Looking for a versatile, durable composite? Brilliant Crios from COLTENE is a reinforced composite bloc for the fabrication of permanent, indirect restorations using a CAD/CAM grinding process.

Available in two translucencies (and two sizes) with a total of 13 shades, it offers a broad spectrum of solutions for aesthetic single-tooth restorations – including inlays, crowns and veneers – and is ideal for use in both the anterior and posterior regions.

Brilliant Crios’ outstanding mechanical properties are the result of controlled, stress-free, thermal curing. Its multimodal composition of dental glass and amorphous silica in combination with a reinforcing resin matrix, make it an optimal material for permanent single-tooth restorations. Its shock-absorbing effect reduces the stress transmission and so is also well suited for implant restorations.

Why recommend Arm & Hammer^™ toothpaste solutions to your patients?

Well, they’re powered by baking soda, an all-natural agent that delivers an outstanding clean. Baking soda is able to: remove more plaque in hard-to-reach areas compared to a non-baking soda toothpaste; promote a neutral pH; and tackle unpleasant odour.

Not only that, but it’s gentle on the tooth’s enamel, while still effectively removing stains. The result is a happier and healthier smile!

The Arm & Hammer^™ toothpaste range includes solutions for gum protection, whitening and tooth sensitivity, as well as 100% recyclable options.
