Charisma® - Simplicity + Usability = Beauty
Charisma® is a universal light-curing ultra-fine particle hybrid composite for anterior and posterior restorations which has been clinically tested over many years.
Thanks to Charisma’s pronounced chameleon effect, patients’ demands for esthetically high-grade long-lasting restorations can be fulfilled. Charisma is based on a matrix of Bis-GMA, various photoinitiators and TEGDMA. Charisma contains 78 percent by weight of organic fillers composed of X-ray opaque Microglass® (Ø 0.7 μm/ max. >2.0 μm) and highly dispersive silicon dioxide (0.01–0.07 μm/Ø 0.04 μm).
The name Charisma has become synonymous with easy handling, reliability, and natural esthetics. Thanks to Charisma’s pronounced chameleon effect, patient’ demands for esthetic, long-lasting restorations can be fulfilled.
And now, more than 18 years and millions of fillings later, Charisma has set the gold standard for hybrid composites. Charisma offers:
- High strength and wear resistance which provide long-lasting restorations
