SHADE - ADAPTIVE COMPOSITE

Dye & Pigment free nano-hybrid composite with spherical fillers produces a cameleon effect and adapts to match the patients specific dentin shade.

Spherichrome blockers in available for use when masking for tooth discoloration or extended Class III and IV cavities. SpheriChrome Blocker can also be used as a first layer for class I, II and V cavities.

SpheriChrome produces exellent restorations with less effort and fits easily into the everyday office procedure while delivering on claims to virtually eliminate shade matching. It saves time, yields improved restorations, reduces inventory, and increases patient flow in the office.

Case Report 1:

A patient exhibited wear and occlusal carries in her mandibular left first and second molars (Figure 1). SpheriChrome flowable was applied in several increments. The composite was contoured with a carbide finishing bur and polished with a composite polishing brush. The final result can be seen in Figure 2.

Case Report 2:

In Figure 3, the patient wished to have the central diastema closed so it was decided to place direct composite veneers for all four incisors. SpheriChrome Blocker was used only at the interproximal area between the central incisors. Regular SpheriChrome was layered over the entire facial surfaces of each tooth. The final result can be seen in Figure 4.

Case Report 3:

In Figure 5 you can see that the patient had experience chipping and breakage of the two central incisors. With minimal preparation and a slight bevel, we were able to add Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 7 SpheriChrome to restore the original shapes. A small amount of SpheriChrome Blocker was used at the mesial corner of the left central incisor and SpheriChrome regular was overlayed on the facial aspect and incisal edges. The final result is shown from the facial aspect in Figures 6 and 7.

SpheriChrome Blocker is available for use when masking for tooth discoloration or extended Class III and IV cavities. SpheriChrome Blocker can also be used as a first layer for class I, II and V cavities.

Surface Roughness Chart

Having a smoother surface when finishing the tooth is very important to the life and apperance of the restoration. My clinical expereance shows that the surface of SpheriChrome is significantly smoother than Omnichroma. This means that less biofilm could form on the tooth and create apperance and other problems.

Shrinkage in Water (24 Hours)

It is well known composite shrink and anything that can be done to reduce that shrinkage will benefit in the life of the restoration. The lower the shrinkage the less chance for micro leakage and alll the problems it can cause from discoloration to secondary caries.
