	Shofu Dental Corp., recently launched Beautifil II Gingiva and Enamel resin composite, described as a new line of fluoride-releasing, bioactive, nanohybrid restorative materials in pink and white shades.

	The new Beautifil II shade modules are highly filled, demonstrate optimal flexural and compressive strength, are said to maintain exceptional color stability before and after curing, exhibit high luster and, similarly to the original Beautifil II, offer clinically vetted Giomer benefits-the ability to release and recharge fluoride, inhibit plaque build-up and neutralize acids.

	Beautifil II Enamel direct resin composites were developed as an addition to the award-winning Beautifil II, a fluoride-releasing, bioactive, nano-hybrid composite in dentin shades. The chameleon-like optical characteristics of the enamel tones allow for creating polychromatic restorations with morphology and esthetics of natural teeth, chairside, providing the clinicians with a cost-effective alternative to ceramic veneers. the white-colored Beautifil II Enamel can be layered and blended together to deliver results that will mimic natural dentition.

	Beautifil II Gingiva shades are intended for the cervical area, specifically-the esthetic correction of gingival recession, wedge-shaped defects, exposed cervical areas, splinting, and re-balancing of pink aesthetics. the pink-colored beautifil ii gingiva was created based on shofu’s signature ceramage line, a nano-ceramic indirect composite, designed for artistic restorations of anterior regions. similarly to its indirect predecessor, Beautifil II Gingiva resin composite can be blended together and layered to produce custom shades that will help effectively address patient’s clinical needs.
