Vittra APS Unique, Sub-micrometric Universal-chroma Composite

Clinical Overview

Vittra APS Unique is a sub‑micrometric, zirconium‑silicate‑based nano‑hybrid composite featuring FGM’s exclusive APS (Advanced Polymerization System) technology. It delivers a true chameleon effect—automatically mirroring natural tooth shade across the VITA Bleach to D4 spectrum with a single shade, eliminating the need for complex shade selection. It combines high polishability, mechanical strength, and longer workable time under operative light for confident esthetic restorations.

Key Benefits

• Universal‑chroma “chameleon” effect: Adapts to surrounding dentition from Bleach to D4 without shade matching.
• Simplified inventory: One shade for nearly all restorative cases reduces stock and increases clinical efficiency.
• High esthetic and mechanical performance: Excellent polish, shine, flexural strength, and fracture toughness.
• Extended working time under operatory light: Thanks to APS technology’s transparent photoinitiators.
• BPA‑free formulation: Enhances patient safety and aligns with global biocompatibility trends.
• Smart syringe delivery: Ergonomic Smart‑Lock lid and precision tip prevent contamination and waste.

Kit Contents

• 1 × 4 g prefilled syringe of Vittra APS Unique composite
• Smart‑Lock ergonomic cap and dosing tip for precise dispensing

Handling & Polymerization Details

• Incremental technique: Place in 1.0–1.5 mm increments to ensure proper curing and minimize shrinkage.
• Extended working time: APS system maintains handling time even under chair‑light exposure.
• Light curing: Light‑cure each increment per manufacturer guidelines (typically ≥20 sec with ≥450 mW/cm² light).

Indications

• Direct restorations in permanent and deciduous teeth (Classes I–VI)
• Anteroposterior restorations, including veneers, diastema closures, fragment bonding and core build‑ups
• Repairs of existing porcelain or composite restorations, attachments for aligners and minimally invasive restorations
• In cases with darker substrate (e.g. classes I, II, V, VI), recommend layering over an opacifier or dentin composite base before applying Vittra APS Unique.

Instructions for Use

1. Isolate and condition the enamel/dentin per adhesive protocol.
2. Dispense composite using the Smart‑Lock syringe and dosing tip.
3. Place incrementally (1–1.5 mm), sculpt and model each layer.
4. Cure each increment thoroughly per light‑curing guidelines.
5. Finish and polish to high gloss; composite retains polish even under acid challenge.

Summary

Vittra APS Unique (Ref. 55212) from FGM offers a universal-chroma composite solution combining predictable esthetics, robust mechanical properties, and streamlined workflow. With a single shade covering Bleach to D4, BPA‑free safety, and APS technology for extended working time and effective polymerization, this product enhances productivity without compromising outcome.
