Venus Pearl Pure Shades

Venus Pearl Pure Shades is a4-shade dental restorative line formulated to make it easier for clinicians to face the daily challenge of balancing effective patient care and efficient practice management. Kulzer—aware that every minute counts in the dental chair—has made it possible for dentists to efficiently cover 90% of their everyday direct restoration needs with only 4 shades with the launch of this new product line. The newly developed Venus Pearl Pure Shades are designed for everyday use for monochromatic layering in anterior and posterior restorations. They are said to deliver ease of use by fitting seamlessly into the daily restorative routine of clinicians. The optimized, streamlined selection of only 4 shades – LIGHT, MEDIUM, DARK and BLEACH – covers a wide shade range of applications and simplifies the restorative process. These benefits are made possible by the proven shade-matching properties of Kulzer’s Venus Pearl, which ensures seamless adaptation and integration with the natural tooth shade in both anterior and posterior applications, according to the manufacturer. The 4 Venus Pearl Pure Shades save additional time by delivering optimal results with monochromatic layering without the need for an opaquer. This is possible in approximately 90% of cases in the anterior and posterior regions and significantly reduces stress and potential errors in shade selection, Kulzer states. Featuring the unique TCD matrix, the product line is formulated to ensure optimal physical properties and durability of the materials while minimizing the risk of chipping or fracturing. Additionally, the shades have a low shrinkage stress, which reduces the risk of marginal gaps and secondary caries.
