Aura | Ultra Universal Restorative Material

Description :

Aura a simple, easy, beautiful SMILE

- the logical, innovative restorative system designed to
save time, every time

- Based on the natural make-up and colors of enamel and dentin.
Simple layering technique to reproduce the natural colors of teeth.
- High polishability and sculptability.
- Designed to simplify shade matching for busy clinicians.

How tooth composition determines tooth colour

- Since the colour of the tooth is determined by the dentine, not the enamel, the dentin shade plays a major role in determining the overall tooth colour.
- The enamel is relatively translucent but requires high polishability.

Dentin is 95% of the tooth color1

- Single opacity
- Hue saturation
- Fluorescence

Enamel is 5% of the tooth color1

- Translucency
- Low hue
- Opalescence

Aura – a simple approach to a mirror finish.

- Aura’s enamel is microfilled for easy polishability to a mirror finish.
This mirror finish is retained indefinitely.

- Choose the enamel shade by observing the patient :

E1    Young or bleached teeth
E2    Adult teeth
E3    Senior teeth

Multipurpose use

- Also available in 4 multipurpose chroma shades MC2, MC3, MC4 and MC5. These are ideal for non-layering aesthetic and bulk filling requirements.

Aura – an easy approach to identifying and matching tooth color.

- Since the overall color of the tooth is determined by the dentin,
- not the enamel, choosing the dentin shade should be the first priority.

Bulk fill

- For quick posterior restorations where overlaying enamel is not necessary.
- Designed to achieve high depth of cure and strength.

Minimal volumetric shrinkage for maximal dimensional stability.

- Aura combines a new low-shrinkage resin composition with a new Ultra High Density (UHD) filler.

High marks for Aura’s high flexural strength

- Aura’s superior flexural strength means it is
- able to withstand forces transmitted in the mouth.

Aura’s impressive compressive strength

- The unique morphology of the UHD filler provides an extremely high strength interface that can withstand high compressive forces.

Aura – how a linear scale provides an easy approach to tooth color selection.

Aura is the result of five years collaboration with international materials and tooth restoration experts.

- Nearly all dentin has a similar “Hue”, falling in the red-brown-yellow range.
- Aura focuses on where tooth colors vary, the “Chroma.”
- Chroma is how strong or weak a color (hue) is, measured in % saturation.

This linear and scientific arrangement brings predictability and simplicity to customising shades.

Step 1

- Select the dentin shade where there is exposed dentin or where the cervical area of the tooth is the thinnest.

Step 2

- Select the enamel shade from the incisal edge of the neighbouring teeth of the tooth to be restored.
