Designed to work together, the easy-handling, non-sticky GRADIA DIRECT family
of premier composites:
•
Employs the latest in micro and nano technologies
•
Offers unmatched handling
•
Features natural, lifelike coloring and characteristics
•
Blends into the surrounding tooth structure to create stunning restorations

Bis-GMA Resins
UDMA
Polymerization Shrinkage Stress (MPa)
GRADIA DIRECT’s unique UDMA resin system
absorbs polymerization shrinkage stress, reducing
latent energy on bonding interfaces. Reduced
interface stress helps protect margin integrity for
longer lasting, gap free restorations and also
minimizes post-operative sensitivity.

Handling
DENTISTRY BY
DR. R. NASH
GRADIA DIRECT provides superior handling capabilities, with
anterior shades that sculpt readily and posterior shades that
offer exceptional strength and body. With plenty of working
time, even in strong ambient light, its non-stick formula allows
you to easily sculpt, shape and contour with unmatched artistry
and precision.
GRADIA DIRECT

Natural looking —
a perfect match
Beauty
GRADIA DIRECT attains natural reflectivity through the use of a
multifaceted tooth-like particle structure, providing your restorations with
true-to-life color while rendering them virtually undetectable compared to
other restoratives.
The amount of each element and its particle size distribution has been
carefully chosen so that when added together, many different interfaces
occur with different reflective properties. The result is internal reflectivity
and optical properties that replicate that of natural teeth.
Ordinary restoratives are
made up of a simple particle
structure (x10,000).
GRADIA DIRECT
features a diverse, tooth-like
particle structure (x10,000).
Single Shade Simplicity
Class II
GRADIA® DIRECT is so easy to use that 90% of
restorations can be completed with just one shade.
GRADIA DIRECT not only picks up the color and
matches the surrounding teeth, it becomes esthetically
“invisible” compared to other restoratives.

Class IV
For more complex cases, GRADIA DIRECT features
a simple-to-use Shade Guide (based on the VITAPAN
Classical Shades) that includes unique, 4-step tabs to help
you judge the influence of material thickness on a
particular shade. By positioning one shade thickness over
another, you can easily gauge the effect of shade layering.

GRADIA® DIRECT X
A New
Universal Composite
Restoring the X-Factor
GRADIA® DIRECT X simplifies your esthetic
restorations by combining ease of handling and
extreme durability with high polishability for
improved radiopacity and translucency — resulting
in a more universal composite.
Plus, GRADIA DIRECT X offers your patients
excellent wear resistance and a natural feel for
added comfort. And it won't wear away opposing
enamel, either.

The GRADIA DIRECT X difference is found in its
new nanofiller, which is made of a lanthanide
element, to block X-rays, but not visible light. The
result is a nearly 60% increase in radiopacity, as well
as increased translucency, giving you a much more
universal product that's effective in treating virtually
any patient.
Gradia Direct X’s low modulus absorbs stress
while minimizing opposing enamel wear.

GRADIA® DIRECT
Flowables
GRADIA DIRECT's line of flowables features excellent handling characteristics and high fluoride release,
which improves the resistance of teeth to acidic attack to help prevent secondary decay.
GRADIA® DIRECT LoFlo
Specifically designed for easy handling upon placement into the proximal box and
35
dentin, GRADIA DIRECT LoFlo provides 55% less shrinkage than the leading
flowable composite on the market, while remaining highly wear-resistant. Its unique
filler offers increased polishability and radiopacity. Plus, LoFlo is also a great
30
60-second sealant when used over GC G-BOND™.

GRADIA® DIRECT Flo
GRADIA DIRECT Flo is a highly flowable, fluoride-releasing composite designed to
work in conjunction with GRADIA DIRECT. It offers balanced physical properties,
low-viscosity/high-flow characteristics and direct 20
application. Use it as a liner/base or
sealant, for tunnel preps, or to block out undercuts and restore imperfections.

G-BOND™ – Effective in all conditions
The perfect complement to the GRADIA DIRECT family, G-BOND is the one-component, one-coat
advanced 7th generation bonding system. G-BOND gives you a strong, long-lasting bond between
light-cured composites, enamel and dentin in all surface conditions. And unlike earlier-generation
bonding agents, G-BOND is an all-in-one etch-desensitize-prime-bond system that is not technique
sensitive and never requires any mixing.
G-BOND
MPa
Wet or dry, one-step, one-coat G-BOND
creates a consistently reliable bonding
interface that locks onto dentin and
enamel in all surface conditions.
