Ivoclar Vivadent | 4 Seasons | Physical Properties

4 Seasons is a fine particle micro-hybrid with an optimized filler/resin combination. This formulation maintains handling, physical and clinical performance reqiurements throughout the entire shade range. Even 4 Seasons Super Clear,
with a translucency of over 56%, achieves the same functional resistance and the same physical properties as the more opaque underlying dentin shades.

The non-sticky and non-slumping handling characteristics of 4 Seasons combined with extended working time,
gives you the ability to create beautiful esthetic restorations with ease. This chart depicts the working
time of a material exposed to ambient light under defined conditions. The higher value indicates that the material is less sensitive to ambient and dental operatory lights, thus providing the dentist with more time to create the restoration. 4 Seasons ranked the highest in this category.

Patented filler technologies allow 4 Seasons to be easily detected on dental x-rays. A high value indicates a
high degree of brightness on X-rays and therefore a stronger contrast to the surrounding dental hard tissue. This is particularly important in the Dentin materials, as it
facilitates the diagnosis of secondary caries. As a consequence, the radiopacity of 4 Seasons Dentin materials is higher than that of the other materials.

Wear is one of the parameters that influences the longevity of a restoration. Under these circumstances, enamel shades of 4 Seasons exhibit outstanding wear
resistance, making this a truly universal, anterior and posterior, composite material.

The even distribution of the filler particles along with their fine structure, produce a smooth surface that is easy to polish to a high gloss ensuring a smooth surface and sustained, natural luster over the life of the restoration.
