FORMA composite features a zirconia nano-hybrid formula that allows for an exceptionally durable restoration with better initial and retained gloss. The silanated zirconia particles in FORMA composite are rounded, giving a beautiful high gloss finish and enhanced durability to the restoration—making FORMA composite ideal for both anterior and posterior applications.
It is available in a full range of shades with ideal translucency, opacity, and fluorescence when compared with the natural characteristics of the tooth. FORMA composite’s excellent optical properties enable clinicians to reach the ideal balance between esthetics of direct restorations and dental substrates with the use of only one body color (OneStepColor), or through a combination of dentin, enamel, and effect shades for more specific procedures. A zirconia nano-hybrid formula gives FORMA composite excellent mechanical properties, high strength, and excellent working consistency. It is easy to sculpt and simple to polish, offering beautiful final esthetics.
