VITAVM^®9

Natural fine-structure feldspar veneering ceramic for zirconia frameworks and VITABLOCS Mark II

VITA VM 9 is a highly-esthetic, fine-structure feldspar ceramic that is perfectly adapted to the CTE value of zirconia frameworks (approx. 10.5, e.g. such as VITA YZ) – regardless of whether they are white, colored or translucent.

In addition, you can also use VITA VM 9 for individualizing restorations made from VITABLOCS Mark II.

The main components are pure-grade potash and albite feldspar materials that offer brilliant shade effects as well as optimum physical properties, such as extreme flexural strength values.

Thanks to its homogeneous, compact surface, VITA VM 9 supports outstanding grinding and polishing, particularly in situ. This results in smooth and densely compact surfaces.

Accumulation of plaque on the ceramic surface is significantly reduced, supporting the patient in caring for their high-quality restoration.

VITA VM 9 is a high-quality system component provided by the innovative VITA VM concept – the universal solution for all common indications. Metal-ceramics, all-ceramics or composite: the possibilities are endless!

VITA AKZENT Plus and VITA INTERNO stains are also available for individual finalization.

Comprehensive range of additional materials for excellent photo-optic effects

Tearing

To support the structure, model in reduced tooth size in order to achieve a uniform layer thickness of the ceramic. Ensure cuspal support of the posterior area. Ensure U-shaped modellation of the interdental spaces.

When mixing all ceramic materials ensure that no bubbles are formed. Make sure that the liquid is added to the powder from the side and stir the mixture thoroughly using a glass or agate spatula. The use of metal spatulas can lead to metal abrasion and discoloration of the ceramic.

Keep workplace clean; dust and dirty brush water may cause problems (such as formation of bubbles).

Do not apply insulating (separating) liquids too thickly.

When firing bridges, always separate down to the substructure. Shrinkage of the ceramic always occurs only in the thickest area. Therefore a uniform layer thickness is recommended. Do not use any dry or saw-toothed instruments. The use of these instruments can cause the ceramic to become detached and separated from the surface.

Ensure correct firing parameters and firing temperature. For the muffle test, use a mirror to look into the firing chamber and check whether the muffle is firing properly.

If a rubber polisher is used before the final finishing, the surface must not be wetted with liquid again. It must first be cleaned. It is not sufficient to clean it using a steam cleaner or with water. Silicone residue at the surface must be removed mechanically using a goat-hair brush.

Insulation material residue must not be left on the ceramic surface. Contact with the freshly insulated antagonists (opposing jaw) can lead to problems.

When filling the interdental spaces during bridge correction, do not vibrate the material until dry, otherwise the material will not bond. Interdental spaces should be wetted with an oily liquid (e.g. VITA Interno) before filling.

Bubbles

Use only diamond instruments and a water-cooled turbine
for processing the substructure. Do not apply too much
pressure and use the indicated speed (observe manufacturer's
instructions). Avoid heat development at the
surface during finishing. Do not use finishing instruments
unless necessary. Thermal (heat) treat substructure after
grinding.
When mixing all ceramic materials ensure that no bubbles
are formed. Make sure that the liquid is added to the
powder from the side and stir the mixture thoroughly
using a glass or agate spatula. The use of metal spatulas
must be avoided since it may lead to metal abrasion and
discoloration of the ceramic.
Keep workplace clean; (metal) dust and dirty brush water
may cause problems (such as formation of bubbles).
Insulating liquids must not be applied too thickly.
Ceramic materials should not be mixed with modelling
liquid but with distilled water when remixing them.
It must also be ensured that the mixture is free from
bubbles. A homogeneous moisture level of the layered
ceramic must be achieved. Do not keep re-wetting or
allow it to dry out.
Sandblasting the structure with AL2O3 after the first firing
may cause the formation of bubbles.

Shade too grey / too pale

When mixing all ceramic materials ensure that no bubbles
are formed. Make sure that the liquid is added to the
powder from the side and stir the mixture thoroughly
using a glass or agate spatula. The use of metal spatulas
must be avoided since it may lead to metal abrasion and
discoloration of the ceramic.
Keep workplace clean; dust and dirty brush water may
cause problems (such as formation of bubbles).
Insulating liquids must not be applied too thickly.
Insulation (separating) material residue must not be left
on the ceramic surface. Do not use baby oil or similar
liquids for insulating. Contact with the freshly insulated
antagonists (opposing jaw) can lead to problems.
Firing temperature too high or too low: ensure correct
firing parameters and firing temperature.
Too much TRANSPA DENTINE and/or ENAMEL used.
Not enough BASE DENTINE used.
Veneer thickness insufficient; thickness of the ceramic
layer of ≥0.6 is required to ensure reliable shade
reproduction.
Ceramic materials should not be mixed with modelling
liquid but with distilled water when remixing them.
It must also be ensured that the mixture is free from
bubbles. A homogeneous moisture level of the layered
ceramic must be achieved. Do not keep re-wetting or
allow it to dry out.
Incomplete predry; liquid did not completely evaporate
during firing.

Excellent match with the shade guide but considerable...

...deviation after seating (appears too dark).

A discolored die may be the cause. Therefore the shade
of the die must be checked and the die must be coated
or bleached if necessary. Use of Vita Simulate (prep shade)
material is highly recommended.

Errors during firing

Ensure good marginal adaptation of the materials.
If necessary, use a dry and clean brush to smooth these
areas before firing.
When firing bridges, always separate down to the
substructure in the interdental spaces prior to the first
dentine firing. Shrinkage of the ceramic always occurs in
the thickest area; therefore a uniform layer thickness is
recommended. Do not use any dry and saw-toothed
instruments. These may cause the ceramic to become
detached and separate from the surface of the substructure.
Crown has a "lifeless" appearance or insufficient translucency
(incorrect liquid may have been used).
Crown has a glassy appearance or round edges after
firing: check firing muffle!
Incorrect furnace parameters or defective vacuum pump.
Incorrect predrying; clouding, greyish discoloration.

Are there any special shoulder materials for VITA VM 9?

VITA VM 9 MARGIN materials are available; however,
these materials are only used for minor corrections of
margins.

Can the zirconium oxide substructure be...

...completely sandblasted before it is veneered with VITA VM 9?

No, mechanical surface treatment such as grinding with
diamond instruments and sandblasting may supply hypercritical
quantities of energy to the zirconium oxide substructure,
which may result in deformation of large areas
of the crystal lattice or even in the phase transition of
ZrO2. As a consequence, complex stress can be formed
at the interface of the veneer which may result in the
immediate failure or also in subcritical crack growth and
consequential latent damage to the restoration.
This effect can be detected e.g. by radiographic phase
analysis (fig. 1). Compared with tetragonal ZrO2, monoclinic,
ZrO2 features a lower CTE.

If the zirconium oxide restoration is to be cemented using
a phosphate monomer containing composite
(e.g. PANAVIA), sandblasting of the adhesion surfaces
with AL2O3 (max. 50 μm) at a pressure of ≤ 2.5 bars will
create a permanent bond between the composite and the
oxide ceramic.

Chipping

When modelling the framework, the minimum layer thicknesses should be observed right from the beginning to ensure minimum wall thicknesses of 0.5 mm in the circumferential and 0.7 mm in the occlusal area. Follow manufacturers' instructions concerning the thickness of junctures.

If minor corrections of the substructures need to be performed after sintering, work exclusively with diamonds and a turbine with water cooling. Do not sandblast the outer surfaces. Do not apply too much pressure and use the indicated speed (observe manufacturer's instructions).

Avoid heat development at the surface. Do not use finishing instruments since their binders may adhere to the surface. After grinding, thermal treatment (regeneration firing) is recommended to reverse any phase transitions on the surface. Resulting microcracks cannot be regenerated.

To support the structure, model in reduced tooth size in order to achieve a uniform layer thickness of the ceramic. Ensure cuspal support of the posterior area. Ensure U-shaped modellation of the interdental spaces.

Substructure should exclusively be finished with diamond abrasives and turbine with water cooling. Do not sandblast the outer surfaces. Do not apply too much pressure and use the indicated speed (observe manufacturer's instructions).

To achieve optimum wetting of the ZrO2 surface, we recommend a Base Dentine washbake (alternatively, Transpa Dentine, Chroma Plus, Effect Liner, etc. may also be used). The material must be applied in accordance with the working instructions. To ensure proper melting of the Base Dentine, the correct temperature (+40°C compared to the normal firing temperature) must be kept. The surface needs to exhibit a brilliant appearance.

When preparing a ceramic veneer, a uniform layer thickness across the entire surface to be veneered must be ensured.

Ensure correct firing parameters and firing temperature. A different heat-up rate (for example 45°C per minute), is recommended for large-span bridges and thick bridge units due to the low thermal conductivity.

Ensure correct firing parameters and firing temperature. For checking carry out muffle test with mirror (optimum temperature range: 200 – 300°C).

Grind the surface of the ceramic with diamond abrasives. Avoid developing heat during grinding. When using blunt diamonds, do not increase the grinding pressure but replace the abrasive instrument. When using a turbine, water cooling must always be ensured.

If the restoration needs to be adjusted (ground) when it is tried in, it must be smoothed again. Polishing or glaze firing have proved to be highly suitable.

The entire thickness of the ceramic layer should not exceed 2 mm.

To avoid any residual thermal stress in the veneering material, in particular in large restorations such as large molars, pontics or bridges, we recommend slow cooling down to the transformation temperature of the veneering material (approx. 600°C for VITA VM 9). This should be accomplished during the final firing of the restoration, whether that be a dentine, enamel or glaze firing.

Pinholing in the surface

When mixing all ceramic materials ensure that no bubbles
are formed. Make sure that the liquid is added to the
powder from the side and stir the mixture thoroughly
using a glass or agate spatula. The use of metal spatulas
must be avoided since it may lead to metal abrasion and
discoloration of the ceramic.
Keep workplace clean; dust and dirty brush water may
cause problems (such as formation of bubbles).
Insulating (separating) liquids must not be applied too
thickly.
Ceramics should not be mixed with modelling liquid but
with distilled water when remixing them. It must also be
ensured that the mixture is free from bubbles. A homogeneous
moisture level of the layered ceramic must be
achieved. Do not keep re-wetting or allow it to dry out.
The correction porcelain should not be applied in insufficient
portions. Make sure it does not dry out too
much. If necessary use a liquid which keeps it moist over an extended period.
Avoid frequent removal (suction) and rewetting of the
material; ensure homogeneous moisture level.
Wet ground surfaces before applying ceramic material (do not use oily liquids such as Interno Liquid).

Black specks in the ceramic

When mixing all ceramic materials ensure that no
bubbles are formed. Make sure that the liquid is added to
the powder from the side and stir the mixture thoroughly
using a glass or agate spatula. The use of metal spatulas
must be avoided since it may lead to metal abrasion and
discoloration of the ceramic.
Keep workplace clean; (metal) dust and dirty brush water
may cause problems.
Do not apply insulation (separating) liquids too thick. Do not use baby oil or similar liquids.

with the working instructions to achieve good wetting
of the surface. The required temperature must be adhered
to in order to ensure correct melting of Base Dentine.
When firing bridges, always separate down to the substructure.
Shrinkage of the ceramic always occurs only
in the thickest area. Therefore a uniform layer thickness
is recommended. Do not use any dry or saw-toothed
instruments. The use of these instruments can cause
the ceramic to become detached and separated from
the surface.
Ensure correct firing parameters and firing temperature.
For the muffle test, use a mirror to look into the firing
chamber and check whether the muffle is firing properly.

temperature range: 200 to 300°C).
Insulation (separating) material residue must not be left
on the ceramic surface. Do not use baby oil or similar
liquids for insulating. Contact with the freshly insulated
antagonists (opposing jaw) can lead to problems.
The correction material should not be applied in insufficient
portions. Make sure it does not dry out too
much; if necessary use a liquid which keeps it moist over
an extended period (VITA MODELLING FLUID or add
a drop of VITA Interno Fluid).
Firing temperature too low.
Tip: Carry out WINDOW test
Avoid frequent removal (suction) and rewetting of the
material; ensure homogeneous moisture level.
Incomplete predry; liquid did not completely evaporate
during firing.

Bonding problems - all-ceramic substructure to veneering ceramic

Base dentine washbake must be applied in accordance with the working instructions to achieve good wetting of the surface. The required temperature must be adhered to in order to ensure correct melting of Base Dentine. Recently layered ceramic must not be preheated too quickly or at excessive temperatures.

When filling interdental spaces during bridge correction, do not vibrate the material until dry, otherwise the material will not bond. Interdental spaces should be wetted with an oily liquid (e.g. VITA INTERNO Liquid, do NOT use baby oil) before filling.

What is the purpose/indication range of the VITA VM 9 EFFECT LINER?

VITA VM 9 EFFECT LINER must not be mixed up with
LINER materials of competitors. VITA VM 9 EFFECT LINER
is not used for coloring the zirconium dioxide
substructure.

The EFFECT LINER has demonstrated particularly high
fluorescence and is used to control the fluorescence from
the depth.

Which substructure materials can be veneered with VITA VM 9?

If the information in the working instructions and the
guidelines on substructure fabrication/design provided
by VITA are adhered to, VITAVM 9 can be used for substructures
made from 3Y-TZP (-A) – regardless of the
respective manufacturer. Since the function depends on
a variety of different parameters, the quality of the individual
restoration can only be ensured by the user.

Moreover, VITA VM 9 is perfectly suited for individualizing
all VITABLOCS and PM 9.

What is the purpose of the BASE DENTINE washbake?

The BASE DENTINE washbake is used to achieve good
bonding of the veneering material to the substructure
material.

In the case of bridge pontics - how can the intensity...

...of the COLORING LIQUID be influenced?

The intensity of the COLORING LIQUID can be changed
by applying it with a brush.

Use a brush to wet the substructure with distilled water
and then dip it into COLORING LIQUID to reduce the color
saturation of the substructure.

Marginal shrinkage of the ceramic

Model the substructure to a reduced tooth size to support and ensure a uniform layer thickness of the ceramic. Ensure cuspal support of the posterior area. Ensure U-shaped modellation of the interdental spaces.

Ensure good marginal adaptation of the materials. If necessary, use a dry and clean brush (brush No. 10) to smooth these areas (from incisal to cervical) before firing.

When firing bridges, always separate porcelain down to the substructure in the interdental spaces. Shrinkage of the ceramic always occurs in the thickest area; therefore a uniform layer thickness is recommended. Do not use dry or saw-toothed instruments. These may cause the ceramic to become detached and separate from the surface of the substructure.

If a rubber polisher is used before finishing, the surface must not be wetted with liquid afterwards. It must first be cleaned. It is not sufficient to clean it with a steam cleaner or with water. Silicone residue at the surface must be removed mechanically using a goat-hair brush.

Insulation material (separator) residue must not be left on the ceramic surface. Contact with freshly insulated antagonists (opposing teeth) can lead to problems.
