VINTAGE PRO

Professional Feldspathic Porcelain System for Metal-Ceramic Work

DESCRIPTION

VINTAGE PRO is SHOFU's professional-grade feldspathic dental porcelain for metal-ceramic crowns and bridges. The full mass system covers the entire layering library — opaque pastes, dentin, body, enamel, color effects, gum, and stains — and pairs reliably with high noble, noble, and base alloy substructures across the most common lab PFM workflows. Available as ready-mix Pastes for predictable application and as traditional powder masses for layered build-up. The 3D Master Shade system gives the lab full control over chroma, value, and translucency without relying entirely on surface stains.

• Professional-grade feldspathic porcelain for metal-ceramic restorations

• Broad alloy compatibility — high noble, noble, and base metal substructures

• Full mass system: opaque paste, opaque powder, opacious dentin, dentin, body, enamel, color effect, gum, stain

• Ready-mix Paste formats for predictable application — no slurry mixing at the bench

• 3D Master Shade system for natural-looking depth without heavy surface staining

• Natural fluorescence and opalescence built into the powder chemistry

• Predictable shade reproduction across multiple firings

Why You'll Love It

Hit shade consistency across multi-unit PFM bridges — VINTAGE PRO's chemistry is engineered for predictability across multiple firings.
Reduce remake rates — balanced thermal behavior reduces porcelain crack and bond-failure events.
Save bench time with the Paste opaque format — no powder-liquid slurry to mix at the bench.
Build natural-looking depth with the 3D Master Shade system — chroma, value, and translucency from the masses themselves, not surface stains.
Stock one porcelain family for the entire PFM workflow — opaque through stain in one matched system.
Walk into aesthetic anterior PFM cases with the full effect color and modifier library — no auxiliary porcelains required.

If You Are Looking For...

If you are looking for a workhorse feldspathic porcelain with a complete mass system — VINTAGE PRO covers every layering need.
If your lab handles a high mix of PFM work across multiple alloy systems — VINTAGE PRO is broadly compatible.
If you want to cut bench time on opaque application — the Paste opaque format eliminates slurry mixing.
If you need natural-looking fluorescence and opalescence built into the porcelain — VINTAGE PRO carries it natively, not as a surface effect.

3D MASTER SHADE CONCEPT

VINTAGE PRO uses a three-dimensional shade concept that builds chroma, value, and translucency from the layered masses themselves rather than depending entirely on surface stains. The result is restorations that read natural under operatory light, daylight, and indoor incandescent light without 'two-dimensional' metallic translucency artifacts that flat-stain workflows can produce.

READY-MIX PASTE OPAQUE

The VINTAGE PRO Paste opaque saves bench time by eliminating the powder-liquid mixing step at the opaque-application stage. The Paste applies cleanly over the metal coping, controls film thickness predictably, and fires to a stable opaque foundation for the layered build-up above.

FULL MASS SYSTEM

Opaque (paste and powder), opacious dentin, dentin, body, enamel, color effect, gum, modifier, and external stain masses give the lab complete layering control. No auxiliary porcelain is needed for any standard PFM indication.

ALLOY COMPATIBILITY

Engineered for high noble, noble, and base metal substructures. Compatible with the most common alloy families used in dental laboratory PFM workflows, including precious-saving base-metal alternatives.

NATURAL FLUORESCENCE AND OPALESCENCE

Built into the powder chemistry — VINTAGE PRO restorations respond correctly under operatory, daylight, and indoor lighting without relying on after-fired surface stains.
