Product Review
 It comes in 12 shades (A1, A2, A3, A3.5,
B-Zero, B1, C3, D2, D3, SB3, light incisal, and medium
incisal) in either 0.25 g single use compules or 5
g syringes. Renamel Nano can be combined with
Cosmedent’s other product, Renamel Microfill, but
it is designed to be used alone.
Polishability
The manufacturer of Renamel Nano states that
the material polishes to a high luster. When the 6
dentists who evaluated Renamel Nano were asked to
rate the polishability of the material, 100% of them
rated it as excellent. One evaluator summed it up by
saying that the polishability is “Fantastic!”
Match to Tooth Structure
According to information provided by the manufacturer,
the translucency of Renamel Nano allows it
to blend well to tooth structure without compromising
the opacity of the natural dentition.
The evaluators were first asked how important
match to tooth structure is when choosing a composite.
Four evaluators said this criteria is very important
and 2 said it is important. They were then asked
to rate the match to tooth structure of this nano
composite. Five evaluators rated Renamel Nano as
excellent for match to tooth structure and 1 rated it
as very good. One evaluator commented
that he “really enjoyed the opacity of
the body composite for those big fractures.”
Another said, “Excellent match
to tooth structure.”
Esthetics
Cosmedent describes Renamel
Nano as a “true universal.” The manufacturer
claims that the material can be
used successfully in Class I through V
restorations for both anterior and posterior
restorations.
The dentist evaluators were asked
about the importance of esthetics when
choosing a new composite. Four said
esthetics are very important and 2 said
they are important. When they were
then asked to rate the esthetics of
Renamel Nano, 5 rated the product as
excellent and 1 rated it as very good.
One of the dentists described the
esthetics as “very good. One of the best
I’ve seen.”
Margination
According to Cosmedent, Renamel
Nano feathers nicely along the margins.
The manufacturer also says that
the combination of translucency and
fluorescence in this product causes the
composite/enamel border to disappear
when the material is polished. When
the evaluators were asked to rate this
nanocomposite on margination, 4
rated it excellent and 2 rated it very
good to good. One evaluator commented
that the product “blended nicely
with enamel.”
Sculptability
Renamel Nano is 80% filled and,
according to Cosmedent, does not
slump when handling because of ultrasmall
nanofillers. These small fillers
increase filler loading, which adds
strength. Cosmedent says that the product
is easy to place and manipulate,
even when carving detailed anatomy. In
addition, the sculptability of the material
reduces the amount of time needed
during finishing.
When the evaluators were asked to
rate the sculptability of Renamel Nano,
3 rated it as excellent, 2 rated it as very
good, and 1 rated it as good. One evaluator
said that he was “able to sculpt
with the material very well.” Some of
the evaluators did note that they found
the material to be sticky.
Overall Satisfaction
At the end of the evaluation, the
evaluators were asked to give their
overall satisfaction rating for Renamel
Nano. Four of the evaluators rated it
excellent and 2 rated it good. One evaluator
said, “I am very impressed with
the material.”
Breakthrough Light-Cured
Nanofill Composite
Renamel Nano applies
quickly and easily and
offers a much better
value per gram than
other leading nanofill
composites.
Renamel Nano has been reformulated to offer improved handling
capabilities. At 82% filler content, Renamel Nano is
the most filled universal composite on the market, offering
superior wear resistance and the highest esthetic properties. Renamel
Nano was designed by Cosmedent’s award-winning team of polymer
chemists for dentists who want to work with a single composite in
both the anterior and posterior but do not want to compromise on
the end esthetic result.
Renamel Nano is easy to place and manipulate, especially when
carving finely detailed anatomy, without the risk of pullback or
slumping. Along the margins, Renamel Nano feathers easily, and the
combination of ideal translucency and fluorescence means the composite/
enamel interface disappears when polished.
Indications for use include Class I through Class V restorations,
diastema closure, full color change veneers, building up incisal edges,
developing canine rise, and all types of esthetic restorations both
anterior and posterior. Ideally matched to the Vita shade guide,
Renamel Nano is available in 12 esthetic shades—A1, A2, A3, A3.5,
B-Zero, B1, C3, D2, D3, SB3, Light Incisal, and Medium Incisal.
