As VITA Zahnfabrik celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2024, through the VITA EXCELLENCE AWARD 2025, VITA Zahnfabrik will honour outstanding prosthetic restorations among its users worldwide.

The VITA EXCELLENCE AWARDS 2025 will focus on work involving the leucite-enhanced, glass-ceramic veneering ceramic VITA LUMEX AC. A jury of five will use the following criteria to evaluate the patient cases that are submitted: aesthetics, function, documentation and preparation work.
The prize is an invitation to IDS 2025 in Cologne and a visit to the VITA exhibition where VITA will cover the travel costs and an onsite overnight hotel stay. The winner will also have the opportunity to present the submitted patient case to a wider audience, and win a 12.9 inch Apple iPad Pro.
As the next generation of veneering ceramics, VITA LUMEX AC offers easy-to-handle and highly aesthetic veneering on ceramic materials such as lithium disilicate, zirconia and feldspar ceramic, as well as on titanium substructures. VITA LUMEX AC can be used for a variety of techniques, including quick and easy micro-veneering, cut-back and full veneering.
Moreover, VITA LUMEX AC aims to provide natural effects and individual aesthetic. Its ceramic materials with outstanding shade fidelity and excellent light dynamics enables reliable reproduction of tooth shades and natural shade and light effects. VITA LUMEX AC also retains its shape even after several firings and also bonds reliably with the substructure. The material is also characterised by minimal material shrinkage, whether using the one-bake technique or a complete dental arch.
The goal of the fourth-generation family business based in southern Germany, remains the pursuit of continuously improved solutions for perfect prosthetics in both function and aesthetics — VITA PERFECT MATCH.
