Microfilled composite resins are well established as high quality restorative materials.
Taking advantage of this technology GC has designed a light-cured composite for
the highly aesthetic reproduction of missing gingival tissue. GRADIA gum shades is
especially indicated for implant superstructures, and other fixed or removable
prostheses. Dental technicians wish to work with a truly natural shade system. Therefore
GC has analysed a wide range of natural gingival shades. The GRADIA gum shades
layering technique and a variety of modifiers provide unlimited possibilites for
individual gingiva reproduction.
“No white aesthetics without red aesthetics”
Red aesthetics are just as important as white aesthetics for patients’ satisfaction and
wellbeing. The natural appearance of the gum tissues has to be respected as much as
the shape, form and shade of the restored teeth at any age. This includes an exact
length ratio of the crown and the restored atrophic periodontal and gingival tissues.
With GRADIA gum shades this ratio can be easily achieved using light-curing materials
of varying viscosity.
Based on GRADIA Micro-Ceramic Composite
New standards have been introduced with GRADIA dental crown and bridge
composite. Based on this material GRADIA gum shades shows the same outstanding
physical properties, natural appearance and easy handling. Used in combination with
GRADIA and any of the compatible metal, ceramic and composite primers, GRADIA
gum shades shades offers the additional benefit of a well-adapted material system.
