Ceramic restorations should look lifelike in different wavelengths of light. Natural fluorescence is essential for this. As the use of high performance LED blacklight sources becomes more widespread, the risk of visible fluorescence gaps increases. Restorations may appear darker and differ significantly from natural teeth in appearance. VITA Zahnfabrik is now responding decisively to this shift in technology.

Modern 395 nm LED-UV lamps are increasingly replacing the previously common 365 nm black light sources. For dental technicians, this change poses an esthetic challenge, as many ceramic materials only react at 365 nm and show no fluorescence at all at 395 nm. This results in a visible difference between the restoration and the natural tooth. With the new VITA LUMEX UNIQUE POWER FLUO‑GLAZE PASTE VITA Zahnfabrik is presenting a solution that ensures stable, natural-looking fluorescence. The glaze also ensures that esthetic results remain consistent in both the laboratory and the dental practice, regardless of the light source used.
A glaze that fills all the gaps in fluorescence
VITA LUMEX UNIQUE POWER FLUO-GLAZE PASTE has been specially developed to reliably react to light in both the 365 nm and 395 nm wavelength ranges. As a result, the glaze offers esthetic reliability that has been developed under modern testing and laboratory conditions. The glaze produces a uniform fluorescence that mimics natural teeth, which remains stable even under varying UV conditions and plays a key role in creating a harmonious overall effect.
VITA is actively shaping technological change
With the introduction of this innovative glaze, VITA is expanding its portfolio to include a solution that meets the esthetic demands of modern ceramic restorations. For dental technicians who demand the utmost natural appearance in monolithic restorations, microlayering, or minimally invasive restorations, VITA LUMEX UNIQUE POWER FLUO-GLAZE PASTE offers a future-proof foundation for impressive restorative results.
