Available in two levels of translucency and five Vita system 3D-Master shades, it’s a cutting-edge restorative material.

A CAD/CAM substitute for traditional PFM, Enamic® can be used for anterior and posterior crowns, crowns over implants and bridges of up to fourteen units. The superior reliability of VITA ENAMIC®, as well as its precision, edge stability and corresponding milling accuracy are also excellent features. Finally, this tooth-colored hybrid material offers material properties that are almost identical to those of natural teeth, ensuring a natural play of colors thanks to its excellent light conductivity.
