Lecture at the University of Malmö, Sweden on 13.03.2019

On 13.03.2019 a lecture with the topic "Nano-Hybrid Composite and ORMOCERE: Basics and Clinical Cases" took place at the University of Malmö in front of the students of the 10th semester (graduation year). The renowned dentist and VOCO Fellow from Copenhagen, Dr. Eren Cicek, impressively presented these two product groups in his lecture – from the chemical composition to the product properties and daily use in everyday practice.
GrandioSO, a universal composite for the highest demands, served as an example for the nano-hybrid composites. Among other things, Dr. Cicek described the striking combination of functionalized nanoparticles together with special glass ceramics, whereby the enormously high filler content of 89 % by weight can be achieved. From this and also from the low resin content result the excellent properties of GrandioSO, which the students were able to convince themselves of during the presentation of several clinical cases.


The ORMOCER technology was, of course, illustrated using Admira Fusion, the world's first purely ceramic-based nano-hybrid ORMOCER filling material. Dr. Cicek spoke about the innovative combination of the proven nano-hybrid technology with ORMOCER technology and the resulting combination of the advantages of both filling systems. Another area of focus regarding ORMOCERES was placed on the excellent biocompatibility due to the absence of classical monomers. The universal applicability was illustrated and made tangible by means of various clinical cases.


With this lecture, the students had the opportunity to get to know two universally applicable filling materials that meet all requirements, both physically and aesthetically.
