The system is fulfilled of nanocomposite Synergy D6 that hashigh mechanical strength, convenience for workable consistency, color stability and a system of halftone shades, which facilitates colormatching. All this allows achieving excellent aesthetic results in minimal time. Application of an original standard scale givespossibility effectively assess optical properties of dental hard tissues and develop an implementation strategy of restoration before workstarted. Formation of Componeer form, polymerization and polishing at factory allow a practitioner fully utilize effect of＂fluorescence＂ inherent to the material. All this allows us to position the Componeer system as a serious alternative to non-directmethods of restoration with the possibility of both high aesthetic and cosmetic reconstruction reliability.展开更多
