New Dental Product: Admira Fusion x-tra from VOCO

VOCO recently introduced Admira Fusion x-tra, a single-shade omni-chromatic nano-ORMOCER restorative material that can match the shade of surrounding tooth structure.

Sixty percent of the particulate that makes up the BPA-free Admira Fusion x-tra is between 20 to 40 nanometers in diameter, smaller than the wavelengths of visible light (approximately 400 to 700 nm), according to a press release. Because of that, its nano-particulate neither diffracts nor refracts light. Instead, it allows the light to pass through uninterrupted and bounce off the surrounding tooth structure. This causes the restoration to take on the shading and color of its surroundings, much like a chameleon blending into its environment.

The nano-ORMOCER technology gives the material a low shrinkage rate of 1.25% by volume and a shrinkage stress of up to 50% lower than other brands. This results in a lower failure rate and greater longevity. The biocompatible material’s low water solubility means restorations keep their luster, shine and shade for longer because they are much slower to absorb liquids like coffee, wine and tea.
