Why should I use Transcend™ universal composite? What is so special about it? Transcend universal composite is not only an innovative, state-of-the-art dental material. It is rather a genuine one-shade composite, providing unprecedented shade matching with just one Universal Body shade. During the development of Transcend composite, it was our dedicated aim to make the handling for the user as easy as possible. Also, there is not even the need for a blocker or opaquer to hide darker underlying colors.

A user report by Dr. Farina Blattner Being used for more than 80% of the treatments, it is an indispensable part of the orthodontics department in our practice: the curing light. Regardless of whether a bracket got detached, brackets must be attached, or composites need to be cured - without a curing light our practice would come to a standstill. As we do have a high patient frequency and often squeeze in patients for minor repairs, this treatment step always must be done very quickly.

A user report by Dr. Florian Bremer The placement of fillings is an integral part of the daily workflow in a dental practice nowadays. While silver amalgam fillings were still considered to be the standard a few years ago, composite fillings are now mainly used. A new direction has also been taken in the field of matrix systems. Today, a large range of matrices is available for the user. Full-matrix systems, e.g. the Tofflemire system, or sectional matrix systems can provide the decisive advantage. A lot of factors play a role during the placement of a filling, starting from the size and position of the cavity up to the level of patient cooperation. But also, the dentist's skills are important.

A user report by Dr. Florian Bremer Curing lights have become indispensable since materials like composites or ceramics have been increasingly used for modern dental treatment protocols. Practice teams work with this device several times a day. This is the reason why it is essential to have a reliable, easy-to-use light.

By Dr. Rafael Beolchi Knowing which class of composites should be used in each specific clinical situation is paramount for the success of direct placed esthetic restorations. In the recent evolution in composite resin technology a new class of materials known now as color-matching universal composites emerged. The idea behind these materials is that they should provide for pronounced blending/matching with the underlying substrate, drawing from the surrounding natural tooth structure, thus resulting in better color blending between tooth and restoration.
