Amaris Gingiva from Voco is a light-curing restorative in gingiva shades that permits chair side gingival shade matching. This new composite-based restoration system facilitates individual shade-matching using a combination of a base shade with three mixable opaque shades in white, light and dark.
The result is a representation of the gingiva that appears natural. Through this principle, extensively exposed cervical areas caused by gingival recession and wedge-shaped defects in the cervical area can be controlled in the future, both functionally and aesthetically.
It models well and can be polished to high gloss. With the new non-dripping, non-running NDT syringe from Voco, applying the material is just as economical as it is hygienic.
The product features translucency and shade stability and it exhibits a very low shrinkage. Amaris Gingiva provides long-lasting, aesthetic restorations with its low abrasion values as well as its high compressive and transverse strength.
