Rely On Us - January/February 2018 - 8

Making patients happy:
Can VITA ENAMIC increase patient satisfaction?
In medicine, the term "compliance" describes the objective of achieving cooperative patient behavior in the context of therapy.
Compliance is therefore a key element for the success of therapy and patient satisfaction. However, it is a major challenge
making patients with their high expectations happy. Dentists report on how hybrid ceramics, with its special properties can
contribute to making patients happy in the following interview.

What do your patients say about restorations made of VITA ENAMIC, and how do they evaluate them,
especially with regard to the intraoral wearing comfort of the hybrid ceramics?
Dr. Michael Maier: My patients are usually very satisfied with the restorations made from hybrid ceramic. The restorations not
only blend in well with the overall oral appearance, but also cannot be distinguished from the natural tooth substance. The
wearing comfort is therefore evaluated very positively. So far, not one of my patients with a VITA ENAMIC restoration has yet
reported about a "foreign body sensation" when chewing.

Are there patient groups who react especially positively to reconstructions of hybrid ceramics,
and if yes, why?
Dr. Michael Maier: Thanks to the inert elasticity of the material, masticatory forces are partially absorbed by the hybrid
ceramics, so that the natural (residual) tooth substance can be partly "protected" by the "shock absorbing effect."
This seems to be especially advantageous for patients with parafunctions such as bruxism. The shock absorbing properties
allow us to expect that they would be suitable for implant-supported restorations as well, to which patients will certainly react
positively.

What makes your patients happy, and how can you
support a CAD/CAM material like VITA ENAMIC
with its special properties?

Dr. Dirk Ostermann: Patients usually do not want dental
treatment, but when it becomes necessary, it should be
taken care of comfortably and as quickly as possible, and
the result should also be durable for the long term. The
CEREC technology, in combination with high-quality materials,
makes this possible. Thanks to special properties, the hybrid
ceramic offers advantages such as an efficient processability,
high durability and an antagonistfriendly abrasion behavior.

How important to your patients is a restorative treatment within one session, and what kind of advantage does the hybrid
ceramic bring to you in this regard?
Dr. Dirk Ostermann: Patients like to leave the dentist's office
as quickly as possible, so chairside therapy in one session is a
very important criterion for most. For greater loads in the lateral
region, high-strength glass ceramics have been widely used up
to now, which usually requires crystallization firing and therefore
often requires a second appointment. In this case, the hybrid
ceramic is a modern material alternative that is highly durable
and still quick to process!
