_Beauty, that everyone can see—with Amaris from VOCO, highly aesthetic restorations can be achieved in both the anterior and posterior areas. Thanks to convenient handling and simple shade selection, an endless number of shapes, shades and surfaces can be fashioned quickly with this novel composite system. The material flawlessly matches thetoothsubstancewithitsbrilliance,naturalopac- ity and coordinated chroma so that even the high- est aesthetic demands are satisfied. Amaris provides extraordinary natural and aes- theticcompositerestorations,especiallyinthesen- sitiveanteriorrange,inatwo-layertechniqueusing only one opaque and one translucent shade per restoration. Corrections can be made up until the application of the last layer without having to re- move the previously applied layer of base shade. TheAmarisshadesconformtothenaturalshades of teeth instead of an industry standard. The entire spectrumoftoothshadesisuniformlycoveredwith the five opaque and three translucent shades in- cluded in the set, which saves space as yet another advantage. Amaris not only simplifies systematic shade selection, but also satisfies individual require- ments concerning transparency, luminance level and opacity. The core is constructed by applying an opaque shade. A finishing layer is modelled with a translucent shade, which simultaneously refines the colour scheme of the restoration. The Amaris system includes two effect shades, HT (High Trans- lucent) and HO (High Opaque), for special accen- tuations, which can be used to create individual structures. HT is ideal for designing incisal edges and HO is suitable for masking discolouration, for example. Amaris facilitates long-lasting, stable and abra- sion-resistant restorations with its 80 % w/w fil- ler content. The composite exhibits minimal shrinkage and can be modelled easily and finished without sticking to the instrument. An ingenious material composition provides for an especially simple polish and durable radiance. VOCOisalsoofferingtheAmarisstartersetinthe user-friendly Caps version.
