Simply Elegant
Dentine and enamel, with Aura ultra universal restorative system, is the easy solution to creating as close to nature anterior and posterior restorations.
Based on the natural make-up and colours of the dentine and enamel, Aura uses a logical yet innovative approach to shade-matching and layering in one single composite system. Its unique blend of filler and resin work in harmony to deliver the strength and aesthetics needed to provide long-lasting and life-like restorations with ease.
Experience The Modern Microfill
Aura combines a new low shrinkage resin composition with a unique morphology of ultra high density (UHD) filler. This provides the exceptional strength of a nano-hybrid composite that can withstand high compressive forces, coupled with an enamel shade range madefrom microfilled pre-polymerised particles for easy polishability and sculptability.
Eliminate The Guesswork
Aura removes the guesswork from finding the right shade for your restorations with its unique linear and scientific arrangement that brings predictability and simplicity to customising shades.
Selecting the dentine shade plays a major role in determining the overall tooth colour (hue). Nearly all dentine falls into the red-brown-yellow hue. Aura focuses on where tooth colours vary (the ‘chroma’) and how strong or weak the chroma is to recreate the natural make-up and colours of the enamel and dentine.
Aura Enamel Shade
Choose the enamel shade from the incisal edge of the neighbouring teeth. Aura enamel shades E1, E2 and E3 are microfilled for easy polishability to a mirror finish and a high shine and gloss that is retained indefinitely.
- E1: Young / bleached teeth (Most whitest/lightest, high opalescence, low translucency, designed to emulate young enamel)
- E2: Adult teeth (Neutral in colour, low opalescence, intermediate translucency, designed to replace adult enamel)
- E3:Senior teeth (Yellow/grey, high translucency, aged enamel)
ENAMEL DETERMINES 5% OF TOOTH COLOUR
Aura Dentine Chroma
Match the shade to the dentine and the gingival/cervical region using the large chroma scale Db, DC1, DC2, DC3, DC4, DC5, DC6 and DC7. Aura dentine shades are nano-hybrid composites based on a single opacity and single hue that is fluorescent. Its excellent handling properties allow busy clinicians to contour and shape without slumping or sticking to instruments, making it possible to achieve beautiful restorations quickly and easily – first time, every time!
DENTINE DETERMINES 95% OF TOOTH COLOUR
Aura’s impressive compressive strength*
The unique morphology of the UHD filler provides an extremely high strength interface that can withstand high compressive forces.
High marks for Aura’s high flexural strength*
Aura’s superior flexural strength means it is able to withstand forces transmitted in the mouth.
Minimal volumetric shrinkage for maximal dimensional stability*
Aura combines a new low-shrinkage resin composition with a new Ultra High Density (UHD) filler.
