The Chameleon Effect with a One Shade Composite

Shade selection can be one of the most time-consuming aspects of dental restoration. But with a one shade composite and the chameleon effect, the tedious and complicated shade selection process is avoided.

When performing procedures with FGM Dental Group composites, there’s no need to use several products to get the perfect look and feel for the patient. A one shade composite allows for incremental adjustment chairside, allowing the clinician to closely match surrounding teeth to achieve the chameleon effect..

What is the Chameleon Effect in Dental Restoration?

The chameleon effect describes the phenomena observed when comparing restorations side by side between esthetic dental materials and hard dental tissue. The observable differences are minimized when observing side by side, rather than in isolation.

A one shade composite makes it simple to incrementally apply the material to develop the perfect shade-matched smile from Bleach through to D4. There’s no need for stratification, and it’s simple to mimic surrounding hard tissue for a flawless smile.

Vittra APS Unique is a reliable one shade composite that allows clinicians to leverage the chameleon effect for better restorations and improved patient satisfaction.

More Information:

Vittra APS Composite Resin-

• • Mirror Capacity

  Vittra APS Unique copies the shade of the dental substrate during the polymerization process, achieving perfect mimicry thanks to the chromatic mirroring characteristics of the composite.

• • One composite for all shades

  From Bleach to D4 with just one shade of composite! It does not require stratification in most cases and allows the adoption of a simple incremental technique, without using different degrees of opacity/translucency.

• • BPA Free – Ensuring safety and health

  Studies show the interference of the compound Bisphenol-A (BPA) in the endocrine system and in fetal and childhood development, besides reproductive issues. Although the amount of BPA released in saliva by resinous materials is thousands of times lower than the minimum safe dose. There is a trend to eliminate BPA from restorative dental products.

• • Agility and economy

  It does not require shade selection and, therefore, makes it faster to complete restorative procedures, increases the productivity of the professional and reduces the stock of composite shades.

• • High esthetics and mechanical resistance

  In addition to excellent shine and polishing, it has high rates of flexural strength and fracture toughness to withstand the stress resulting from masticatory forces.

• • Exclusive APS Technology (Advanced Polymerization System)

  Longer working time even under the reflector’s light, more efficient photopolymerization, increased mechanical properties, superior esthetics with shade transmission and mirroring facilitated thanks to the more transparent photoinitiators of the APS technology (compatible with all light emitting light-curing devices).

• • BPA-Free Formula

  Safety and health for the patient! Studies show the interference of the compound Bisphenol A (BPA) in the endocrine system and in fetal and child development, in addition to reproductive problems. Although the amount of BPA released in saliva by resinous materials is much less than the safety limit dose, there is a worldwide trend to remove BPA from restorative dental products.

• • Smart syringe

  Smart-Lock lid: ergonomics and easy handling. Dosing tip for precise portions and without waste, in addition to biosafety: it prevents the placement of the spatula inside the tube, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.

• • Suitable for most restorative cases
• Permanent and deciduous teeth.
• Direct restorations on anterior and posterior teeth (classes I, II, III, IV, V and VI).
• Important: cavities class I, II, V and VI: in case of darkening, cover the area with dentin composite or opacifiers (according to the professional choice) and proceed with the incremental technique restoration with Vittra APS Unique. Class III and IV cavities (without a back wall to support the shade): make a layer that will serve as a background for the restoration and finish the rest of the volume with Vittra APS Unique in an incremental way.
