Lasting
 Efficient superior shade blend
 One shade may integrate
with up to 10 shades,
reducing inventory costs
 Nominal shade shift for
predictable before and
after curing
 Exceptional handling
properties for ease of use
 High diffusion for a superb
blend with surrounding teeth
 Extreme resistance to slump,
for anatomical creation at
your pace
 High gloss for initial and
long-term polish retention
 Enduring stability without
harming opposing teeth
 Low 1.3% volumetric shrinkage
to resists marginal leakage
 Low shrinkage stress for
lasting patient comfort
 Retained levels of surface
smoothness and reduced
abrasion for long-term wear
resistance

Reduced inventory cost: Do more with less
High diffusion means wider shade range match, providing a natural blend
through various classifications. Arrows indicate the range of tooth color the
one resin shade can cover.

The Dental Advisor – Clinical Case Report
CASE
■ Estelite Sigma Quick was used in a mono-layered technique,
using only shade A3 in the following 6 cases.
PURPOSE
■ To see if one shade, A3, could be used solely to integrate into a
wide variety of shades, ranging from A2-C4.
13
The Dental Advisor – Clinical Case Report
■
The patient had treatment
performed the same day. A pre-op
photo was taken and a Vita shade
guide was used to take record the
initial shade, A2.
Before
After
■
14
The prepared tooth was restored
with two increments of Estelite
Sigma Quick. After light curing and
removal of the matrix band, the
composite restoration was finished
and adjusted for proper occlusion.

■
15
The patient was anesthetized and the
initial shade (A3) was determined
using a Vita shade guide.
Estelite Sigma Quick, shade A3, was
applied in two increments. Finishing
and polishing discs were used to
shape and finish the restoration, and
occlusion was adjusted. Again, the
postoperative outcome presents
favorable esthetics and harmonious
integration of color.
