Tokuyama Palfique LX5: A Palette of Possibilities for Aesthetic Dentistry

Tokuyama Palfique LX5 is a highly esthetic light-cured composite resin that delivers exceptional results in anterior and posterior restorations. Its unique formulation, featuring Supra-Nano Spherical (Same Size & Same Shape) fillers, a wide shade range and shade-matching (chameleon-effect) , allows dentists to achieve restorations with NATURAL SHADE AND GLOSS that blend seamlessly with the surrounding dentition.

In Vitro studies have demonstrated the superior polishability of Palfique LX5 compared to other leading composite resins. This translates into a smoother surface and higher gloss retention, contributing to the material’s aesthetic appeal.

Clinical trials have shown that Palfique LX5 exhibits excellent wear resistance and marginal integrity, ensuring the longevity of these restorations.

Biocompatibility:

The biocompatibility of Palfique LX5 has also been confirmed through cytotoxicity and sensitization tests, making it a safe choice for patients

Outstanding Esthetics:

• Supra-Nano Spherical Fillers: These fillers with SAME SHAPE & SAME SIZE have a smoother surface texture and excellent gloss retention since they are smaller and more homogeneous than conventional fillers. This results in restorations that appear natural and life-like – recreating the NATURAL SHADE & GLOSS of the teeth..
• Extensive Shade Matching Range: Palfique LX5 is available in eleven (11) hues, making it possible to match the natural tooth color (shade & gloss) of every patient exactly.
• Excellent Opacity and Translucency: The material has inherent light-scattering qualities that replicate the opacity of dentin and the translucency of enamel for a realistic look.

Superior Performance:

• R.A.P. Technology or Radical Amplified-Photopolymerization Technology

• Fast Curing Time: Palfique LX5 cures in just 10 seconds, significantly reducing chair time.
• Extended Working Time: The material offers a working time of 90 seconds, allowing for precise placement and manipulation.

• High Wear Resistance: The Supra-Nano Spherical (Same Size & Same Shape) Fillers and optimized resin matrix provide excellent wear resistance, ensuring long-term durability of the restorations.

Easy to Use:

• Non-Sticky Consistency: The material has a non-sticky consistency that facilitates easy handling and placement.
• Syringe Delivery: Palfique LX5 is available in convenient syringes for easy application and minimal waste.

A Spectrum of Shades for Natural Beauty

Palfique LX5 boasts of an impressive eleven (11) syringe shade portfolio*, categorized into three groups:

Enamel Shades:

• A1, A2, A3, A3.5: These shades are ideal for replicating the natural color and translucency of enamel. Offers natural-looking translucency.

Dentin Shades:

• OPA2 (Opaquer A2): It is primarily used for masking and creating a bright base (think CLASS III/IV and CLASS 1&2. It’s not ideal for situations where you want to preserve the natural translucency of the tooth.
• OPALESCENT SHADES (OA1, OA2, OA3): Its balance of opacity and translucency (opalescence) makes it more versatile. It can be used for masking mild to moderate discoloration, restoring teeth with a naturally warm shade, and creating a slightly warm base for anterior restorations while still allowing some natural light to shine through. These are A-shades with slight opacity.

Bleach Shade:

• NEW SNOWHITE (SW): SW is the lightest shade available in the Palfique LX5 range, offering a super white hue ideal for achieving a dramatically brighter smile. It is also highly opaque. It is perfect for young patients or those seeking a significantly whiter esthetic.
• BLEACH WHITE (BW): This shade is formulated for bleached teeth, offering a brighter and more luminous appearance.
• WHITE ENAMEL (WE): This shade offers a lighter sdhade compared to A1 but not as bright as the BW.
