[CoolHandLuke]

who cares?

quite a lot of people care, sir. i for one. as far as i know however, this material is out in europe and later this year it should be cleared by the FDA and Canada for use here in north america.

everyone with a roland or any coritec mill will be wanting to mill it, to shunt its use in cerec machines.

 

[Ryan Gottlieb]

Will it mill on a dry mill?

 

[CoolHandLuke]

no idea. maybe. vita has published so little about it.

 

[cadfan]

Only wet guys ill asked them

 

[ParkwayDental]

It has to be milled wet. They are hoping for FDA approval sometime in April but y'all know how that goes.

I spoke to my Vita rep... she said there was a 'soft release' in Chicago... I'll be getting more info at Technorama in April.

Soft release? Is that the same as Ivoclar did with the Multi Ingot?

this says they made the decision as of jan 31 but i am not sure what any of this means - does it mean we can now use it ?

My Vita rep says there are lawsuits they are fighting with DENTSPLY's celtra or whatever it's called

 

[DevonR]

It's out now! or very soon.. available through Pattersons in Canada. Vita is also making a universal holder for it, thus allowing you to buy direct!

I might be mistaken here, but didn´t Vita and Degudent make this material together? Vita calls it Suprinity, and Degudent calls it Celtra. Maybe they were in a lawsuit with Dentsply because of the name Celtra or something?
Anyway, heard Vita is really pushing this material towards labs and milling centers(press and cad pre-crystallized) while Degudent is going towards dentists with the finished cad-block. Have a few samples of the "blue-state"(even though they´re not blue..),havent had the time to mill them. Wonder if they mill any easier than e.max cad? Anyone tried?

Ivoclar just won the suit againd Denstply. They chose to let Dentsply pay them royalties on the LD technology with Celtra sales instead of shutting them down.

No, sorry. The press release was dated 11/3/14; my IV rep had it on his tablet today. Probably expect official word in a few days.
