Transcend Composite Universal Shade System

One Shade - Will Go the Distance with You

Transcend composite has been designed with Ultradent's Resin Particle Match™ technology. The balanced refractive indices between the resin and filler particles, combined with a carefully optimized tuning between translucency and opacity, allow Transcend composite to blend with most surrounding dentition with just one shade and without the use of a blocker.

This means that Transcend composite's Universal Body shade is your new go-to for a myriad of cases. It's not just a shiny new thing to play with, it's a well-balanced, nature-mimicking machine that will stay with the patient for the long haul.

For More Complex Esthetic Cases

In addition to the Universal Body shade, Transcend composite also includes four dentin shades and two enamel shades for cases when a layering technique is appropriate. These layering shades were handpicked to include only the most popular shades from our esthetic composite lines to ensure you have the shades needed to accomplish restorative work done on a regular basis.

Shades A1D, A2D, A3D, and B1D all follow the VITA™ shade guide, and the enamel shades are a result of Ultradent's two bestselling enamel shades from the Vit-l-escence™ and Mosaic™ composite systems. Enamel Neutral is a more opaque enamel shade and Enamel White has more translucency.

Use the additional dentin and enamel shades of Transcend composite for cases like:

• The reconstruction of anterior teeth with a noticeable difference between cervical and incisal areas (opaque and translucent regions)
• Larger restorations such as occasional Class III and IV cases that lack the tooth structure from which the Universal Body shade draws color

These additional shades have also been designed for enhanced optical integration between composite and remaining dentition, and using them with a layering technique leads to beautiful outcomes.

Restores Deep Staining from Amalgam Tattooing

Deep staining from amalgam tattooing presents one of the most difficult restoration situations to clinicians.

Reshaped and Recontoured

Reshaped and recontoured for better esthetic appearance.

No Staining or Layering Was Needed

Patient presented with discolored and defective distal buccal tooth color restoration on tooth #11 and mesial buccal on #12. Secondary caries beneath #12. Gingival recession caused the black triangle space seen. Defective restoration and caries were removed. Darker-yellowish dentin can be seen at the cervical area. Translucent enamel present. The preparation was etched and bonded per manufacturers' instructions, then Transcend composite Universal Body shade was placed to reduce interdental space. Transcend composite is able to mimic surrounding tooth color. No staining or layering was needed.
