Where

This composite can be used at most, if not all dental practices and in tandem with the entire line of GrandiO/GrandioSO products that include flowables, sealants, bulk-fills, and CAD/CAM blocks and discs.

When

GrandioSO as a universal composite restorative is suitable for use in Class I-V restorations, as a core build-up, and more.

Why

Celebrating 10 years of proven performance, GrandioSO is designed to mimic natural tooth structure’s physical properties, such as surface hardness, flexural and compressive strength, as well as esthetic, thermal and elastic behaviors. This allows the material to react as a restoration in the same manner as the surrounding tooth structure, especially at the margin, reducing the risk of micro-leakage and failure and resulting in better long-term performance. GrandioSO is said to offer user friendliness with nonstick handling and easy polishability.

The How*

GrandioSO is formulated with restorative technology that allows for durability and esthetics through its high surface hardness and permanently high gloss. With its functionalized nanoparticles and special nano-hybrid glass ceramics, GrandioSO delivers a high filler content of 89% by weight, resulting in low resin percentage, which helps reduce the negative aspects associated with composite restoratives including polymerization shrinkage, staining, and wear. These features combine to make GrandioSO the most toothlike composite on the market, according to VOCO.
