Boris Jovanovic

Boris Jovanovic (Belgrade, Serbia) was satisfied with the lifelike nature of VITA MFT prefabricated teeth, but he did not like the way the
denture base looked. For this reason, he was interested in learning everything about the different types of mucogingival anatomy, so he could
reproduce it naturally in his partial and full denture work. He analyzed countless intraoral photographs to internalize the anatomical features
and also studied a large amount of professional literature to explore the anatomical structure from the inside out. He then experimented
for years in order to transform his findings into wax. Today he has developed his own procedure for quickly and accurately creating the red
esthetics in wax. To do this, he works with instruments which he has modified to meet his needs. In the following interview, he gives rare
insights into his art and explains why the VITA MFT fits his mucogingival reproductions so well.
