Shoulder Dentin (SD3)Product Information
GRADIA® is an indirect restoration system for crown and bridge, inlays, onlays and veneers. This product is an advanced 'MFR composite'. Its internal structure consists of reinforced bonds between an organic/inorganic filler and a lightly-filled matrix resin which together impart a very high mechanical strength while being 'gentle' on opposing teeth. This makes GRADIA® particularly suitable for posterior high-wear, high-pressure restorations that are prone to chipping or cracking when made with porcelain. The composite is also simple to handle, biocompatible, very technique tolerant and can be easily polished to a beautiful natural gloss. When you want to use a composite restorative and the quality of your work demands using only the best, there is no finer system than GRADIA®.
Years of experience have shown that with GRADIA® you can create beautiful, life-like restorations without the 'paleness' of traditional composites as well as restorations with all the toughness of natural teeth. Another benefit with GRADIA® is that GRADIA® gum shades, our gingiva build-up composite, is an integral part of the GRADIA® system. Used separately, each product gives superb results. But if a patient requires teeth and gum restorations where their 'white' and 'red' esthetics need to be finely balanced, then the complete system is ideal. The shades and accessories of both products are fully harmonized so you can precisely color match your restorations to the patient and to each other, regardless of age or ethnicity.
