VITA VM®13
UPDATE: VITA VM®9 and VM®13 now available in VITA 3D-Master AND VITA Classical Shades
“While the VITA 3D-Master shade system remains the only consistent, scientifically-based shading system based on the three scientific principles of value, chroma and hue,” said Bernie Jaroslow, senior product manager at Vident, “the addition of the VITA Classical shades will enable Vident to provide laboratories throughout North America with porcelains that satisfy all of the worldís most popular shades.”
VITA VM®13 ceramic veneering porcelain offers outstanding physical properties, handling characteristics and, due to the homogeneous distribution of both glass phases in the fine microstructure, clinical wear characteristics that mimic those of enamel.
VM 13 has a CTE of 13.1-13.6 and is ideal for veneering metal frameworks that have a coefficient of thermal expansion in the range of 13.8-15.2.
The revolutionary formulation of VITAVM®13:
- Extraordinarily kind to antagonistic dentition.
- Optimum firing stability, which preserves shades even after several firings.
- Low firing temperature and reduced shrinkage.
- Excellent shade cover with the new higher chroma, higher opacity Base Dentines

Dental ceramists will marvel at its modeling characteristics and its structural and color stability through its firing cycles. Grinding and polishing has been made easier and more effective than most other porcelain systems. The esthetic build-up technique has been improved over historical systems by introducing a simpler, more logical approach to shading/layering. Modifiers include Effect Opaques, Effect (tinted) enamels, Mamelons, Gingivas, Effect Pearls and Opal Translucent powders.
