In this video, cosmetic dentist, Dr Richard Coates, talks through the properties he looks for in a composite material and why he switched to Ecosite Elements.
Composite resin has become a popular material in smile transformations, to the point where patients are coming to practices requesting the treatment. Using the right skills and techniques, dentists are able to perfect smiles by masking crooked teeth, closing diastemas, repairing trauma, changing morphology, and much more.
Smile makeovers carried out in this way are minimally invasive, as no (or relatively little) tooth structure is removed, with the added bonus that the results are immediate. With more and more patients wanting their results straight away, composite bonding is becoming to go-to treatment for many.
Good composite restorations require a combination of skill from the practitioner, coupled with excellent properties from the material used. Therefore, the material must offer an array of benefits that enable the practitioner to confidently provide exceptional results every time.
As a modern composite system, Ecosite Elements offers you a quick and intuitive colour concept – for straightforward standard cases through to aesthetically challenging restorations. The colour combination consisting of three modules enables natural aesthetics geared towards the tooth.
Intelligent shade system
Whether it’s used on anterior or posterior teeth, as a monochromatic solution or in the layering technique – Ecosite Elements enables fast restorations with natural results, thanks to the convincing chameleon effect. The PURE, LAYER and HIGHLIGHT modules enable universal use and a high level of customisation.
PURE: A1, A2, A3, A3.5, A4 – Your universal composite for direct restorations in the anterior and posterior region. With the five most popular VITA shades for everyday practice.
LAYER: EB, EL, EM, ED – The complement to PURE for aesthetically challenging restorations.
HIGHLIGHT: INC, OA2, W, B – Four flow highlight shades for customisation and masking discolourations.
Maximum variety of combinations for every shade and every technique
The combination options of the intelligent shade system and its particularly high-quality characteristics enable treatment across the entire range of indications.
For anterior or posterior regions, monochromatic or layer technique – Ecosite Elements will never fail to impress you with its rapid and spectacular high-gloss polish and stunning chameleon effect.

Unique handling – reliable flow with excellent modelling properties
Thanks to the Push-and-Flow effect, the material adjusts according to the situation and needs. It is firm at the outset, and quickly becomes noticeably softer during modelling. This enables secure adaptation to the cavity walls and the precise reproduction of anatomical features.
Easy polishing – highly aesthetic results and a long-lasting shine
Ecosite Elements makes everyday work easier thanks to the NC1 (‘non-clustering’) technology developed by DMG, because the precise silanisation of individual fillers enables a particularly homogeneous distribution.
Whether it’s in the anterior or the posterior region – the material can be optimally worked and polished at maximum speed.
