VITA AKZENT® LC, a revolutionary light-curing stain and glaze system, has garnered significant attention for its simple, yet effective reproduction of vivid shade effects and reliable shade modification. And this year, the product was nominated by industry peers and selected as a “Game Changing Product of the Year.” That’s no small feat when considering the thousands of dental service products out on the market today.

Each year, Inside Dental Technology has its editorial advisory board nominate and vote for products that have changed the way the industry practices dentistry. According to IDT, the winning products “demonstrate superior innovation and potential for bringing change to the industry.” VITA is proud to announce that VITA AKZENT LC was included in that illustrious field. The peer-elected honor was announced in November 2022.

Dr. Daniel Vasquez, DDS, an esthetic dentist in Carlsbad, Calif. has spent years sharing his successful techniques with industry professionals around the world. But finding the right combination of products to achieve both durability and beautiful esthetics has been challenging. One of his first-line products is VITA AKZENT LC. He finds it simple to work with and easy to apply. “I practice esthetic dentistry, not cosmetic dentistry; that means I copy mother nature,” says Vasquez. “I can make any restoration look as beautiful as a natural tooth, and the most beautiful reward is seeing the big smiles on patients’ faces. Recently I have been 3D printing crowns and using the new VITA AKZEN LC composite stains on them.”

The system is ideal for characterizing all indirect restorations made of composite and polymer, and for the extraoral characterization of restorations made of hybrid ceramics, CAD/CAM and veneering composites and acrylic dentures. The wide range of CHROMA and EFFECT stains enable precise effect reproduction and reliable shade modification. “It comes in so many nice colors, and they blend well,” explains Vasquez. “It also works great for characterizing VITA ENAMIC® hybrid ceramic crowns.” The system offers good wear and resistance to discoloration, creating durable restorations with consistently brilliant shade rendering and high gloss stability. Perfectly matched system components like brushes, mixing pallets and cleaning liquids enable reliable processing.
