COLTENE Unveils the New and Improved BRILLIANT COMPONEER<br />

along with a Wider Range of ParaPost System Applications<br />

COLTENE<br />

In line with the company motto “Upgrade<br />

Dentistry”, the internationally leading<br />

dental specialist COLTENE will be<br />

showcasing an optimised version of<br />

its successful composite veneering<br />

system for the first time at the IDS<br />

<strong>2019</strong>. Currently for aesthetic anterior<br />

restorations, dentists are using BRILLIANT<br />

COMPONEER - a material based on the<br />

sophisticated submicron filler technology<br />

of the high-performance composite<br />

BRILLIANT EverGlow, which provides<br />

durable high gloss with extremely smooth<br />

surface upon polishing.<br />

Brilliant appearance<br />

With the improved<br />

formulation,<br />

BRILLIANT<br />

COMPONEER<br />

b l e n d s<br />

harmoniously<br />

into the<br />

existing series<br />

of high-quality<br />

composite<br />

solutions from COLTENE. All products of<br />

the BRILLIANT composite range impress<br />

with their excellent blending qualities,<br />

which allows the veneer shells to be<br />

easily integrated into the natural redwhite<br />

aesthetics of respective patients.<br />

Choosing the right shade using the<br />

suitable luting composite BRILLIANT<br />

EverGlow is also intuitive due to the<br />

practical “Duo Shade” shade concept. In<br />

addition, the natural shade gradient of<br />

the tooth is skilfully reproduced by the<br />

progressive thickness of the translucent<br />

veneers towards the incisal edge.<br />

Moreover, as a link between endodontics<br />

and restorative dentistry, post designs<br />

offer maximum retention for reliable<br />

long-term restorations. For different<br />

treatment methods and varying<br />

anatomical conditions, a wide-ranging<br />

root post system helps dentists find the<br />

right solution for virtually every clinical<br />

situation.<br />

Translucent composition vs. Heavy Metal<br />

Aside from the new BRILLIANT<br />

COMPONEER, COLTENE is also<br />

presenting its sophisticated ParaPost<br />

root post system with its wide range of<br />

applications. The universal system for<br />

all direct techniques, as well as casting<br />

techniques, offers the dentist a wide<br />

selection of reliable alternatives: from<br />

tried and tested titanium root posts,<br />

which promise high safety, to glass-fibre<br />

reinforced composite posts, which enable<br />

aesthetically demanding, metal-free<br />

restorations. All posts are distinguished<br />

by their great stability and adaptability.<br />

Almost 60 years ago, COLTENE developed<br />

ParaPost, the first standardised root post<br />

system with cylindrical sizes. The global<br />

market leader’s longstanding experience<br />

is particularly evident in the innovative<br />

design of the cylindrical ParaPost Taper<br />

Lux post: where the rounded retention<br />

head geometry minimises shrinkage<br />

stress during polymerisation in the core<br />

build-up material. At the same time, the<br />

retention edges on the shaft increase<br />

mechanical grip. Owing to the ingenious<br />

triple head design, the posts can also be<br />

adjusted quickly to the optimum length.<br />

The special X-Shape retention pattern<br />

of the titanium root posts acts as an<br />

efficient retention mesh and also serves as<br />

a drainage system to prevent apical back<br />

pressure caused by excess cement. The<br />

unique geometry is produced in a special<br />

rolling process and strengthens the break<br />

resistance of the post. When the focus<br />

is on metal-free root posts in treatment<br />

therapy, then light-conducting, glassfibre-reinforced<br />

composite posts with<br />

their dentine-like modulus of elasticity<br />

are the material of choice – not only<br />

because they can be adhesively bonded<br />

and are ideal for aesthetically demanding<br />

restorations, but they also reflect the<br />

natural shade gradient of the tooth<br />

substance. Moreover, they allow the use<br />

of light-curing cements and core buildup<br />

materials and are radiopaque - like all<br />

posts of the ParaPost range.<br />

Matched system for the optimal monobloc<br />

With the help of the standardised system,<br />

all indications can be treated with a<br />

standard range of drills. Be it for the direct<br />

technique or via the casting technique<br />

in the laboratory, there is a ParaPost<br />

variant for virtually every application.<br />

Using the matching 3-in-1 ParaCore<br />

material, the root posts are cemented, the<br />

core build-up is modelled, and the final<br />

restoration is securely fixed. The dualcuring,<br />

glass-fibre-reinforced composite<br />

creates an effective monobloc between<br />

the dentine, root post and crown. Using<br />

the sophisticated COLTENE range, this<br />

creates a homogeneous, extremely<br />

durable solution. ■<br />
