Article Description

Since their introduction several years ago, unishade and reduced-shade composite systems have offered clinicians simplified choices and clinical protocols. Designed with optical properties that mimic their surroundings, these new materials can streamline or even eliminate the time spent on shade matching. Unishade systems benefit an entire practice. They simplify inventory management, reduce material waste, and save a dental practice time and money.

  • Realize the clinical advantages and uses of unishade composite systems
