REINFORCED
COMPOSITE
The outstanding mechanical properties of BRILLIANT Crios are the result of controlled, stress-free thermal curing. The multimodal composition of dental glass and amorphous silica in combination with a reinforcing resin matrix make BRILLIANT Crios the ideal material for permanent single-tooth restorations.
The quality of BRILLIANT Crios is also reflected by its high flexural strength. The compact structure increases the material resistance and reduces the risk of fracture. A STRONG MATERIAL

SHOCK-ABSORBING EFFECT The dentin-like modulus of elasticity of BRILLIANT Crios reduces stress peaks during chewing, resulting in decreased risk of material fatigue. Due to its shock-absorbing effect, it is extremely well suited for implant restorations. As tooth substance and BRILLIANT Crios have a similar modulus of elasticity, loading stress is considerably reduced at the margins.
