VITA AKZENT Plus Finishing Paste – Professional ceramic finishing paste
VITA AKZENT Plus Finishing Paste is a fluorescent ceramic glaze paste from the Akzent Plus (VITA) range.
- It is designed for the characterization and finishing of dental ceramic restorations, providing a final aesthetic and protective touch.
- Used as a final layer before firing, this finishing paste ensures a smooth and sealed surface on crowns, bridges, veneers or other ceramic prostheses.
- Its use allows for an optimal result while improving the durability of the restoration thanks to a reinforced surface and resistance to wear.
Indications for use Finishing Paste Akzent:
VITA AKZENT Plus Finishing Paste can be used in many situations in ceramic prosthetics:
- Universal compatibility: Suitable for all dental ceramics, whether feldspathic ceramics, monolithic zirconia, metal-ceramic, regardless of the coefficient of expansion (CTE) of the material.
- This means that this paste can be applied to most ceramic restorations (inlays/onlays, crowns, veneers, bridges) without risk of incompatibility.
- Internal colorings and external makeups: Suitable for both internal coloring during laboratory stratification and for superficial characterization (surface makeup) before glaze firing.
- It can be used to adjust the depth of shade or add subtle surface effects to an already fired restoration.
- Natural satin finish: Particularly suitable when a satin surface finish (silky matte effect) is required instead of a traditional high-gloss glaze.
- By providing a slight controlled shine, it allows for a more natural appearance of the enamel, causing an overly artificial shine on the prosthesis.
- Aesthetic shade optimization: Can be used neat or mixed with VITA Akzent Plus stains to correct or slightly intensify the color of a restoration. For example, when mixed with a stain from the range, the finishing paste serves as a neutral support to modulate the chromaticity without overloading the surface. This offers great flexibility for capturing a shade that is too light or too gray when finalizing a clinical case.
Features and benefits Vita Akzent Plus Finishing:
VITA AKZENT Plus Finishing Paste has several advantageous technical characteristics:
- Built-in fluorescence: Its fluorescent composition mimics the behavior of natural enamel under different lights, ensuring that the restoration will look realistic even in UV light.
- This fluorescence property contributes to a harmonious integration of the prosthesis in the oral cavity, particularly alongside natural teeth.
- Silky finish and smooth surface: Once fired, the paste gives the ceramic a silky surface to the touch and visually uniform.
- The resulting layer is compact and sealed, which reinforces the resistance of the restoration against wear, stains and micro-cracks over the long term.
- The result is a fine glaze that combines aesthetics and protection.
Easy application (thixotropic paste): Supplied in the form of a ready-to-use creamy paste, thixotropic properties for precise application with a brush, without dripping.
- The material adheres well to even vertical surfaces, allowing the prosthetic part to be covered simultaneously.
- This simplifies the work of the prosthetist by providing accumulated control during the final makeup.
- Mixing versatility: Finishing Paste can be used as a neutral mixing agent to dilute other stains in the range (e.g. VITA Akzent Plus EFFECT STAINS ), to create more subtle, custom shade effects
By mixing it with a colorant, you get a homogeneous consistency and a softened color, ideal for minor color corrections or more natural gradients.
- Wide firing range: This finishing paste withstands high firing temperatures, generally between 780°C and 950°C , without altering its properties.
- It is therefore easily integrated into the standard firing cycle for dental ceramics.
- Its thermal stability guarantees correct fusion on the surface of the restoration, whether on high temperature zirconia or low fusion ceramics.
Instructions for use of Vita Akzent Plus Finishing Paste.
The use of VITA AKZENT Plus finishing paste is simple and fits into the manufacturing process of the ceramic restoration:
- Restoration Preparation: Ensure the surface of the ceramic restoration is clean and free of dust or contaminants.
- If the piece has been tried in the mouth , degrease it carefully (for example with alcohol) and dry it.
- A clean surface ensures better adhesion of the dough.
- Mixing the paste: Open the Finishing Paste jar and mix the paste with a clean spatula if it will be stored unused for a while (to homogenize the pigments and binder).
- If the consistency seems too thick or slightly dried, add a drop of VITA PASTE FLUID , then mix until you have a creamy, even texture.
- Be careful not to over-dilute (a paste that is too liquid could reduce the shine and effectiveness during cooking) .
Application to the piece: Using a fine brush, apply an even coat of Finishing Paste to the surface of the restoration.
- You can cover the entire surface for an overall satin effect, or apply it selectively to certain areas depending on the desired effect.
- The batter should be spread in a thin, even layer, without excess thickness, to ensure a uniform result after baking. Thanks to its texture, it spreads easily without running.
- Drying and preparing for firing: Allow the surface restoration of the paste to air dry for a few minutes, or place it at the entrance of the oven (door open) to gently evaporate the liquid.
- This drying process prevents the formation of bubbles or surface defects during firing. Once the paste has a matte surface (dry appearance), the piece is ready to be fired.
- Ceramic furnace firing: Place the restoration in the ceramic furnace and start the firing cycle recommended by VITA for the finishing paste.
- Typically, a gradual temperature increase to around 800–820°C is carried out, with a short hold, then controlled cooling.
- Carefully follow the parameters in the VITA instructions to avoid overcooking.
- After firing and complete cooling, remove the piece from the kiln: the ceramic surface will then appear satiny, smooth to the touch and with the desired final shade.
- No further polishing step is necessary, the finish is complete.
VITA AKZENT Plus Finishing Paste is a valuable asset for dental technicians wishing to combine natural aesthetics with protection of the ceramic surface.
Its extensive indications , reliable technical characteristics and simple instructions for use make it a product of choice for optimizing the quality of ceramic restorations.
- Providing a professional, durable and highly aesthetic finish, this finishing paste integrates perfectly into the ceramic staining process for optimized results and a radiantly realistic smile.
