Ultradent™ Transcend™ Universal Composite Intro Kits

Transcend universal composite is an innovative dental composite material used for direct and indirect restorations in both the anterior and posterior regions. It provides unprecedented shade matching with just one Universal Body shade due to its Resin Particle Match™ technology that eliminates the need for a blocker or opaquer to hide darker underlying colors. For anterior cases that demand more esthetic care, a simple and complementary shade system is available that includes four dentin and two enamel shades.

Transcend composite has a high compressive strength that helps the composite provide long-lasting restorations that can withstand the forces of mastication. Its ideal working consistency is easy to sculpt. Additionally, Transcend composite is incredibly resistant to wear and has a long-lasting gloss.¹ With Transcend universal composite you can be confident in achieving exceptional, durable, esthetic results.

One-Shade Restorations

In the cases shown below, only the Transcend composite Universal Body shade was used.

Before

After

Failing restorations present. Preparation, etch, and adhesive applied. Transcend composite Universal Body shade then placed in 2 mm increments and cured. Last photo features final restoration. Dr. Andrea Franzò

Before

After

Tooth structure transmitted color from the amalgam. Notice the dark dentin. Transcend composite allows the light to travel through enough to reflect the tooth color without being too translucent that the final restoration looks gray. Final result is balance between translucency and opacity, plus natural tooth coloring. Dr. Jaleena Fischer-Jessop

Before

After

Patient presented with occlusal caries/defective restoration on tooth #13 and occlusal caries on #14. Caries and defective restoration removed on tooth #13 and #14. Preparations filled with Transcend composite's Universal Body shade. No stains were used in the final image in order to show how closely Transcend composite mimics surrounding tooth structure. Dr. Brigham Stoker

Before

After

Compromised older restorations. Old material removed and teeth prepped for Transcend composite Universal Body shade. Final restoration achieved after application of UB shade in 2 mm increments, then polished. Dr. Gaetano Paolone

Layered Restorations

In the cases shown below, multiple shades were layered.

Before

After

Reshaped and recontoured for better esthetic appearance. Transcend composite A2D shade placed in cervical areas on teeth #7 and #8, followed by the Universal Body (UB) shade on both teeth to balance the opacity and translucency in the middle region of the teeth. Enamel White (EW) was then layered on the facial surface of tooth #7, Enamel Neutral (EN) and EW placed on the facial surface and incisal edge of tooth #8 and EN on the incisal edge of tooth #9. Dr. Tommaso Mascetti

Before

After

Composite resin veneers replaced to obtain better esthetic appearance. Lingual shells created with Transcend™ composite Enamel Neutral shade. B1D placed on tooth #8, and A2D placed on tooth #9 to correct imbalance of patient's natural tooth shades. Enamel White shade placed as the final layer on both #8 and #9. Dr. Rafael Calixto

Shade System

When it comes to Transcend composite's shade system, simplicity is key. For cases when a layering technique is required, Transcend composite includes four dentin shades and two enamel shades. These layering shades were handpicked to include only the most popular shades from our esthetic composite lines, so you have the shades needed to accomplish nearly any restoration.

Built to Last

A good composite should be easy to place, have strong physical properties, and maintain beautiful esthetics through the life of the restoration. Transcend composite features optimal flexural and compressive strengths and high initial and post-polishing gloss units so restorations will withstand the test of time. Careful opacity tuning allows the Universal Body shade to blend seamlessly with surrounding dentition, ensuring long-lasting esthetics.

Transcend composite has the ability to harmoniously fluoresce in comparison to surrounding natural dentition that appears to glow under black lights.

Transcend composite has a high compressive strength that helps the composite provide long-lasting restorations that can withstand the forces of mastication.

"Transcend is a high-quality, no-compromise material that is a true universal shade-matching composite resin. It will become the workhorse product for your posterior composites, Class Vs, and many anterior restorations. It provides a high-quality result in a timely and cost-effective manner with excellent shade matching."

Dr. Mark Petit

"Transcend has been an exciting addition to my daily clinical practice. We all want our dentistry to look as natural and as esthetic as possible while providing high-quality, long-lasting results. Transcend makes it quick and easy to match the shade for my patients. Transcend not only improves the final result but it also saves time and reduces stress because I can feel confident my shade match is going to be great!"
