Multiple indications, including 14-unit bridges with two connected pontics Compatible with all current CAD/CAM systems Suitable for both staining and cut-back/veneering technique with Vintage ZR Smooth transition of shades and translucencies High-end aesthetics, comparable to lithium disilicate Lifelike appearance without any compromise, especially on implants.

Vintage PRO represents a new generation of PFM systems. This innovative leucite-reinforced feldspathic porcelain, based on the high-fusing Vintage systems, is characterised by professional efficiency and aesthetics. The excellent handling of the well-established product lines has been systematically optimised, and its porcelain basis has been combined with new materials – for even greater ease of use, higher safety and firing stability, and naturally opalescent shades. With its firing temperature of approx. 900 °C, Vintage PRO is indicated primarily for veneering nonprecious alloy frameworks, but it can also be used to easily and aesthetically veneer high-gold, reduced-gold or palladium-based PFM alloys. Besides, the system is ideal for use on metal frameworks made by CAD/CAM or sintering. Benefits Professional aesthetics with precise opalescence and fluorescence Easy handling thanks to high stackability during sculpting Perfect adaptation to all conventional PFM alloys True-to-nature shade system reproducing all VITA* Classical shades Customised shade matching with effect porcelains and stains Excellent colour, dimensional and firing stability – even after multiple firing The uncomplicated porcelains of the Vintage PRO system allow both beginners and professionals to achieve maximum aesthetics in a minimum of time.

Universal powder stains and glazes for monolithic restorations and layered ceramics VINTAGE Art Universal stains and glazes give monolithic zirconia and lithium disilicate restorations depth for a lifelike appearance – only by staining, without any layering. The powders can also be mixed with the normal Vintage Art Universal LIQUID to traditionally stain and glaze layered ceramic restorations (2D staining technique). Depending on the substrate, users can choose between fluorescent and non-fluorescent glazing powder. Applications: For traditional staining and glazing of layered ceramic restorations (2D staining technique) For the creation of 3D effects on monolithic restorations (3D staining technique) For all low-fusing layered ceramics, monolithic and veneered zirconia, pressed ceramic frameworks, metal-ceramics and porcelain teeth For producing or processing full or reduced-contour monolithic restorations made by CAD/CAM Usable irrespective of CTE, at firing temperatures of 730 to 850 °C Well-matched to SHOFU´s layered, pressed and CAD/CAM ceramics Indications Vintage Art Universal is intended to be used for shade adjustment of ceramic restorations.
