0ver 80 years of competent management

Shade management is more than just shade determination. At VITA, shade
management means taking responsibility for finding even better solutions and
incorporating these into a complete process. That is VITA's key objective:
How can we improve shade determination and reproduction? This is possible
through standardized process steps for increased efficiency. The challenge to
the dental professional today is to achieve better results while spending less
time and money. It is this goal that brings us together.

VITA shade taking

The unmistakable determination of the basic shade of a tooth is the key
prerequisite for patient acceptance. The basic shade is found in the dentine
center (central to gingival area).

Determining the shade effects

Each natural tooth is a unique miracle of nature, so once the basic shade
has been determined, it is important to establish the detail of the tooth,
e.g. translucent areas or anomalies, in order to make the reproduction as
similar to the natural tooth as possible. We recommend taking a digital
photo in order to analyze the shade effects and details.

VITA shade communication

To ensure perfect reproduction of the tooth shade, it is equally as important
to ensure that the shade is communicated accurately to the dental laboratory
as it is to actually determine the shade, as any misunderstanding leads to
expensive and unnecessary extra work. For this reason we recommend using
the color communication form and a digital photo for the effects and details.
The VITA Easyshade software contains a template that enables you to
accumulate all the data on one sheet of paper, like a shade recipe for the
laboratory. Armed with this information, your dental technician can reliably
and quickly create a restoration that matches the remaining teeth perfectly.

VITA shade reproduction

The most important step in reproducing a tooth shade is ensuring that once
determined, the basic tooth shade is accurately reproduced. Then the shade
effects of the tooth can be cleverly reproduced in order to produce a high-quality
restoration. As a dental technician, you can rest assured that whichever VITA
materials you choose, you will be able to achieve these two things without
any tedious mixing or testing.

VITA shade control

The last step in the VITA process is the qualitative shade evaluation of the
restoration. An objective check of the result of shade reproduction is the most
important prerequisite for ensuring satisfied patients and avoiding remedial
work. For VITAVM CC, shade control is carried out with the VITA Toothguide
or the VITA LINEARGUIDE 3D-MASTER.

Data - Facts

Material properties - advantages

The selection of premium quality raw materials and their
careful processing result in the outstanding material
properties of VITAVM CC.
Particularly the excellent mixing properties and the superb
flow characteristics permit fast and efficient working.
Easy polishability and a homogenous material structure
greatly inhibit plaque accumulation. The smooth surface
of the temporary restoration makes it pleasant and very
comfortable for the patient to wear.

VITAVM®CC offers the following

additional advantages:

• Sufficient processing time

• Considerably reduced material wear

• Excellent material stability, hence reduced risk of
fracture thanks to perfectly matched flexural strength
and modulus of elasticity

• Higher color stability than comparable systems

• Bubble-free curing, with and without pressure pot

Polymerizing in the pressure pot (recommended)

Polymerization time: 10 minutes
Water temperature: 40 °C
Pressure: 2 – 2.5 bar

Applications

VITAVM CC is a filler-free cold-curing resin.
It is the ideal material for the fabrication of indirect
temporary restorations.

The temporary restoration is an essential element within
the treatment process of patients with fixed dental
restorations. Basically, it serves to protect prepared teeth
and to temporarily restore the esthetic appearance and
the function. If used correctly, however, the material
offers additional benefits: the use of the temporary
restoration allows the technician to plan and contour
the final restoration in a perfect manner. Especially in
cases of anterior restorations, dentist and dental technician
are able to perform esthetic, phonetic and functional
corrections already during the fabrication of the temporary
restoration. Furthermore, patients will accept the new
restoration more readily since they have time to become
familiar with the new situation after wearing the
temporary restoration for a certain period.
VITAVM CC plays a key role in all these aspects. It means
that the patient can have natural esthetics from the
temporary restoration stage onwards.

Indications:

• Fabrication of temporary crowns and bridges

• Cementation of VITA acrylic teeth,
e.g. on model casting prostheses

• Repairs

• Covering of attachments in combined restorations

Contraindication:

• Definitive veneers

Note: The light-curing opaque material VITAVM LC

OPAQUE is recommended for covering metal frameworks.

Note: For long-term temporary restorations with or

without metal substructure the use of VITAVM LC is
recommended..

BASIC layering

VITAVM CC BASE DENTINE VITAVM CC ENAMEL

The VITAVM CC BASIC layering consists of two material
layers: BASE DENTINE and ENAMEL.

With only two layers the user can achieve a natural
looking temporary restoration. For optimum shade
reproduction and to ensure sufficient stability, a
minimum layer thickness of 0.5 mm should be ensured.

6

BASIC layering – Temporary restoration

Modeling the wax-up

The wax-up is the basis of the temporary restoration. The tooth mould that is
modelled should be identical with the planned restoration to be able to check
the esthetics and the function in the mouth using the temporary restoration.
The function can already be checked and adjusted in the articulator with the
wax-up.
When fabricating bridges, the connector areas between the crowns and the
bridge units should be as large as possible.

Note: A model featuring a similar anatomy provides a useful basis for

the wax-up to transfer the typical characteristics of the respective tooth
shape. A working model without sawcuts is recommended.

Prepare a silicone key for casting later on.

A very precise silicone which features sufficient hardness and
dimensional stability should be used.

Carefully remove the silicone and remove the wax by boiling it off.

Blow the model dry and block out undercuts with wax.

Then soak the model for 5 minutes and wet with a sufficient quantity
of a low-viscous plaster-resin separating liquid (alginate liquid).
Alternatively, VITAVM LC SEPARATOR can be used. Adhere to the
working instructions.

Note: applied spacer varnish can be partially dissolved

by the VITAVM CC material.

Reduce the palatal silicone key using a scalpel and cut in the feeder sprues.
For casting, attach the silicone key firmly to the model with VITAVM CC.

BASIC layering – Temporary restoration

Mixing

Powder and liquid are mixed in a silicone cup.
VITAVM CC must be mixed in order to obtain a liquid consistency.
Depending on the room temperature, more or less LIQUID
needs to be used for mixing.

Mixing ratio:

A large measuring scoop of VITAVM CC powder (approx. 0.23 g)
is mixed with 4 drops (approx. 0.13 g) VITAVM CC LIQUID. (reference value)

VITA VM CC is classed as a hazardous substance.
Please heed instructions on p. 14.

The mixture has a doughy consistency after it has been stirred
evenly and can be processed after an adequate swelling
time (approx. 1 minute).
The processing time span is 4 - 5 minutes depending on the
room temperature.

If the correct mixing ratio is adhered to and the mixture is
evenly stirred with the instrument at the
bottom of the mixing cup, smears and bubbles
can be avoided.

Pour the prepared VITAVM CC BASE DENTINE
into the silicone key.

8

BASIC layering – Temporary restoration

Polymerization:

Polymerization in the pressure pot results in enhanced material
properties and is recommended; for hardening VITAVM CC,
however, it is not necessary.

Polymerization in the pressure pot:

40°C water temperature,
2 - 2.5 bar pressure, 10 minutes

To obtain space for the enamel, the BASE DENTINE
needs to be cut back according to the layering pattern.
For this purpose the teeth should be slightly ground in the
incisal area and mamelons should be prepared.
Use cross-cut tungsten carbide burs as abrasive tools.

The silicone key is used for control.

If several polymerization processes are used to build up the restoration,
the surface is ground with tungsten carbide burrs (15,000 rpm)...

... and wetted subsequently with VITA VM CC LIQUID.
Apply the material to be added with an instrument and polymerize.

Then wet the BASE DENTINE with LIQUID.
Use an instrument to apply some of the prepared ENAMEL material to
the reduced bridge and some material into the labial half of the key.

9

BASIC layering – Temporary restoration

Position the key exactly at the model and remove excess material.
Affix the key firmly to the model.

Polymerize subsequently.
(see the processing information on page 8).

Finishing and corrections to the contour can be made using
tungsten carbide burs at a speed of 15,000 rpm.

Then prepolish the restoration.

The final high-lustre polishing is achieved with a cotton or leather
buff at a speed of 5,000 rpm.

Place the temporary restoration onto the saw model.
