Ceramic dental material LUMEX® UNIQUE

titaniumzirconium dioxidelithium disilicate

Product information
Transforms monolithic restorations into highly aesthetic results. The ready-to-use liquid ceramic VITA LUMEX UNIQUE enables three-dimensional characterization and fast, ultra-thin microlayering on zirconium dioxide, lithium disilicate and feldspar ceramics. The material allows immediate visual control of shape, shade and effects, which remain unchanged after firing.

Key benefits

• Easy handling: Shape, shade and effects are immediately visible on application and remain unchanged after firing for predictable results.
• Controlled esthetics: Achieves three-dimensional depth and natural luster on monolithic restorations.
• High flexibility: Flexible consistencies enable fine shade nuances, detailed structures and delicate details for precise 3D characterization and ultra-thin microlayering.

Indications
Esthetic finalization of monolithic restorations made of (CTE-range approx. 9.0 to 10.5 × 10-6 K-1*):

• Zirconium dioxide
• Lithium disilicate
• Feldspar ceramics

Characterization of partial and full ceramic veneering with suitable dental veneering ceramics** on the following framework materials (CTE-range approx. 9.0 to 10.5 × 10-6 K-1):

• Zirconium dioxide (partially and fully veneered, e.g., with VITA LUMEX AC)
• Lithium disilicate (fully veneered, e.g., with VITA LUMEX AC)
• Titanium (Grade 1–5) (fully veneered, e.g., with VITA LUMEX AC)
• Feldspar ceramics (partially veneered, e.g., with VITA LUMEX AC)

Notes / References
* According to ISO 6872, the CTE range is subject to a possible deviation of up to ± 0.5 × 10-6 K-1.
** See document: No. 10887 VITA LUMEX UNIQUE – approved veneering ceramics for approved veneering ceramics.
