rely on both the desired shape and the precise shade in the VITA
shade standards. As a result, it is the material of choice for den-
tal technicians with less experience.
How has VITA LUMEX AC changed the work process
Q. in general? What advantages does the veneering
ceramic offer for beginners?
With VITA LUMEX AC, the workflow has become much more
efficient, especially for widespan work on four or six implants.
Overall, the working time for layering, finishing and polishing
has been significantly reduced, thanks to firing stability, thin lay-
ers and ceramic homogeneity. The predictability of the firing
results also makes it easier to plan delivery of the dentures.

What has been your experience so far with this
Q. implant prosthetic form of restoration? What kind
of feedback have you received from your clients?
Our experiences with VITA LUMEX AC have been consistently
positive for a year now and we are completely satisfied with the
handling in the laboratory and with the feedback from our
clients. Especially when it comes to implant prosthetics, the
veneering ceramic in combination with titanium frameworks has
made our work much more predictable, reproducible and pro-
ductive. The advantages of veneering ceramics comes into play
