The Next Evolution in Anterior Direct Restoration Finishing
Strength and beauty of Porcelain
The Duo:PCH system features preformed porcelain shells with an underlay of composite, designed to mimic the luster, smoothness, translucency and shade characteristics of real enamel and dentin. Porcelain finishing provides better resistance to staining and chipping and does not need to be polished or maintained like composite, providing a beautiful, lasting solution at an affordable price.
• More natural and lustrous than composite
• Strong (195 MPa) and easy to customize with hand piece
• Requires less polishing over time
• Pre-etched for efficient placement
Duo:PCH composite cement is specifically
formulated for the porcelain composite
hybrid technique. Its thick viscosity and
light cure properties allows for efficient
working time and enhanced build-up
support without drift. Available in multiple
shades: OM1, A1/B1, A2/B2, A3.5 to
blend with underlying dentition.
