firstly, not all
indications can be treated using the
chairside approach, and secondly, only
approx. 7,000 dental practices are
equipped with a milling unit. Any of the
50,000 other dental surgeons who wish
to use all-ceramic prostheses must rely
on the services of a dental laboratory.
Targeted collaborations
The Ceramill Motion 2, KaVo Everest and
KaVo ARCTICA CAD/CAM systems are
tried-and-tested in laboratory use. With
these systems, the dental technician can
avail of validated process chains, meaning that the software and hardware as
well as the tools and materials are tailored to one another. As a result of its pioneering achievements in CAD/CAM
technology, VITA Zahnfabrik is in considerable demand as a competent material
supplier and supports corresponding collaborations with selected partner companies. After all, targeted collaborations
provide the ideal foundation for flexible,
simple and reliable use of VITA CAD/
CAM materials.
New material option
It has already been possible for some
time now to use VITABLOCS Mark II and
TriLuxe forte with Ceramill Motion 2. The
KaVo Everest engine and ARCTICA engine also enable processing of VITABLOCS RealLife and VITA CAD-Temp.
And now since September 2013, VITA
ENAMIC is also available for all three machines. This dental composite material is
suitable for all conventional single-tooth
restorations such as inlays, onlays, veneers and crowns, for restorations subject to high occlusal load (molar area) in
particular, as well as for minimally-invasive restorations. VITA ENAMIC is available in HT (HT = Highly Translucent) and T
(T = Translucent) translucencies, as well
as in the following five VITA SYSTEM
3D-MASTER shades in each case: 0M1,
1M1, 1M2, 2M2 and 3M2. The restorations can be polished using VITA ENAMIC
Polishing Sets or characterized using the
VITA ENAMIC STAINS KIT.
Announcement
By the middle of next year, the zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramic
(ZLS) VITA SUPRINITY will not only be
available for the CEREC/inLab system
from Sirona, but will also support processing using KaVo Everest and ARCTICA
machines as well as using Ceramill Motion 2 from AmannGirrbach.

CONCEPT-BASED PROCESS OPTIMIZATION
Fig. 2: inLab MC XL system from Sirona.
Fig. 3: Patient case solved using VITA VM 9.
There are increasingly fewer dental
technicians, and they are required to fabricate restorations of increasingly superior quality within an increasingly short
time frame. Working under significant
pressure requires efficient production
techniques that deliver reliably reproducible results. This is also true of veneers.
as VITA Mark II. The tools used here to
process these framework materials include the inLab MC XL milling machine
from Sirona (Fig. 2). For individualization
of veneers, VITA VM 9 (Fig. 3) and VITA
VM 13 are used.
A veneering system must meet a number
of requirements in order to reflect current
technological standards: excellent esthetics and perfect surfaces are required.
Simple handling and a reliably reproducible shade concept are also required – regardless of the type of restoration selected, or whether all-ceramic, metal ceramic
or acrylic material is used. Dental technology instructor Vanik Kaufmann-Jinoian of Cera-Tech, based in Liestal,
Switzerland (Fig. 1) has chosen a veneering system that meets all of these requirements: VITA VM.
I do it my way!
Each patient is unique, as are their restorations, but one thing always remains the
same: dental technology instructor Vanik
Kaufmann-Jinoian has developed his own
personal approach that creates a reliable
basis for every veneer – regardless of the
indication or framework material, etc. His
approach to layering is similar to that of
composite materials, in which the shape
of the tooth is fully layered immediately.
Starting at the center, a large quantity of
Base Dentine is applied, followed by
enamel. According to dental technology
instructor Vanik Kaufmann-Jinoian, layering in this way using VITA VM BASIC is
A uniform approach for all VITA VM materials allows him to use standardized processes as well as enabling accurate
shade reproduction.
At the Cera-Tech dental laboratory, 20%
of the restorations fabricated are comprised of metal ceramics. All-ceramic
solutions make up 80% and include zirconia restorations, for example, as well as
those comprising feldspar ceramics such

perfectly sufficient in order to achieve
positive results (Fig. 4) when individualizing crowns and bridges for the posterior
area. He modifies the approach for anterior restorations by also applying smaller
quantities of Transpa Dentine in order to
enhance the effect of depth. To perform
firing, VITA VACUMAT 6000 M is used in
accordance with the instructions of the
manufacturer.
Dental technology instructor Vanik Kaufmann-Jinoian: “A significant benefit of
VITA VM materials is superior handling.
Unlike competitor materials, they remain
moist for longer so that even large-span
restorations can be layered without drying out.“ He requires six minutes just to
perform layering; the high strength of the
materials in particular is an important
prerequisite for fast layering of this kind
(Fig. 5). This Swiss dental professional
summarizes his approach to layering as
follows: “Speed and moisture mean better esthetics!“
Glaze is also applied to each restoration
on completion. The handy new VITA AKZENT Plus GLAZE SPRAY is used for this
purpose (Fig. 6) – and this is not the only
reason why dental technology instructor
Vanik Kaufmann-Jinoian is a fan of the
spray technique.
Fig. 5: The materials are high-strength.

At the touch of a button!
This dental technician believes in efficiency and swears by the VITA SPRAY ON
system (Fig. 7a). That‘s because this innovative tool offers fast, homogeneous and
wafer-thin application of opaquer materials, for example (Fig. 7b), all at the touch
of a button. Initial mixing of material for
the spray technique should be performed
using an ultrasonic unit in order to ensure
effective mixing.
Tip: Artificial fingernails make outstanding templates for this purpose.

firing is recommended as the first step in
order to achieve a secure bond between
the zirconia and the VITA VM 9 material.
Application at Cera-Tech is also carried
out using the VITA SPRAY ON system. It
can be performed using either BASE
DENTINE, CHROMA PLUS or EFFECT
LINER materials. It is also possible to
spray on CHROMA PLUS material in the
neck area in order to achieve a more intensive shade effect with VITA classical
A1–D4 shades.

Conclusion
The VITA VM veneering concept not only
provides the right solution for any indication, it also creates the ideal basis for
allowing all dental technicians to reliably achieve their goal quickly and easily
using their preferred approach.

HOLISTIC DENTISTRY - THE SUCCESS
STORY CONTINUES
tested with regard to sensitizing, inflammatory or allergic responses. Non-biocompatible substances, for example, in
prostheses must be excluded. This requires detailed knowledge on the part of
the dental technician with regard to materials and their constituents.
Fig. 1: Petra Junk, master dental technician
By offering custom biocompatible
prostheses, practices and laboratories can reach new potential customers in the areas of holistic dentistry
and dental technology.
Specialist network
Dental surgeons are required to place exogenous materials in the bodies of their
patients on a permanent basis. Every material can, however, be the trigger for
chronic inflammation. At the same time,
dentists are increasingly dealing with patients who are already suffering from inflammatory conditions. In such cases, the
non-biocompatible materials and sources
of irritation must be specifically identified
in order to prevent further inflammatory
stimuli that could have a negative impact
on the existing condition.
Intolerances are determined by conducting medical laboratory tests on the patient
using heparin blood testing and/or bioenergetic analysis. Individual substances as
well as entire composite materials are

Successfully providing patients who are
predisposed to these difficulties with restorations can be achieved through networking between dental surgeons and
specialists such as the master dental
technician Petra Junk (Fig. 1) who operates the Ceradent dental laboratory. This
professional laboratory is certified in holistic dental technology by the GZM and
the DGUZ, two German professional associations for holistic dental medicine.
She has spent almost 20 years focusing on
the issue of biocompatibility in dental
prosthetics and describes her recipe for
success as follows: “In close collaboration
with a dental surgeon who favors a holistic approach, we fabricate biocompatible
prostheses, the composite materials of
which are tailored specifically according
to each particular individual patient and
their diagnosis. Thanks to our specialization as well as the particular care that we
take in our work – from the selection of
the materials through to the procedures
used during processing – we are a qualified and reliable partner.“
Only the appropriate processing using optimized processing techniques ensures
that a material that is normally biocompatible does not result in further exposure of
the patient due to the production/release
of harmful substances. This includes modern metal processing techniques, as well
as firing based on a holistic concept when
veneering zirconia frameworks, and the
processing of high-performance polymers.

ZrO 2 frameworks, VITA teeth, tested base acrylic and
a large connector comprised of a high-performance
polymer framework.
Risk detected, risk eliminated!
Before the master dental technician Petra
Junk adds a material to her portfolio, she
subjects it to comprehensive investigation
and application testing. She has a particularly watchful eye when new “multi-functional“ materials come onto the market. In
her experience, a broad range of indications is usually achieved by adding synthetic materials that demonstrate the
greatest potential for risk.
The goal of holistic dental technology is to
limit the use of exogenous materials as far
as possible, to test these in advance in
terms of their biocompatibility, and to process them in accordance with their individual susceptibility.
It is important for the dental technician to
be able to rely on the manufacturer to provide a consistently high level of material
quality that is tested on an ongoing basis.

In the experience of the master dental
technician Petra Junk, the materials supplied by VITA Zahnfabrik are more suitable
than competitor products for patients who
are predisposed to these difficulties. Examples of this include:
•The veneering ceramic VITA VM 9 (Fig.
2 and 3) is comprised exclusively of na tural materials and does not contain
any synthetic additives

contain methyl methacrylate (MMA)
•The VITA CAD-Temp composite blanks
do not contain MMA either and facilitate
particularly hypoallergenic long-term temporaries

90 YEARS OF INNOVATION!
VITA Zahnfabrik was founded on
July 17th, 1924, and has since consistently advanced the cause of
dentistry …
What began in 1924 as the vision of one
man has developed in the meantime into
one of the leading companies internationally in the dental industry. For generations, VITA Zahnfabrik has stood for pioneering innovation and continued
progress. As a family-run company with a
long history, we also guarantee dependability and reliability.
Our focus at VITA has always been on the
needs and requirements of dental technicians, dental surgeons and patients – and
to meet these needs only with products
that offer quality above and beyond any
conventional standards. With this in
Looking back
The upcoming 90th anniversary is a good
opportunity to pause and reflect. One of
the earliest major milestones in the company history was the development of the
first VITA dental ceramic for the fabrication of custom dentures in 1930. And
since 2003, dental technicians around the
world have been benefiting from the uniform VITA VM concept for ceramics and
acrylics. The vacuum-fired ceramic teeth
VITA LUMIN VACUUM were introduced in
1956.
Since 2001, the dental world has benefited from acrylic teeth with convincingly
natural characteristics in the shape of
VITA PHYSIODENS. Even today, the VITAPAN classical A1–D4 shade system introduced in 1983 remains an international
benchmark. It was joined in 1998 by the
VITA SYSTEM 3D-MASTER system – and
since 2008, the VITA Linearguide
3D-MASTER and VITA Easyshade Compact have been making precise determination of the correct tooth shade even
easier.
Yet another highlight is the premium ceramic furnace VITA VACUMAT 6000 M,
which was launched for the first time in
2009 together with the VITA vPad control
unit that is available in three different
models. VITA has also always been a pioneer in CAD/CAM technology. The introduction of VITA InCeram YZ pre-sintered
zirconia blanks for the fabrication of
all-ceramic crowns and bridges in 2002
as well as the launch of VITABLOCS RealLife with its three-dimensional block
structure comprising a dentin core and
enamel shell in 2010 are just some examples. More recently, VITA has once again
lived up to its reputation as a trend setter
with the development of the hybrid ceramic VITA ENAMIC and the new glass
ceramic VITA SUPRINITY.
Going forward
While a lot has changed in the last 90
years in the world of dentistry, one thing
remains the same – the reliability of VITA
Zahnfabrik. And dental technicians and
dental surgeons throughout the world can
continue to rely on us. We may not be
able to predict the future but we can play
a crucial role in shaping it!
