Milnar, DDS, AAAGD) Shofu: Versatile materials can help increase patient satisfaction By Shofu Dental Staff n Performing esthetic restorations requires build-up techniques similar to those of layered indirect ceramic restorations, which involve emulat- ing the proper form, shade and func- tion of natural dentition. Mastering these techniques ena- bles clinicians to create highly artis- tic restorations. With new composite modules that are superior to or bet- ter than many porcelain systems, natural esthetics can be achieved chairside, in a minimally invasive, financially feasible and more efficient manner, according to Shofu. Beautifil II Gingiva 83 wt% filled, bioactive nanohybrid resin composite with enhanced han- dling and clinically proven Giomer chemistry, Beautifil II Gingiva pro- vides general practitioners with the know-how to optically improve gin- gival esthetics in the operatory, thus simplifying and reducing the time and cost of a treatment. Here in New York To learn about Beautifil II Gingiva, Beautifil II Enamel and other Shofu products, visit Shofu Dental at booth No. 4408. The proprietary Giomer chemistry incorporated into Beautifil II Gin- giva system facilitates sustainable release/recharge of fluoride provid- ing the ability to inhibit plaque forma- tion and to establish stable pH in the oral environment, thus decreasing the risk for secondary caries. Giomer materials have been clini- cally vetted in a series of long-term clinical trials. Five shades of Beautifil II Gingiva, dark pink, light pink, orange, brown and violet, can be coalesced to custom shade-match any type of soft-tissue topography. Using appropriate instruments, a reliable adhesive technique, ade- quate moisture-control and a curing device, the material can be predict- ably bonded to dentin, enamel, ceram- ics and a variety of other substrates. Optimal viscosity of Beautifil II Gingiva facilitates simplified mod- eling with standard shaping tools or freehand modeling for a more crea- tive approach. Indications of this novel gingiva- colored composite are not limited to defects in the cervical area of a tooth. Beautifil II Gingiva can be utilized chairside, to camouflage the exposed implant abutments and crown and bridge margins, to repair and re- contour the gingival portion of indi- rect restorations, to modify the esthet- ics of provisional restorations and to improve soft-tissue appearance in denture patients by revitalizing worn or fractured dentures, Shofu asserts. Beautifil II Enamel For decades, direct resin composites have been advocated as a means to conservatively restore defects in teeth caused by decay or trauma. A novel direct resin composite with enhanced handling and clinically proven bioactive Giomer chemistry, Beautifil II Enamel provides general practitioners with the means to create seamless transitions from the tooth to composite filling. The chameleon-like optical characteristics of Beautifil II Enamel allow for polychromatic res- torations with hue, chroma and mor- phology that mimic natural dentition and provide clinicians with a highly esthetic and cost-effective alterna- tive to crown, bridges and veneers with indirect techniques. Restoring a defective environ- ment inside the esthetic zone tends to pose clinical challenges. A new approach to treating these lesions involves the application of both gin- giva- and enamel-colored direct com- posites with bioactive attributes and improved physical, mechanical and esthetic properties. These versatile materials allow general practitioners to offer chair- side modalities that can increase patient satisfaction through the provi- sion of highly esthetic, cost-effective and minimally invasive treatments.
