Nowadays, if you want to arrive at your destination safely – whether you're driving a car or on foot – you're likely to rely on a navigation system. And it is exactly according to this principle that VITA Zahnfabrik offers a new support service on its website: The program – called "VITA ToothFinder" – makes it easier for you to select just the right anterior and posterior teeth for removable full and partial prosthetic restorations. Step by step, users navigate their way confidently to the appropriate sets. The system is extraordinarily user-friendly, guiding you through the VITA tooth concept directly to your goal.
In the first step, the user selects the optimal anterior tooth line from the three product lines available. The range extends from VITA PHYSIODENS, the full anatomic anterior crown, to the unparalleled classic VITAPAN which will be offered with optimized anatomy and layering as VITAPAN PLUS starting in April 2012. Once an anterior tooth line is decided on, the system – by explaining the different configuration concepts – guides the user to the choice of a functionally appropriate posterior tooth line: Either VITA PHYSIODENS with anatomically accurate occlusal surfaces, VITA LINGOFORM with anatomically pre-abraded occlusal surfaces, VITAPAN CUSPIFORM with narrow, semi-anatomical occlusal surfaces or VITAPAN SYNOFORM for occlusal surfaces with abraded occlusal surfaces. In addition, the user will find detailed explanations about VITA MRP, the microfiller reinforced polyacrylic material used successfully over a million times. This web-based program is rounded off by featuring further information on subject-specific courses and instruments, including an option to download brochures and mold charts.
