Description

Vita VM9 Effect Chroma is a refractory feldspar ceramic with a fine structure, precisely matched in CTE to ZrO₂ frameworks (approximately 10.5 x 10⁻⁶K⁻¹), ensuring an optimum bond. It is also suitable for restorations made of Vitablocs and PM9, and can be individually customised using Vita Akzent Plus and Interno stains. Classified as a Class IIa medical device, Vita VM9 Effect Chroma offers dental laboratories a reliable, high-performance ceramic material for adding targeted chroma and light effects during restoration work.

This ceramic delivers a natural shade effect and light dynamics, supported by optimal physical properties thanks to its fine structure. An excellent bond ensures reliable results and long-term success, while minimal shrinkage behaviour helps reduce complications during ceramic firing. Excellent modelling properties allow for fast, targeted application of the ceramic, and outstanding grinding and polishing properties support a smooth, refined finish. Homogeneous, closed surfaces offer high plaque resistance, and an extensive range of add-on materials enables excellent light-optical effects for natural, aesthetic results.

Physical data: CTE 9.0–9.2 x 10⁻⁶K⁻¹ (25–500°C); firing temperature 910°C (1st dentine); transformation temperature approx. 600°C; flexural strength (3-point) approx. 100 MPa; acid solubility approx. 10 µg/cm²; mean grain size approx. 18µm.
