This new gingiva-shaded, composite-based restoration system facilitates individual shade-matching using a combination of a base shade (nature) with three mixable opaque shades in white, light and dark. The result is a represent-tation of the gingiva that appears natural. Through this principle, behind which the proven Amaris-know how stands, extensively exposed cervical areas caused by gingival recession and wedge-shaped defects in the cervical area can be controlled in the future, both func-tionally and aesthetically. With Amaris Gingiva, the high standard placed on the capacity of modern composites no longer has to end at the cervical boundary. This new material permits the reconstruction of the "red-white" boundary with a predictable result.
