MARK3® Introduces Chroma Chameleon™ One Shade Composite

The product is intended to produce natural-looking esthetic restorations across the VITA A1‑D3 shade spectrum.
Clinical Insight
A single‑shade composite that truly adapts to varied tooth colors could streamline shade selection and inventory management in daily practice.
Practice Takeaway
Consider evaluating whether a universal shade composite meets your esthetic requirements and could reduce the number of shade bottles you keep on hand.
