Venus® – Simply beautiful.

Restorations as nature intended. “Simply beautiful teeth!” This is what many patients want, expressing a desire for natural beauty and long-lasting restorations. And if Venus can do one thing, then it’s exactly what experience has shown in the last ten years: whilst Venus fulfils your patients’ wishes, it also delivers superior quality and simple handling. Venus helps you give your patients long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing restorations. With this universal composite you can create durable, gleaming restorations using the simplest techniques. Venus Flow adds a perfect flowable variant to the outstanding properties of the Venus range. With this well-attuned system you are ready to face the greatest challenges posed by anterior and posterior restorations. Its comprehensive range of shades and unique layering concept will ensure that all your restorations are masterpieces. Why should you settle for less?

Venus® – Simply natural.

Restorations with no ifs or buts. The refractive indices of the fillers and matrices in our Venus products have been perfectly aligned. Our ‘Color Adaptive Matrix’ is responsible for this. It gives Venus the unique ability to blend in with the surrounding tooth structure, creating an outstandingly natural look. The result of this complex mechanism is virtually undetectable restorative margins. The ultrafine filling particles allow you to achieve the perfect polish comparable to natural enamel.

Universal application Venus – a medium-viscosity filling material with exceptional handling properties. The Venus composite is stable whilst at the same time being smooth to work with. This facilitates contouring and increases efficiency. The excellent polishing and layering properties of Venus make it ideal for anterior restorations. Its extremely good strength and abrasion resistance also make it the material of choice for posterior fillings.

Venus® – Beauty in layers.

Where colour and quality merge. By applying Venus in layers, you can take advantage of all its aesthetic benefits. Venus is available in 27 shades and 3 levels of translucency to ensure exact colour adaptation and masking. A customised build-up of dentine, enamel and incisal shades creates natural restorations that perfectly match the patient’s surrounding tooth structure. Bleach shades have also been specially developed for bleached teeth.

Layer by layer ■

Opaque dentine shades exhibit the greatest depth of colour and are ideal for building up areas of lost enamel structure, the shade or lightness of which needs to be masked. This includes the dentine core when producing class IV, anterior restorations. The enamel shades are of medium transparency and are available in a wide range of shades. Enamel shades can be used without additional layering or can be combined with dentine and translucent incisal shades to achieve aesthetically pleasing results. Incisal shades have the greatest transparency and least chroma, and are used for adding the finishing touches to the restoration. They are built up over the enamel shades or at the incisal margin to create a natural appearance.

The genuine two-layer shade guide Venus comes with a two-layer shade guide to help you select the appropriate colour. The guide is handmade with original materials and consists of a base layer of dentine, the surface of which is coated with enamel. This structure reflects that of a natural tooth, whilst the ultimate colour of the restoration is displayed. Choosing the exact shade has never been easier.

Venus® – The cradle of beauty.

The classic universal composite: evidence-based and clinically tested. Results are available for Venus from clinical studies at the University of Leipzig, Germany, and the University of Loma Linda, USA. Both studies document the excellent clinical viability and durability of Venus restorations. In all categories evaluated in the study at the University of Loma Linda, USA, Venus was ranked Alpha (Code A) or Beta (Code B). 40 out of the 53 originally placed fillings (classes III, IV, V, diastema closure, veneers) were evaluated after two years.

Venus® Flow – A choice of consistencies.

Low viscosity, high performance. Venus Flow is the perfect addition to Venus composite in clinical situations in which precise control can only be attained by using a flowable composite. With this well-attuned system you are ready to face the daily challenges posed by anterior and posterior restorations. Venus Flow is easy to use and, thanks to its radiopacity, ensures a reliable diagnosis. Its low viscosity and good thixotropic properties make Venus Flow the material of choice in a diverse range of indications, such as sealing fissures, lining cavities and creating smaller fillings. The shades of Venus Flow are optimally matched to the Venus shades. Venus Flow offers a choice of 14 shades, likewise with 3 levels of translucency. It enables you to create natural-looking restorations that blend in perfectly with the surrounding teeth. The Venus Flow Baseliner, which is highly opaque and white in colour, creates the first layer on the floor of a posterior cavity, for example, providing a transition for the natural tooth substance. In such a way, you can avoid the unnecessary removal of healthy tooth substance when extracting old fillings.
