Interaction® ceramics are dental restorative materials that adapt to their environment like natural teeth. They have "blend-in dynamics" that allow the brightness and appearance of the restoration to change naturally based on surrounding light and colors. This makes the restoration look 100% natural. Using Interaction® ceramics and grading shades by brightness value rather than color group reduces errors and rejection of restorations on aesthetic grounds, saving costs.

3. All living things adapt to their environment.
So what is it that really brings artificial work to life?
The blend-in dynamics of Interaction®ceramics.
The blend-in dynamics ensure that the light
dynamics of the teeth are 100% natural.
The restoration, like natural teeth, adapts to
any and all circumstances.

4. First time right:

5. Using Interaction®ceramics with blend-in dynamics reduces
the chance that a restoration will be rejected on aesthetic
grounds, allowing dentists to use their time more
effectively.
If the 16V Shade guide is also graded and used according to
brightness values, failure
costs can even be reduced to zero!
First time right:

6. Grading according to brightness:

7. Mistakes often occur due to the way in which the 16V
Shadeguide is usually arranged; in four colour groups. The
alternative means of grading, which has shown more
chance of success, relates to brightness:

8. Elephant has developed a new holder, the Interaction® Value
Guide, to replace the old one.
Together with the unique characteristics of the blend-in
strategy, this method contributes to 100% aesthetic
acceptance of the restoration. It is right the first time.
Interaction® Value Guide:

9. Two experts. One team:

10. It is the expertise of both the dentist and dental technician
that ultimately results in satisfied
patients. The blend-in dynamics strategy helps this team to
excel in their field in two ways.
On the one hand, the restoration blends in fully with its
surroundings, while, on the other,
grading according to brightness ensures better collective color
reference.
Two experts. One team:

11. With Interaction®ceramics, you can carry out every indicated
restoration. Whether it involves
veneers, inlays, onlays, crowns or
bridges, Interaction®ceramics has the solution.
Use your preferred substructure material or those
indicated, such as zirconia, precious metals and cobalt chrome
alloys. Interaction®ceramics can be applied to all
substructure materials.

12. Life is all about adaptation:

13. ‘Blend-in dynamics’ is an optical characteristic of
Interaction®ceramics developed and patented by
Elephant Dental.
The core layers of the ceramics, like the natural
elements, alter the brightness of the crown under the
influence of changing light.
This is what really brings artificial work in the mouth to life.

14. Life is all about adaptation:

15. ‘Blend-in dynamics’ is an optical characteristic of
Interaction®ceramics developed and patented by
Elephant Dental.
At the same time, the transparent outer layers influence the
appearance of the crown by adapting and diffusing the
surrounding colors and light as well as allowing them to pass
through. Again, like natural elements do.
This is what really brings artificial work in the mouth to life.

16. Interaction solutions:

17. In addition to the aesthetic certainty offered by
Interaction®ceramics solutions, the combination with
Elephant substructure materials also provides the security of
synergetic product combinations. As a result, the
manufactured restorations meet all technical and clinical
requirements.
‘Blend-in dynamics´ refers to the capacity of
Interaction®ceramics to display natural light and color
behaviour in a restoration.
Interaction solutions:

18. Due to Interaction the restoration behaves like a natural
element in the mouth. This reduces the chance that a
restoration will be rejected on aesthetic grounds, thus saving
costs.
If, in combination with Interaction®ceramics, the Vitapan®
classical A1–D4 Shade Guide or Vita Lumin® Vacuum A1–D4
Shade Guide is graded and used according to brightness
values, failure costs can be reduced to zero. Elephant has
developed a new holder for this: the Interaction® Value Guide
Interaction solutions:

19. The effect is based on the fact that
a) the brightness of the crown can change due to the optical
properties of the core layers;
b) the appearance of the crown is more natural because the
transparent outer layer absorbs and reflects the
surrounding colors and light as well as allowing them to
pass through.
This means that the restoration behaves like a natural element
in the mouth.
