G-ænial Anterior & Posterior Technical Manual
The scattering properties of G-ænial provide its unique blending abilities
G-ænial anterior exhibits the highest light scattering amongst the competitors tested. an excellent
chameleon effect can thus be achieved, resulting in invisible restorations. This is the main reason
why highly aesthetic results can be obtained with only one shade of G-ænial, as can been
observed on Figure 11.
