Quadrant Anterior Shine is a light curing radiopaque composite filling material with fluoride release, specially designed for the restoration of anterior teeth. It is available in 13 shades (10 Vitaâ„¢ shades, 2 opaque shades and 1 incisal shade) for optimal color matching, packed in syringes of 4 g each or "single use" capsules of 0.25 g each.

It is used to fill cavities, prepared according to the principles of adhesive dentistry, adopting the minimal invasive technique for maximal preservation of sound tooth tissue. This requires the application of an adhesive bonding system such as Quadrant UniBond in the so-called "total etch technique", in combination with an etching agent such as Quadrant Total Etch.

The normal procedure, after a "lege artis" cavity preparation, conditioning of the tooth tissue involved (both enamel and dentin) and the application of the bonding agent, is as follows:

  • the composite resin is applied in the cavity in a layer of max. 2 mm thickness and light cured;
  • depending on the situation, one or more layers are applied and light cured;
  • after filling the cavity, the restoration is modeled and shaped, and finally finished and polished.
