Levels of transluency
Venus Diamond offers three translucency levels: The opaque dentine shades (e.g. OLC, OMC, ODC and OXDC) have the lowest translucency in the respective ranges. These shades with increased colour intensity are used to cover amalgam tattoos and discoloured teeth and restore dark class V cases. The universal shades (Vita shades, A.., B.., C.., D..) possess colour intensities of medium translucency and are available in a large range. They can be used without additional layering or can be combined with opaque dentine and incisal shades to achieve aesthetically pleasing results. The incisal shades are the crowning glory, offering utmost transparency and minimum colour intensity. They form the enamel layer.
