Evaluators’ Comments

• “Can be sculpted and stays put.”
  
• “When used for buildups, it cuts very much like dentin.”
  
• “Fantastic handling and great esthetics.”
• “I liked the consistency when expressed from the capsule. It was smooth and creamy.”
  
• “Consistent ease of placement as well as superior final results.”
• “Finishes and polishes easily.”
• “Trust your shade guide; the final color is accurate, but there was a bit of a pre/post-cure color shift.”
• “More translucent than I like; I would like to see this in a bulk-fill for the posterior as well.”

Indications

• Direct anterior and posterior restorations and veneers
• Core build-ups
• Indirect inlays, onlays, and veneers
• Splinting
• Composite and porcelain repair
• Sandwich technique with glass ionomers

Clinical Tip

• Not as packable in the posterior due to the creamy consistency, so be sure to adapt well. It does create a good contact.
• Because of Luna’s translucency, for Class IV or large Class III restorations, consider placing a dentin shade or one of their specialty opaque shades to prevent shine through in the final restoration making it looking dark or grayish.
• I would place a wider bevel to get seamless blending.
• Use very small increments and a small plugger to get it to pack onto the restoration well.
