Shade Matching

Luna-Wing is designed to match the most popular shade guide in current dentistry.

Line-up for precise characteristics

The physical properties of dental materials are a crucial concern.
Luna-Wing is designed with an outstanding balance of dimension of fillers, filling rate, and adhesive strength of resin matrix and fillers. As a result, Luna-Wing exhibits high Vickers hardness and flexural strength, which decreases wear and polymerization shrinkage.

Abrasion Resistance for Everyday Comfort

Fluorescence of Natural teeth (upper) and Luna-Wing (lower)

Natural teeth exhibit fluorescence, emitting ultraviolet light.
Prostheses also need to exhibit the same characteristics. Luna-Wing is not simply given a generic form of fluorescence; rather, the fluorescence of natural teeth has been painstakingly achieved.

Red Plus Shade

Luna-Wing Red Plus Shade is able to express the reddish tones of natural teeth in the mouth.

Whitening Shade

Luna-Wing's A0 Shade is whiter than found in the normal shade guide.

The desire to have white teeth like fashion models and sport athletes is a given today, and teeth whitening is now a matter of course, especially among younger women. Luna-Wing is already responding to this trend. The A0 Shade of Luna-Wing is whiter than the A1 shade of the most commonly used shade guide.

Opaque Dentine

Example of Opaque Dentine

When the thickness of layering is not sufficient, an opaque color tends to be visible through Dentine, and reproduction of color tone is sometimes difficult. Luna-Wing has a range of Opaque Dentine which enables the required color tone to be expressed.

Turbidity Optically Stable

Comparison of turbidity

Many dental technicians have experienced the situation of crafting an artificial tooth, only to find that there is a visible line between the metal backing and the composite resin.
This is because natural light penetrates the incisal area and the metal frame becomes visible.
Luna-Wing exhibits natural transparency and optimal turbidity at the same time with naturally ref lected light. Even where sufficient thickness of layer has not been secured, light scatters through the composite resin and conceals the metal line.
