Several products brought to the industry in the past year really do offer benefits to both the clinician and the patient in their chairs.

OMNICHROMA

OMNICHROMA is described as the first universal composite that matches every patient’s tooth shade, from A1 to D4, with a single shade of composite. Its innovative technology utilizes structural color to match every tooth shade. Its 260 nm fillers are the precise shape and size necessary to generate red-to-yellow structural color as ambient light passes through the composite. The red-to-yellow color combines with the reflected color of the patient’s surrounding dentition, reportedly resulting in a perfect match with no added dyes or pigments.

GC Fuji^® Automix LC 

GC Fuji Automix LC is a radiopaque resin-reinforced glass ionomer available in automix delivery with an ergonomic dispenser for precise placement. The bioactive material is said to allow for a high, rechargeable fluoride release. Even in the presence of saliva, it forms a strong chemical bond to the tooth without the need for etchant and adhesive. The small filler particles in the material are engineered to allow for superb polishability. It is formulated as a unique RMGI restorative because it does not require a triturator.

ZirClean

ZirClean is a cleaning gel designed for the nonabrasive cleaning of the bonding surfaces of zirconia (and other prosthetic restorations) after intraoral try-in. Its use is said to help recover, improve and/or maintain the bond strength of zirconia restorations by neutralizing the phosphate contamination of zirconia, along with ceramic and metal restoration surfaces, that can occur during a try-in. After try-in, ZirClean helps to achieve reliable cementation results by removing contamination and restoring the adhesive ability with the optimal cementation conditions.
