A New Take on

Universal Composite

Transcend composite allows you to complete restorations with just one shade, no blocker needed. Thanks to Ultradent’s Resin Particle Match™ technology, Transcend composite’s Universal Body shade blends with almost any tooth color, allowing you to use one shade for the majority of restorations. Plus, Transcend composite features ideal handling for manipulation and sculptability.

Restores Deep Staining from Amalgam Tattooing

Deep staining from amalgam tattooing presents one of the most difficult restoration situations to clinicians. In this case only the Transcend composite Universal Body shade was used to replace the amalgam, no blocker needed. Note the excellent color blending of the preserved oblique ridge.

Transcend Before and After

No staining or layering was needed

Patient presented with discolored and defective distal buccal tooth color restoration on tooth #11 and mesial buccal on #12. Secondary caries beneath #12. Gingival recession caused the black triangle space seen.

Defective restoration and caries were removed. Darker-yellowish dentin can be seen at the cervical area. Translucent enamel present.

The preparation was etched and bonded per manufacturers’ instructions, then Transcend composite Universal Body shade was placed to reduce interdental space. Transcend composite is able to mimic surrounding tooth color. No staining or layering was needed.

Preparations filled with Transcend Composite

Young patient with a broad smile presented with interproximal caries on her maxillary premolars. Great color match using Transcend composite Universal Body shade.

Transcend Before and After

Both teeth were restored with the same single shade composite

20-year-old failed composite restorations on teeth #19 and #18. Note the microleakage on the margins between the restoration and the teeth in both cases. Proximal boxes on tooth #19 were considerably deeper than the Class I preparation on tooth #18.

Both teeth were restored with the same single shade composite, Transcend composite Universal Body shade. Note the perfect integration between composite and tooth structure in both teeth, despite the difference in depth presented in each situation. No blocker or any other composite color was used.

Tooth restored using Transcend composite Universal Body shade

Patient presented with recurrent decay on amalgam restoration on tooth #28. Tooth was restored using Transcend composite Universal Body shade. No opaquer was used as Transcend composite Universal Body shade had enough opacity to cover amalgam tattooing while blending in with the natural tooth color.

Transcend composite mimics surrounding tooth structure

Patient presented with occlusal caries/defective restoration on tooth #13 and occlusal caries on #14. Caries and defective restoration removed and preparations filled with Transcend composite. No stains were used in the final image in order to show how closely Transcend composite mimics surrounding tooth structure.

Faulty restorations removed and replaced

Patient presented with breaking down/leaking amalgam fillings. Faulty restorations removed and replaced with Transcend composite Universal Body shade for optimal esthetics.

Transcend Before and After

Composite was adjusted and polished up beautifully

Patient presented with a failing composite restoration. Filling was removed, which revealed tattooing and a mesial crack. The mesial crack was still a small, manageable size and therefore a direct bonded restoration could be done instead of an indirect crown restoration. Products used: Ultra-Etch etchant, Consepsis solution, and Peak Universal Bond adhesive. A very thin layer of A3 PermaFlo flowable composite was used for the initial layer. Transcend composite Universal Body shade was used to restore the tooth. Composite was adjusted according to occlusion and polished up beautifully.

The Simplest

Shade System Yet

For cases that require a layering technique, or if you prefer to layer your composite, Transcend composite also includes six layering shades: four dentin shades and two enamel shades. It is our most simplified system yet.

The Universal Body shade has amazing chameleon-like properties and doesn't require a blocker. I use it for the vast majority of my fillings. For those demanding cosmetic situations, the simple dentin and enamel shades allow for layering and give incredible results. Another home run product for Ultradent.

Transcend is a high-quality, no-compromise material that is a true universal shade-matching composite resin. It will become the workhorse product for your posterior composites, Class Vs, and many anterior restorations. It provides a high-quality result in a timely and cost-effective manner with excellent shade matching.

The clinicians who know me, know I am a faithful Vit-l-escence™ user. I like to place multiple layers for great esthetics whether I am restoring anterior or posterior teeth. However, there are times when I have felt it would be great to be able to just place one shade and not feel as though I have compromised the case. Transcend has accomplished this for me. I have been amazed at the beautiful case outcomes with just a single shade. I like having the simple 6 additional shade offerings for those cases where layering may be able to improve the result. With the Universal Body shade plus the dentin and enamel shades, I can cover about 90 percent of my cases.

Transcend has been an exciting addition to my daily clinical practice. We all want our dentistry to look as natural and as esthetic as possible while providing high-quality, long-lasting results. Transcend makes it quick and easy to match the shade for my patients. Transcend not only improves the final result but it also saves time and reduces stress because I can feel confident my shade match is going to be great!

Transcend Compules

It's Not Magic

It's Science

When we created Resin Particle Match™ technology, we worked to make the refractive indices of the resin and the filler particles similar to each other so Transcend composite Universal Body shade is able to take on the shade of surrounding dentition. The refractive index is a ratio that describes the speed of light through a material. This ratio determines how we perceive color. When the refractive index is tuned to the filler particles, the composite is better able to reflect the shade of the tooth around it.

Not only does the Resin Particle Match technology allow for a better chameleon effect, but thanks to careful opacity tuning, Transcend composite provides better overall esthetics and, unlike most of the competition, you don’t need a blocker shade. Transcend's unique opacity tuning helps it look better in larger restorations.
