CHARISMA® is a lightcuring, radio-opaque Microglass® composite. Due to the grain size of the glass filler the final polishing can easily be realized and in connection with adequate bonding systems it is meant for adhesive filling therapy.
Shades: A1, A2, A3, A3.5, A4, B1, B2, B3, C2, C3, C4, D3, OA2, OA3, OA3.5, OB2, Incisal, SL, SLO
Thanks to Charisma's pronounced chameleon effect, patients' demands for aesthetically high-grade long-lasting restorations can be fulfilled.
Charisma is based on a matrix of Bis-GMA, various photoinitiators and TEGDMA. Charisma contains 78 percent by weight of organic fillers composed of X-ray opaque Microglass® (Ø 0.7 μm/ max. >2.0 μm) and highly dispersive silicon dioxide (0.01–0.07 μm/ Ø 0.04 μm).

Composition:
CHARISMA® is based on a BIS-GMA matrix and contains 58% filler (by volume), which is:
Barium aluminum fluoride glass (0.02–2 microns)
Highly dispersive Siliciumdioxyde (0.02–0.07 microns)
Type of application:
In order to prepare the treatment it is recommended to clean the hard dental substance by means of a polishing paste which is free of fluoride. Prior to starting the treatment the shades should be selected by means of the attached color
scale as long as the teeth are still humid. The Heraeus Kulzer Plasmacoat instrument as well as devices consisting of Wironit or plastic are specifically suitable for the application.
1. Preparation of the cavity according to the general regulations of composite filling therapy. Then clean and dry the cavity. It is recommended to use rubber dam.
2. Prior to applying the filling material to the cavity the application of an adequate adhesive system is required (e.g. GLUMA® Comfort Bond, GLUMA® Solid Bond, iBOND® Self Etch by Heraeus Kulzer). Avoid contamination of saliva.
3. Class I–II and V-cavities: Apply CHARISMA® to the cavity in thin layers (max. 2 mm) and adapt carefully to the cavity walls. In case of considerable discolouration cavity linings with CHARISMA® Opaque colors might become necessary.
4. Class III–IV-cavities: In case of anterior tooth cavities the setting-up of layers with an opaque nucleus often becomes necessary. CHARISMA® Opaque Colors are especially suitable for this purpose.
