VITA Expands AMBRIA® Range with New Medium Opacity Shades

VITA has announced an expansion of its widely acclaimed VITA AMBRIA® product line. The introduction of new medium opacity pellet shades aims to provide dental professionals with enhanced flexibility and precision in crafting aesthetic restorations.

Broadening the Spectrum of Shade Options

The VITA AMBRIA® line, known for its zirconia-reinforced lithium disilicate press ceramics, has been a cornerstone of dental laboratories worldwide. With this latest update, the portfolio now boasts an impressive array of 16 VITA classical A1-D4® tooth shades and 29 VITA SYSTEM 3D-MASTER® shades. The addition of three new medium opacity (MO) pellet shades in 2024 marks a strategic response to the evolving needs of dental practitioners.

“The new MO pellets offer a natural effect with full coverage, making them ideal for veneers and crowns with a light target shade,” states a VITA spokesperson. This development is particularly significant for cases involving discoloured dies or titanium abutments, where masking is crucial.

Introducing the New Medium Opacity Shades

The three new additions to the VITA AMBRIA® family are:

1. MO-0: Opaque whitish
2. MO-1: Opaque yellowish
3. MO-2: Opaque reddish

These carefully curated shades are designed to bridge the gap between aesthetics and functionality, offering dentists more nuanced options for their restorative work.

Setting New Standards in Dental Aesthetics

VITA AMBRIA® has long been celebrated for its reliable results and impressive shade fidelity. The easy polishing and finishing properties have made it a top choice for aesthetic restorations. However, what truly sets this product apart is its innovative approach to translucency.

“The outstanding aesthetics and ability to adjust the degree of translucency using the pressing temperature set a new standard for natural and lifelike restorations,” explains a dental technician familiar with the product. This feature allows for unprecedented customisation, enabling professionals to mimic the complex optical properties of natural teeth more closely than ever before.

Legacy of Innovation

VITA’s latest offering is a testament to its longstanding commitment to innovation in dental products. The company is renowned for pioneering advancements in tooth shade determination, having developed the world-famous VITA classical® A1-D4 shade guide and the proprietary VITA SYSTEM 3D-MASTER®—the first comprehensive system covering the complete range of natural tooth shades.

From premium denture teeth and veneering materials to digital shade measurement, furnaces, and CAD/CAM restorations, VITA continues to empower laboratory technicians and clinicians. Their goal remains consistent: delivering high-quality, aesthetic results to patients efficiently.

As dental aesthetics continue to evolve, driven by patient expectations and technological advancements, VITA’s expansion of the AMBRIA® line signifies a proactive step towards meeting these changing demands. The new medium opacity shades are poised to become an integral part of many dental professionals’ toolkits, offering a blend of versatility and precision.

While the long-term impact of these new shades will unfold in dental practices across the globe, initial reactions from the industry have been overwhelmingly positive. As one dental professional puts it, “VITA has once again demonstrated why they are at the forefront of dental materials. These new shades give us the freedom to tackle complex cases with confidence.”
