Product Features
NanoCeram-Bright was used in all areas of the mouth and produced very esthetic restorations. The composite blends well with enamel, having enough opacity to mask darkness yet some translucency for a vital appearance. Ratings for the handling of the composite varied; some consultants liked the soft, creamy consistency and others preferred a stiffer, more packable material. Shade match after curing is very good. NanoCeram-Bright is easy to finish and polish to a smooth, glossy surface.
