Venus Pearl composite –Beauty beyond aesthetics.Benefits beyond the norm – experience thedifference of Venus Pearl composite.A new standard of careVenus Pearl advantagesHeraeus Dental is pleased to add the new nano hybrid composite Venus Pearl to its growing family of composite products. Since 2002, the Venus Family has provided restorationsolutions that meet the highest aesthetic expectations of bothdentists and their patients. The natural colouring options andbenchmark durability introduced by Venus Diamond are nowcomplemented by Venus Pearl, which is characterised by asofter consistency during sculpting.On the following pages learn about the many benefits of Venus Pearl composite:The beauty of Venus Pearl composite is, of course, best seenin the highly aesthetic, long-lasting results, thanks to a uniquemulti-shade layering concept and sophisticated colour adaptation potential, which ensure indiscernible, natural-looking restorations.The hidden beauty of Venus Pearl is how easily and conveniently it is to use and sculpt. The superior malleability ofVenus Pearl makes it exceptionally well suited for anterior aswell as posterior restorations. In either case, the strength,durability, low shrinkage stress, high lustre and other materialproperties provide dental professionals with a genuinelypleasant experience and the satisfaction of a job well done.Easy and convenient handling – thanks to a creamy and low sticky consistency as wellas excellent sculptability and polishabilitySuperior physical properties – unique Heraeus urethane crosslinker formula enables lowshrinkage stress, high flexural strength, and compatibility to commonly used bondingsLong-lasting aesthetics – featuring a wide range of shades for exact colour adaptationbased on 3 levels of translucency allowing multi-shade & single-shade layering techniquesVenus Pearl – professional indicationsApplications for which Venus Pearl excels:Direct restorations of Class I-V cavities (according to Black)Indirect restorations (inlays, veneers)Shape / shade corrections of teeth (due to diastema closure, congenital defect, etc.)Splinting of teeth loosened by trauma or periodontal diseaseRestoration of primary teethPorcelain / composite repairs (combined with an appropriate repair system)Direct composite veneersCore build-upThe colour and lustre ofVenus Pearl can match the naturallook of almost any tooth – or evena pearl – with striking precision42596 Venus Pearl PI GB.indd 2-320.04.12 11:02

Venus Pearl composite –The beauty of easy and convenient handling.Co-operative consistencyBuilding on a solid foundationSimple and easy to use, the soft, creamy and low sticky consistency of Venus Pearl is exceptionally responsive and ideal forfine detailed work. That exceptional level of sculptability – in addition to its high degree of polishability – makes Venus Pearlthe new standard of care for all types of direct restorations.Tests have verified the professional user-friendliness of Venus Pearl.Sculpting restorations is easier thanks to the extended working time under operatingconditions and the low stick relationship to dental instruments.Handling Evaluation of General Dental Practitioners (March 2012)/ Field testHandling, polishing quality and time, colour match and overall assessment were ratedas outstanding350 GDPs from 11 countries have received a questionnaire & Venus Pearl test material256 GDPs have returned the form and 7054 Venus Pearl fillings (class I–V)were placed so far.Venus Pearl affords excellent sculptability witha soft consistency that also keeps its shape wellduring modelling.

Venus Pearl composite –The beauty of superior physical properties.Our formula for successGreater malleabilityVenus Pearl’s superior physical properties derive from the unique Heraeus formula TCD-DI-HEAand UDMA. This innovative formula, which includes a urethane monomer and optimised fillersystem, results in a winning combination of very low shrinkage stress and high flexural strength,which crucially protects fillings against fracture and secondary caries – still the main reasons fordirect restoration failure.The secret to Venus Pearl’s greater malleability compared to Venus Diamond:Adjusting the filler system leads to a softer consistencyNarrowing the particle size distribution: 5nm – 5μmUsing 59% filler by volume, 80% filler by weightCombining Barium-Aluminium-Fluoride glass pre-polymerisedfiller a highly discrete nanofillerThe perfect complementMPaFlexural nd05Brand06VenusPearlBrand 1 Tetric EvoCeramBrand 4 Herculite XRV UltraBrand 2 Estelite Sigma QuickBrand 5 Filtek Supreme XTEBrand 3 IPS Empress directBrand 6 Esthet X HD116014514240Mean values fl exural strength [MPa]By combining different particle sizes, optimising filler packing density, and adjusting the fillercontent, the unique physical structure of Venus Pearl provides greatere malleability in combination with the extreme durabilitylity for which Venus Diamond is known.

Venus Pearl composite –The beauty of long-lasting aesthetics.Exceptional enduranceThe Venus Family range of shadesVenus Pearl endures the wear and tear of time, restoring smiles to their natural beauty witha long-lasting effect. Whether it is chosen for economic restorations in a single shade or forsophisticated multi-shade layering, the lifelike aesthetics of Venus Pearl really last – and thatmakes everyone look good.Opaque dentine shades are used for replicating the opacity of dentine or for coveringdiscoloured teeth: OLC (Opaque Light Chromatic), OMC (Opaque Medium Chromatic),ODC (Opaque Dark Chromatic) and OXDC (Opaque Extra Dark Chromatic).Universal shades possess colour intensities of medium translucency and are availablein 14 shades. They can be used with or without additional layering and can be combinedwith the opaque dentine and/or incisal shades.Exact colour adaptationIncisal shades have the highest translucency and the lowest colour intensity. CL (Clear) andAM (Amber) can be layered over the universal shade to create a more natural, life-like appearance. With the aid of the special incisal materials CO (Clear Opal) and YO (Yellow Opal), dentists can obtain the highest possible aesthetics due to the intrinsic opalescence of these shades.Venus Pearl composite is able to offer superior colour adaptation because of the perfectlyadapted translucency and the fine alignment of the refraction index of the fillers and the matrix.In addition, with 27 separate shades and three levels of translucency, the result is virtuallyundetectable restorative margins. The material uniquely takes up the colour of the surroundinghard tooth substance, leading to a harmonious, natural look. In addition, the ultrafine fillingparticles allow for a polish that is exceptionally good and even comparable to natural enamel.Shades beyond the classic colour scale include three bleaching shades (BL Bleach Light,BXL Bleach Extra Light, OB Opaque Bleach), allowing aesthetic restorations after bleaching treatments. The new shade CORE has been developed for core build-ups in the posteriorregion. This shade has an extended depth of cure of 3 mm in order to allow thicker layers.Its green colour makes the extension of the posterior build-ups visible in the dark oral cavity.The brand new GUM shade was created for the reconstruction of gingiva in gingival recessions.Venus Family composites are unique in their ability to blend inconspicuously with the colouring of the natural tooth.To show this effect of adaptation, a filling of shade A2 in a surrounding C2 reference was realized.Tetric EvoCeramSpectrum TPH 3Filtek Supreme XTEEsthet X HDVenus DiamondVenus PearlSingle-shade or multi-shade layeringA1D4D3A2A1-HKO p2a0q%ueU n8i v0e O L C%rI n c i s s aAl2a-l210% OLC80 0%O1p0a%OM% OMq uOeO Mi nCg70% A1% D3LCHK CU7n0i v%ayer 41 0l%20 0% C Le rAs2ad e - %sDs I V- A220% CL7 %I2n0c%C s h a 7C0l a% C Li s aCl l 7 1 0 %100% OLOuMl t i -3201U nAi v eAng20 HKA Mi0 %M % D Lrer42ysal%80 % C d e - l a DHK C0haA- s32elD.eMrCi n g- l a yO 4I , V2d0e%II%I , DIshal t i - s s 7I ,0CLCM u C l a 1 0 %A2.51gSinD2C2B1COL 10% % B L70 % C0B2OMC20% B270% CL10%OMC1 0 % B270% C L20%B2C1B310% OMC70% B320% CL20% OMC70% B310% CLB3LU.
