The Artiste™ Nano Composite System
This innovative new system introduces both a technique and a product that puts the power to create beautiful restorations into the hands of every clinician. What's different about the Artiste™ Nano Composite System? Through careful shade
formulation, a true polychromatic restoration can be created by effectively placing only two materials, Dentin/Body and Enamel. No excessive layering, materials or chair time. Just simple technique and intuitively named shades that take all the guesswork out of achieving a natural, vital look that blends easily and effectively with natural dentition.
