VOCO nano-hybrid composite receives top marks from the Dental Advisor. The committee also granted this product the title 'Editors' Choice'. The clinical evaluation of this product was based on 132 restorations placed in 76 patients. Even one year after the Grandio fillings had been placed in the cavities, they still retained their appearance. After 12 months, the clinical aspects and aesthetics of 94% of the fillings remained perfect. Especially the optical properties of Grandio are impressive: the Dental Advisor testers determined that thanks to its translucency, Grandio adapts well to the shade of the adjacent teeth to create optimum aesthetics. No filling was seen to have discoloured. Not only the aesthetics, but also the handling properties were compelling: in spite of its high filler content of 87% by weight and the resulting physical advantages such as strength, polymerisation shrinkage (1.57%) and abrasion-resistance, nano-composite is very supple, easily contoured and is non-sticky.
