VITA PM™9 is based on the fine-structure ceramic VITAVM®9, and is used for pressing to yttrium-stabilized ZrO2 frameworks in the CTE range of 10.4 – 10.6 x 10-6, such as VITA In-Ceram YZ and other zirconium oxide substructure materials for natural looking high-strength anterior and posterior crowns and bridges.
VITA PM 9 may also be pressed without the support of a zirconium substructure for the fabrication of single or multi-surface inlays, onlays, partial crowns, veneers, and anterior crowns using the staining/glazing or layering technique.
Restorations made from PM9 can be easily characterized using the layering technique with the entire range of VM9 ceramic materials or individualized (using the staining technique) with VITA Akzent or VITA Shading Paste stains.Each of the twenty shaded pellets in the system is available in two levels of translucency and can be stained/glazed, or modified using the powders in the VITAVM9 porcelain system.
