Ultradent Products recently introduced Transcend universal composite.
The material offers optimal esthetics and handling properties, according to a press release. It is designed to simplify the restorative process, allowing dentists to complete most restorations with one shade.
Through Ultradent's Resin Particle Match technology, the composite offers high levels of translucency. This allows for ideal pigmentation and opacification to match the surrounding dentition. The Universal Body shade also has optimal opacity to help block the underlying tooth color, eliminating the need for a blocker shade.
The nanohybrid formula combines high strength and easy sculptability, making it well suited for both posterior and anterior composite restorations. The handling properties are firm but malleable, enabling the material to stay in place without drooping or slumping during manipulation. The material is highly wear-resistant, but also less abrasive to opposing dentition than other composites on the market.
In addition to the Universal Body shade, Transcend composite features four dentin shades and two enamel shades for cases when a layering technique is appropriate. These include the most popular shades from Ultradent's esthetic composite lines.
