We want to make natural restorations as easy as possible for you. So we have always put our efforts into shaping the Charisma handling properties to your convenience. Charisma Classic, a light curing, radio-opaque microhybrid composite, is no exception to that rule. From its application to the light curing, the handling of Charisma Classic is convincingly easy:
We put all our expertise and long-term experience into our goal to advance a product that has been on the dental market for over 20 years and has been used in millions of fillings by practitioners around the world.
The result is Charisma Classic, the very first composite to offer the second generation of Microglass filler technology. We developed this new and enhanced technology in close cooperation with practitioners worldwide – and made single-shade layering techniques much more easy.
Conventional composites often include highly dispersive Silicon dioxide (SiO2) to prevent sedimentation of fillers. But this usually leads to an extremely high refractive variance and a milky appearance of the restoration. That is why good colour adaption and a natural look are much more difficult to achieve with those composites.
Charisma Classic contains approximately 61 % filler by volume with Barium Aluminium Fluoride glass. The new Microglass II filler technology does not need any pyrogenic SiO2 anymore and therefore offers an intrinsic shade brilliance and increased colour adaption of up to 56 %. All refractive indices of our matrix and filler system have been optimally aligned. Colour pigments ensure an intensified shade brilliance. The result: What you see is what you get!
The development of Charisma Classic was based on our long-term clinical experience with Charisma. Various internal and external studies have been conducted on Charisma Classic to ensure the same high quality and reliability for which its antecessor is famous for.
