Demo: Using a chameleon resin composite in a class I restoration (VIDEO)

Joshua Austin, DDS, MAGD, doesn't layer his direct restorations with different opacities of resin composite. For posterior restorations, he typically doesn't even take a shade. That's why he was excited to find Omnichroma by Tokuyama, a new chameleon resin composite material that generates its shade based on the surrounding tooth color.

Watch this video to see him use Omnichroma for a class I restoration.
