| By guiding light into the substructure, dental technicians are able to utilise the kaleidoscopic effects of natural teeth under varying light conditions |  |
| The Vita In-Ceram substructure allows the incoming light to fall evenly on the whole tooth, from crown to root, intensifying its natural luminescence and vitality. |  |
| Under the most diverse light conditions, Vita Alpha Porcelain replicas display optical characteristics closely resembling those of natural teeth.Possessing a natural opalescence, they reveal the warm orange glow of a natural tooth in trans-illumination and the clear, radiant blue of a natural tooth in reflected light |  |
| A common feature of natural teeth are the yellow-brown discolourations in the dentine and neck areas. These are complimented by a pink effect found in young teeth. Such phenomena form the basis for the newly developed DENTINE MODIFIERS, allowing exact characterisations in these areas. |  |
