Quadrant Anterior Shine excels in long-term clinical study!
Naturally beautiful
Cavex Quadrant Anterior Shine is a micro-hybrid composite ideally suited for anterior restorations and veneers. Due to the prism structure of the Barium glass filler particles in Quadrant Anterior Shine, incoming light is refracted and diffused naturally so that the restoration adopts the colour of its surroundings. This chameleon effect makes Qaudrant Anterior Shine extremely “forgiving” and colour differences are less critical. A fluorescent pigment has also been added to Quadrant Anterior Shine, which is similar to the fluorescence of living elements. Every restoration therefore has a very vital appearance that is indistinguishable from real teeth. A balanced VITA® shade range also provides a matching, aesthetic solution.

Unique composition
Quadrant Anterior Shine has a wonderfully liquid consistency and can be handled easily, even in very thin layers. A perfect veneer involving minimal preparation can be created using the QUAST technique (www.cavexquadrant.com), for example The unique micro-hybrid character of this composite (small (nano-) particles coagulate into stronger, larger particles) ensures a robust and, in particular, high-gloss structure that can be polished. 		quadrant anterior shine
