Venus ® Diamond
The Diamond Layer
Recreate Nature – with Three Levels of Translucency.
Universal shades
3 Levels of translucency guide
The beauty of layers:
By applying the Venus ®
Diamond layering technique, you
can gain all the aesthetic advantages. By individually layering
opaque dentine, universal and incisal shades you will
achieve natural looking restorations that blend perfectly
with your patients’ dentition – the way nature intended.
Opaque dentine shades
For replicating the opacity of dentine or for covering
discoloured teeth:
OL (Opaque Light)
OM (Opaque Medium)
OD (Opaque Dark)
Chromatic opaque dentine shades
For covering amalgam tattoos and discoloured teeth eth and
restoring dark class V cases.
OLC (Opaque Light Chromatic)
OM (Opaque Medium Chromatic)
OD (Opaque Dark Chromatic)
OXDC (Opaque Extra Dark Chromatic)
For high aesthetic results.
Universal shades possess colour intensities of medium
translucency and are available in a large range. They can be
used with or without additional layering and can be com-
bined with dentine and/or incisal shades.
Incisal shades
The perfect finish for your restorations.
These incisal shades have the highest translucency cy and
the
lowest colour intensity. CL (Clear) and AM (Amber) are layered
over the universal shades to create a more natural,
life-like appearance.
With the aid of the special incisal materials CO (Clear Opal)
and YO (Yellow Opal) you can obtain the highest possible
aesthetics due to the intrinsic opalescence of these shades.
Bleach materials
Beyond the classic colour scale.
These shades of various opacity have been designed to allow
for excellent colour matching especially after bleaching treatments.
The three Venus ®
Diamond translucencies perfectly replicate
the varying structures of the natural dentition when
used, as noted above. Our recent field study showed: 96%
of dentists participating were enthusiastic about the colour
match. See page 13.
