G-ænial Universal Flo Technical Manual
7.0 Shading
The shade system of G-ænial universal Flo has been developed following the same shade concept
used for G-ænial anterior. This allows the material to be used as a true filling material for all
indications.
Figure 12: Fifteen shades are available for G-ænial universal Flo
in order to achieve high aesthetic results, 15 shades are available in 3 clearly differentiated shade
groups:
• Standard shades: using these shades, a single shade restoration can be placed.
- Most of the Standard shades are following the Vitapan Shade Guide: a1, a2, a3, a3.5, a4, B1,
B2, B3, c3
- BW (Bleach White) is a unique bleach shade
- cV (cervical) is designed for cervical restorations
• Outside Special shades: For more elaborate techniques, and where aesthetic demands are
higher, two outside shades are available: JE (Junior Enamel) and AE (Adult Enamel). These
shades are placed over the standard shades. The shade selection follows the same age concept
as G-ænial A & P: Junior enamel is whiter with a higher value compared to Adult enamel.
• Inside Special Shades: aO2 and aO3. Placed underneath Standard shades when needed, these
provide opacity to mask dentin discolorations in posterior cavities and block the dark shine-
through sometimes observed in class iV cavities.
in most cases, 1 shade will be sufficient for the restoration.
