VITA has added new shades to its VITABLOCS CAD/CAM block, as well as introduce new eco-friendly product packaging.
To mark its 100th anniversary, VITA has added new shades to 2 of its top CAD/CAM block lines: VITABLOCS® TriLuxe forte and VITABLOCS® Mark II. These new options offer dental professionals more flexibility in color matching for restorations, according to a press release from VITA.
VITABLOCS TriLuxe forte now includes 9 VITA classical A1-D4® shades, with 5 new additions: B1, B2, B3, C2, and C3. The blocks feature a 4-layer gradient to mimic the natural color variations of teeth, allowing for quick, single-session treatments. Known for their fine structure, they are reportedly easy to mill polish, with proven durability according to clinical studies. VITABLOCS Mark II has also expanded to include the shade B1C, adding to its existing range. This fine-particle ceramic block, which closely matches natural enamel in translucency and wear, has been used in over 20 million restorations.
In addition to the product updates, VITA has introduced new eco-friendly packaging. The CAD/CAM blocks will now come in standardized folding boxes, reducing the use of foam and plastic. Instructions will be accessible via QR code. For disc packaging, plastic and foam have been replaced by sustainable cardboard and molded fiber inserts, per the press release.
