Signum matrix
The greatest challenge in the restoration of the natural aesthetic quality of a tooth is presented by the dynamics of light: adjusting the tooth to the varying light conditions. Together with the aesthetics specialist Paul Fiechter we have succeeded in cracking the aesthetic code of nature.
Heraeus research now has applied this knowledge to its composites. The result is Signum matrix, a one-of-akind nano-hybrid composite which produces a dynamic interaction between fluorescence, opalescence and transparency, thus giving the tooth its life-like effect.
A continuous aesthetic concept for all restorations.
The matrix formula is effective in HeraCeram’s high performance ceramic as well as in composites from the Signum line. The advantage for dental technicians, the colour and component data and the layering concept of the matrix code are absolutely identical in both areas.
Matrix makes the difference – visually
The optical properties of a tooth, opalescence, fluorescence and transparency depend upon its structural composition; they influence each other and may vary strongly within a small space within the tooth. Even fine inhomogeneities will change the path of the light. The layering concept of Signum matrix makes it easy for you to recreate this complex changing effect.
