Gingiva Aesthetics: How to Create Natural-Looking Gingival with Composite in the Laboratory

In the field of cosmetic dentistry, pink gums play a crucial role in achieving a perfect smile. Recreating pink gums with composite requires not only the skill of lab technicians but also high-quality materials. In this article, we will introduce SR Nexco – an optical aesthetic composite from Ivoclar – along with the essential steps to create the most natural-looking pink gums.

Why Choose SR Nexco?

SR Nexco is a lab-use optical composite with outstanding aesthetic properties, offering a diverse range of colors suitable for various pink gingival restoration cases. Key highlights include:

Steps to Create Pink Gums with SR Nexco Composite

  1. Choosing the Right Color

Choosing the right color is the first and most critical step. SR Nexco offers a comprehensive color palette, including shades such as G1–G5, IG1–IG4, BG34, and SR Nexco stains, to achieve a consistent and natural gum appearance.

  1. Surface Preparation

Before applying the composite, the working surface must be thoroughly cleaned and prepared to meet the appropriate roughness requirements. Use SR Link or SR Connect to create a bond between the gum restoration material and the composite.

  1. Layering the Pink Gingiva Composite

To achieve a natural gum effect, SR Nexco composite should be layered gradually, combining different shades. Start with a base layer of BG34, then blend with other gum shades to create a lifelike effect.

  1. Adding Natural Effects

Use tools to create grooves or vascular effects on the gingials for the most natural appearance. This technique requires experience to achieve optimal results.

  1. Final Surface Finishing

After applying the composite, the surface should be polished with Universal Polishing Paste to ensure long-lasting shine and effectiveness.

Conclusion

Creating natural-looking pink gingival in the lab demands high precision and quality aesthetic materials. Ivoclar’s SR Nexco is an ideal choice, optimizing the workflow and delivering superior aesthetic results.
