Patient presented with recurrent decay on amalgam restoration
on tooth #28. Tooth was restored using Transcend composite
Universal Body shade. No opaquer was used as Transcendcomposite Universal Body shade had enough opacity to coveramalgam tattooing while blending in with the natural tooth color.

It’s n ot ma gic ,it’s science.

Transcend composite is designed with Ultradent’s Resin
Particle Match™ technology which allows the Universal
Body shade to blend with almost any tooth color
anywhere in the mouth, no blocker needed.1

Use the additional dentin and enamel shades of Transcendcomposite for the reconstruction of anterior teeth with a
noticeable difference between cervical and incisal areas(opaque and translucent regions), and/or for larger
restorations such as occasional Class III and IV cases thatlack the tooth structure from which the Universal Body
shade draws shade from. These additional shades have also
been designed for enhanced optical integration between
composite and remaining dentition and using them witha layering technique leads to beautiful outcomes.
Enamel Neutral is a more opaque enamel shade and Enamel
White has more translucency.

3Shades A1D, A2D, A3D, and B1D all follow the VITA™ shadeguide, and the enamel shades are a result of Ultradent’s
two bestselling enamel shades from the Vit-l-escence™ andMosaic™ composite systems.

As light shines in and out of on the tooth and passes throughTranscend’s Universal Body shade (rays 1 and 2), the light transmits
through the composite, absorbing the color from the surrounding
tooth that then determines the color reflecting back to the humaneye (ray 3). This means that no matter the tooth shade, Transcend’s
Universal Body shade will reflect color from the surrounding tooth.

When it comes to Transcend composite’s shade system,
simplicity is key. For cases when a layering technique isrequired, Transcend composite includes four dentin shades
and two enamel shades. These layering shades werehandpicked to include only the most popular shades fromour esthetic composite lines, so you have the shades neededto accomplish nearly any restoration.

DEThe Resin Particle Match technology is not the only thing thatmakes Transcend’s Universal Body shade stand out though.
Transcend’s technology, combined with its optimal opacity, creates
the ideal translucency percentage for a body shade that eliminates

the requirement for a blocker. Because of this careful balance
between opacity and translucency, Transcend composite has theability to look great in small and large restorations alike.

B1D

ELThe refractive indices of the resin matrix and the filler particles inthe Universal Body shade are closely matched, allowing light to bemasterfully diffused through the composite and tooth structure
and therefore providing a natural integration between therestoration and the tooth.

In the cases shown below, only the Transcend composite Universal Body shade was used.

BeforeAfter

Tooth structure transmitted color from the amalgam. Notice the dark dentin.
Transcend composite allows the light to travel through enough to reflect the toothcolor without being too translucent that the final restoration looks gray. Final result
is balance between translucency and opacity, plus natural tooth coloring.
Dr. Jaleena Fischer-Jessop

BeforeAfter

Reshaped and recontoured for better esthetic appearance. Transcend composite A2D
shade placed in cervical areas on teeth #7 and #8, followed by the Universal Body (UB)
shade on both teeth to balance the opacity and translucency the middle region of theteeth. Enamel White (EW) was then layered on the facial surface of tooth #7, Enamel
Neutral (EN) and EW placed on the facial surface and incisal edge of tooth #8 and EN
on the incisal edge of tooth #9.

BeforeAfter

Composite resin veneers replaced to obtain better esthetic appearance. Lingual shells
created with Transcend™ composite Enamel Neutral shade. B1D placed on tooth #8, andA2D placed on tooth #9 to correct imbalance of patient’s natural tooth shades. Enamel
White shade placed as the final layer on both #8 and #9.

A good composite should be easy to place, have strong physical properties, and maintain beautiful esthetics through the life of therestoration. Transcend composite features optimal flexural and compressive strengths and high initial and post-polishing gloss units sorestorations will withstand the test of time. Careful opacity tuning allows the Universal Body shade to blend seamlessly with surroundingdentition, ensuring long-lasting esthetics.
