While aesthetic universal composites have to be layered and polymerised in 2 mm increments, which is complicated, bulk-fill composites offer the advantage of application into the cavity in increments of up to 4 mm. However, due to their insufficient aesthetics, bulk-fill composites are normally only used for the posterior region. VOCO has now resolved this issue with the new universal composite GrandioSO Unlimited. The aesthetic material can be applied into the cavity in 4 mm increments and is indicated both for the anterior and posterior regions. As a result, dental practices now only need one packable universal composite for their day-to-day work! With this extension to the GrandioSO product family, tried and tested for more than a decade, VOCO is setting a new standard for universal composites.
The universal composite without layers thanks to visual-transformation-technology (VTT)
In an uncured state, the material is so translucent that it enables a reliable depth of cure of 4 mm. During light polymerisation, a visual transformation (visual-transformation-technology) takes place, whereby the translucency of the material visibly decreases and the desired shade is achieved at a level of opacity that matches the natural tooth. The result is an aesthetic material for the anterior and posterior regions, which can be applied into the cavity in layers of 4 mm thanks to this special technology.
Simplified shade system thanks to Cluster-Shades
In addition to universal use and the usual simple handling, GrandioSO Unlimited offers further attractive advantages: thanks to the simplified shade system, the 5 Cluster-Shades are able to cover all 16 classic VITA shades. The optimised light scattering leads to a targeted and intensified chameleon effect, ensuring perfect adaptation of the restorative material to the natural tooth shade. As a result, dental practices are ideally equipped for their day-to-day work with just five shades and can reduce their inventories. The cluster shades A1-A3.5 that are frequently used require a polymerisation time of just 10 seconds.
With an impressive filler content of 91%, GrandioSO Unlimited is setting new standards in the high-performance composites class when it comes to stability and strength. The low volume shrinkage of 1.44% and the resulting low shrinkage stress also reduce the risk of poor marginal integrity and marginal discolouration, and contribute to top-quality restorations.
GrandioSO Unlimited is compatible with all conventional bonding agents and is available in both syringes and caps.
