Product Information
matErIaL
Sr nexco Paste is a purely light-curing lab composite with micro-
opal fillers for framework-based and framework-free dental 
 restorations. 
as the desired shades can be reproduced even with varying layer 
thicknesses, a true-to-nature appearance can be achieved for 
fixed and removable dental restorations, even with artificial 
gingiva. the high content of inorganic opal fillers affords optimum 
benefits in terms of abrasion, discolouration, processing and surface 
gloss. 
Physical properties of
SR Nexco
Paste
together with the respective matrix the inorganic micro-opal fillers 
impart a homogeneous structure to the material. the balanced ratio 
between these two components results in outstanding physical 
properties achieved with the most popular polymerization units 
available on the market. 
Esthetic properties of
SR Nexco
Paste
In transmitted light, the full range of light-optical properties of 
Sr nexco Paste becomes evident: the opalescence and translucency 
of Sr nexco restorations correspond to the dynamic light effects of 
natural teeth. 
the light behaviour is very similar to that of natural teeth in all 
areas: the tooth neck, the dentin areas and the incisal area.
this image taken with incident light shows the fluorescence and 
luminosity of Sr nexco restorations. natural teeth derive a major 
part of their brightness effect from their fluorescence. this 
fluorescence plays an important role in the true-to-nature light 
behaviour of Sr nexco restorations.
