Cristobal®+ Wear Beyond Compare
Combining physical properties that exceed most other materials, Cristobal®+ offers long-term in vivo performance with proven clinical results. The triple bonding mechanism of the Cristobal®+ system to metal affords a remarkably strong restoration. Cristobal®+ is a highly fracture-resistant, shock-absorbing material with ideal rebound properties. Its barium borosilicate glass filler has excellent cohesion to the matrix, due to a unique silanization process. BisGMA resin is used for its elastic memory and exceptional resilience and resistance to damage.

belleGlass NG System.
The "next generation" of indirect composites, belleGlass NG, incorporates advanced nano-particle and submicron filler technology, creating the most significant development in composites in the last ten years, surpassing previous belleGlass benchmarks and setting new industry standards for polish, shine and wear. Developed by the same team of chemists and researchers who created Herculite, Prodigy and Point 4, todays standards for high quality direct composite materials.
Light, heat and pressure produce the highest degree of material conversion (98.5%), giving belleGlass superior strength and wear characteristics. The opaceous dentins high filler content exceeds 87%, providing exceptional strengths and shrinkage of less that 0.94%, which means better margin integrity and less chance of microleakage.
The opalescent appearance more closely characterizes natural enamel like no other composite based material. belleGlass restorations provide less wear to opposing dentition than porcelain because they are not as hard or abrasive. Studies from the University of Alabama have shown posterior restorations maintain polish and luster for 8 years, making it smooth, comfortable and long lasting.
belleGlass NG System. Proven Clinical Performance.
- Natural look. The opalescent appearance more closely replicates natural enamel like no other composite-based material. With two bleaching shades (B0 and B00) and a complete range of Vita®* classical shades, you can perfectly match the esthetic needs of every patient.
- Natural wear. belleGlass NG restorations closely match natural dentition in wear characteristics.
- High performance. Trimodal curing (light, heat and pressure) achieves over 98% material conversion, as compared with 60 70% achieved with light-cure-only materials.
- Long-lasting smooth polish. The unique blend of 25µ prepolymerized filler, 50 nm nanoparticles, and 0.4µ submicron hybrid fillers is a breakthrough of science and innovation. Particle sizes are below the wave-length of visible light, improving wear and delivering a surface that becomes smoother and shinier with time.
- Proven history. Rated #1 indirect resin system five years in a row by Reality Publishing, rated #1 by Dental Advisor, ten years of positive clinical studies and field data, and tens of thousands of successful restorations placed since 1996.
Sinfony Composite from 3M ESPE
Sinfony is the most versatile restorative system on the market today. It has proven to be a successful choice for crown & bridge, laminates, inlays, onlays and implant restorations. Sinfony is a micro hybrid composite material. It is a Bis GMA/TEDGMA free, multifunctional resin matrix with a strontium glass filler.
Sinfony is more wear-resistant than conventional composites but less wear-resistant than ceramic restorations. It will not fracture like porcelain and will not wear opposing dentition, yet it is extremely tough. Sinfony can be easily added to and repaired intraorally. Polishing in the mouth is simpler compared with porcelain which loses its glaze when adjusted; Sinfony will regain its original luster.
Aesthetics can easily be attained using the wide range of shades, stains and modifiers available to the Sinfony system. It has excellent translucency and is stain resistant. Anatomy, contour and occlusion are very natural-looking. The fit to the margin on the die and tooth is excellent and equal to a cast coping. Inlay and onlay restorations just seem to blend with the natural dentition in the mouth.
