Porcelain direct comparisons

VMK 95 comparison table
Application	Advantages	Benefits	Vs competition	Competitors of same class
For Crowns and Bridges, and most metal to porcelain bonded work Including high gold content alloys	Easy to use 3 layer build up	Quick and efficient. Very quick build up times available	Similar to competition	Ivoclar IPS, Matchmaker, Ducera, Finesse, Heraglass
	Low contraction of re-fired ceramics	Can be used with most alloys including high GOLD	Is more compatible than most
	No chroma loss after several firings	Can be adjusted safely without loss of colour	Many porcelain start to grey after many firings
	High Flexural strength (85 MPA)	Has high level of flex before breaking hence less likely to have returns for repair	Better than most of its competitors
	Matches 3D shades	3D is the most accurate shade forming system available	No competitor porcelains supports the 3D shade system – but wish they could
	Low price high value	One of the most cost effective porcelains available in the market	Nearly all porcelains have a higher pence per gram cost
	Has a number of additional porcelains available to it	Can differentiate the level of service provided from the lab into different tiers	Similar to others but some others do not have cervical porcelains which gives better depth of shade at the crucial neck area.
	Translucency vs Opaque is ideal	Too much translucency causes lifeless looking teeth. Vita set the standard in this ground	Most competitors are too translucent
	Special Wash Opaque available	Mimmicks warmth (orangy/red colour achieved with yellow golds)	Not available from competition
	Medium Co-efficient of expansion (14-14.4)	Can be used with most alloys	Some are less compatible

Omega 900 comparison table
Application	Advantages	Benefits	Vs competition	Competitors of same class
For Crowns and Bridges, and most metal to porcelain bonded work Can be used for low fusing Bio Compatible alloys (High Gold) and veneer work, inlays etc Warmth in colour achieved through use with Yellow Golds	5 stage build up	The more layers better mimmicks natures layers in teeth therefore a better vitality is achieved.	Better vitality and shade matching than any other porcelain	Ivoclar d.sign, Noritaki, Shofu, Ducera Golden Gate System
	Less contraction in the first dentine firing	Can be used with most alloys including high GOLD	Is more compatible than most
	No contraction or deformation of re-fired porcelains	Easy to work with as less contraction	Some competitor porcelain start to grey after many firings
	No chroma loss after several firings	Can be adjusted safely without loss of colour	Better than most of its competitors
	Very High Flexural strength (101 MPA)	Has very high level of flex before breaking hence less likely to have returns for repair	Highly reliable and good customer satisfaction level
	Matches 3D shades	3D is the most accurate shade forming system available	No competitor porcelains supports the 3D shade system
	Very antagonist friendly (Vickers Hardness 420 HV10) natural enamel is 400-500 HV10	Mimmicks natural enamel perfectly, more customer satisfaction and does not wear opposing teeth.	Has the lowest antagonist level in its class
	Has a number of additional porcelains available to it	Can differentiate the level of service provided from the lab into different tiers	Similar to others but easy to use
	Translucency vs Opaque is ideal	Too much translucency causes lifeless looking teeth. Vita set the standard in this ground	Most competitors are too translucent in this class
	Medium Co-efficient of expansion (13.3-13.9)	Can be used with most alloys	Some are less compatible
