Ceramics that adapt 

to their environment 

All living things adapt to their environment. So what is it that really brings artifi cial work to life? 

The blend-in dynamics of Interaction ceramics. The restoration adapts to any light condition, just as 

natural teeth do. Interaction Carrara with blend-in dynamics offers the dental technician a unique 

and complete series of dental solutions for both metal and full ceramic inlays, onlays and veneers. 

Read more about it in this brochure. 

Patented technology. 

Blend-in dynamics is a patented optical quality of Interaction ceramic. 

Using blend-in dynamics, the core layers of the ceramic change the 

brightness of the crown under the infl uence of changing light, just as 

natural elements would. At the same time, the transparent outer layers 

infl uence the appearance of the crown by leading the colours and the 

light in the surrounding area through the crown. Again, just like natural 

elements do. All of this ensures that a restoration really does ‘come to 

life’ in the mouth. 

Reducing failure costs. 

The use of Interaction ceramic with blend-in dynamics reduces the 

chance of the rejection of a restoration for aesthetic reasons. This will 

enable the dentist to make more effective use of his time with the patient. 

If the 16V Shadeguide is sorted and used in order of brightness values 

too, it even becomes possible to reduce failure costs to zero! 

Sorting by brightness. 

The aesthetic result wanted is often communicated incorrectly because 

of the way in which the 16V Shadeguide is usually ordered: in four 

colour groups. A different sorting method that has proved to provide a 

greater chance of success is the method based on brightness: B1, A1, 

B2, A2, C1, D2, A3, D3, C2, B3, D4, A3.5, B4, C3, A4, C4. 

Elephant has developed a new holder, the Interaction Value Guide, 

which will replace your old holder. Combined with the unique 

characteristics of the blend-in strategy, this method contributes to 100% 

aesthetic acceptance of restorations and the patient benefi ts from a 

perfect fi t the fi rst time round.

The right solution 

for every build-up on metal 

Whether working on crowns or bridges, suprastructures, veneers, inlays or onlays: Interaction Carrara 

means that there is always a solution on hand. Use sub-structure material made from precious metal or 

cobalt-chrome alloys, according to personal preference or as required by the indication. 

4 

Conventional crowns and bridges. 

The Interaction Carrara ceramic serves a broad indication area in 

combi nation with ceramic alloys with a thermal expansion coefficient 

ranging from 15.8 to 16.9 μm/m.K (25-500°C). You can choose 

from a range of materials, depending on the patient-specific wishes 

applicable. 

Suprastructures on implants. 

If you opt for a ceramic build-up for implant-based solutions, Interaction 

Carrara will produce the results envisaged for both screw retained 

or cemented restorations. The stability of the sub-structure material 

chosen will be decisive for the fit in the mouth and, as such, for patient 

comfort. 

Certainty; all from just one source. 

As soon as they were launched in 1984, it was possible to offer 

Interaction Carrara ceramic solutions in combination with alloys 

geared towards use with ceramics. This means that you can always 

be assured of a good result! These restorations have already proven 

themselves millions of times, over throughout the world. 

No deformation. 

Even when a restoration is implant-based, excellent alloys are available 

for the Interaction Carrara ceramic. Because of their combination of 

a high elongation strain with a high Vickers hardness after hardening, 

these ceramics are particularly suitable for use in implant supported 

restorations.

Metal ceramic or full-ceramic? 

Restorations are often challenging where combined indications are 

required. Interaction Carrara enables you to use the same material 

for mixed indications. The result: the very best aesthetic result possible. 

Metal ceramic crowns used beside veneers in a frontal restoration, 

when produced from the same ceramic, guarantee a good solution. 

The same is possible for posterior teeth by placing bridges next to 

ceramic inlays. All of these can be created from the same materials 

and all benefit from the advantages offered by blend-in dynamics!

High quality aesthetic results for decades. 

Beautiful restorations are possible as part of an effective, simple and 

very economic procedure, in which the blend-in dynamics make 

themselves felt as soon as Interaction Carrara is used to produce 

veneers, inlays and onlays. The original material produced was first 

used for these solutions in 1984. 

Platinum foil and investment. 

Depending on the method preferred, high-quality aesthetic restorations 

are possible using a platinum-foiled based technique or the technique 

involving a special heat-resistant investment. For both techniques, the 

Interaction solutions combine all of the auxiliary material needed with 

the easiest approach to and optimal fit for veneers, inlays and onlays. 

Total solution from taking the impression to cementing. 

Perfectly coordinated materials guarantee the achievement of a perfect 

result. For every indication for which Interaction Carrara can be used, 

the materials recommended contribute to an optimal and perfect end 

result.

The build-up 

The core layers: 

Interaction Carrara paste opaque 

(V1/B1 – V16/C4 and bleach) 

These are ready-for-use, fluorescent 

opaques and can be applied directly 

to the prepared metal sub-structure. 


ensures bonding with all of the sub-structures within the indication area and 

its fluorescent effect assures the ability of the restoration to vary in clarity in 

changing light. 

8 

Interaction Carrara value dentin 

(V1/B1 – V16/C4) 

These are dentines that are ordered by level of clarity. 

In terms of translucence and colour pigmentation. These 

value dentines have been adapted to ensure the correct 

achievement of the appearance required when used in 

combination with the corresponding paste opaque and 

incisal. The fluorescent effect of the dentin also contributes 

to the active interaction of the restoration with changing 

light conditions. 

Interaction Carrara action-i dentin 

(1V4/1B2, 4V8/1A2, 8V13/3B4, 13V16/3C4) 

These are strong-fluorescence dentines, ordered by 

colour and clarity, and used to apply characteristics in 

the incisal part of the element (mamelons, for example) 

and to influence the chroma of the restoration 

(i=incisal, i=individual, i=intensive and i=interactive).

Transparent outer layers: 

Individualization: 

Interaction Carrara incisal 

(57 – 60) 

These are transparent incisals that are used to 

achieve a high-quality aesthetic outer layers for the 

fired restoration. Thanks to consistent applicated 

opalising properties, the crown has a natural, aesthetic 

appearance in changing light conditions. In this way, 

the crown blends in with adjacent elements in a natural 

manner. 

Interaction Carrara x-tra incisal 

(x-tra i bright, x-tra i medium, x-tra i dark) 

These are opalescent, transparent materials that can 

be used to precisely adjust the value of a crown. For 

example, when the cervical area of a tooth needs to 

be slightly darker in colour, in line with the processing 

instructions provided by the dentist, this can be achieved 

using x-tra i dark. If a crown is ‘too dark’ after the first 

firing, x-tra i bright makes it possible to correct this without 

any cutback. 

Interaction Carrara x-tra-incisal 

(x-tra i blue, x-tra i red, x-tra i grey, x-tra i orange, x-tra i white) 

These are opalescent, transparent materials that ensure 

an additional colour transparency in tooth surfaces. This 

makes it easy to individualise the incisal part of the crown. 

Interaction Carrara x-tra-incisal 

(clear) 

This is a neutral, transparent, non-opalescent material. 

Interaction Carrara margin 

(1A2, 3A4, Booster, 1B2, 3B4, 1C2, 3C4, gum) 

These are materials that are used to fire ceramic 

shoulders onto shoulder or chamfer preparations. 

Interaction margins can also be used in situations where 

a very limited layer thickness requires a dentine colour 

with better coverage. 


(221 – 240, for individual use) 

These are special coloured dentines, arranged by colour 

and clarity, that are used to apply characteristics to the 

incisal part of the element (mamelons, for example) and to 

influence the chroma of the restoration. They are ready for 

use and can be used unmixed. 

Interaction Carrara correction 

This is a colourless, lower-melting, transparent correction 

material for the correction of contact points and occlusal 

or incisal edges, or for the improvement of the crown 

surface shape. 

Interaction Carrara gumshades 

(211 Violet, 212 Dark, 213 Light, 214 Translu-violet, 

215 Translu-dark, 216 Translu-light, 217 Extra Translu-light, 

paste opaque gum) 

These are materials that can be used to create high-quality 

and aesthetic ceramic reconstructions of lost gingival 

material/gums. This may be necessary in the event of 

significant implants and suprastructure works, for example.

Your best choice 

Besides the exceptional ease of use that the blend-in dynamics provide from an aesthetic point 

of view, there are many aspects that make the Interaction ceramic easy to work with too: 

10 

Faster result. 

Interaction ceramic is form stable for at least five firing stages. After the 

normal first sinter shrinkage, the material is form stable, which means 

that fewer corrections will be necessary during the rest of the process. 

Besides a homogeneous firing result, the unique particle build-up 

also results in a reduced risk of breakage and cracks. An additional 

advantage of the particle size build-up chosen is that the ceramic is 

stable in wet conditions too, which makes the material pleasant and 

easy to work with. 

Simplicity of use. 

The Interaction assortment for the various sub-structure materials are 

identical in terms of build-up. Experience gained with the material can 

be applied again and again, regardless of the sub-structure used. 

Added to this, the names used for the materials often indicate their 

function within the build-up. 

Healthy elements retained. 

The basic material (the frits) for Interaction ceramic is produced using 

a hydrothermal production process 1) . As a result, a hydroxil effect is 

ultimately achieved in the mouth. Upon first contact with the saliva, the 

crown reacts by creating a smooth, softer outer layer, resulting in a 

reduced risk of antagonist abrasion. 

Trust. 

Interaction ceramics always consist of two components (so-called frits) 

made from 100% natural feldspar material. During firing, the glass frit 

changes to a liquid form before the leucite frit does. As a result, the 

sub-structure is ‘wetted’ better, which results in better adhesion. In this 

way, the risk of cracks or material breaking away is kept to a minimum. 

This also results in a demonstrably better bond for both precious metal 

sub-structures and cobalt-chrome substructures. 

Economic advantage. 

The complete range consists of relatively few different materials, yet it 

is still possible to produce any of the various restorations from them. As 

a result, there is a smaller risk that a high level of unusable materials will 

be accumulated in the laboratory. 

History since 1984. 

Interaction Carrara was developed from the FlexoCeram system, 

which was introduced in 1984. The basis for the recipe used for 

the material has remained virtually unchanged. This means that by 

choosing Interaction, you are opting for a material that has already 

been used in millions of restorations over the last 25 years.
