• “Good consistency and esthetic results.”

Venus Pearl is a light-cured, universal, radiopaque, nano-hybrid composite based on the urethane monomer chemistry of Venus Diamond. According to the manufacturer, Venus Pearl provides the same combination of low shrinkage stress and increased durability as Venus Diamond with a creamier consistency for fine detailed work with excellent sculptability and polishability. Venus Pearl is suitable for all classes of anterior and posterior restorations. Venus Pearl is designed to produce a durable, highly esthetic result with a long-lasting high luster polish. Venus Pearl is available in both syringe and unit dose (PLT) delivery in 27 shades including two new shades: GUM, a pink translucent shade for gingival recession areas, and CORE, a green core build up material for easy identification with a 3 mm depth of cure. Venus Pearl should be light cured 20-40 seconds per 2 mm increment. The basic kits contain either 30 PLT’s or six syringes of composite, a 2 mL bottle of iBond Total Etch and accessories. The master’s kit contains all 27 shades. Venus Pearl was evaluated by 28 consultants in 833 uses. This universal composite received a 91% clinical rating. Product Features
