"OPTIGLAZE is a nano-filled, light-cured, protective coating for composite and acrylic indirect composites. This product provides an aesthetic glossy surface on indirect composite restorations, artificial teeth, removable dentures, temporary crowns and individual acrylic trays. It can be used in difficult to polish areas such as posterior fissures or interproximal areas of indirect composite restorations. "

"OPTIGLAZE nano-filled, light-cured, protective coating for composite and acrylic indirect restorations is said to provide an esthetic glossy surface more quickly than manual polishing. It is suitable for use on indirect composite restorations, artificial teeth, removable dentures, temporary crowns and individual acrylic trays. It provides a 25 μm - 50 μm coating with no influence on the restoration color, is applied with a brush and light cures in 3 minutes."

"A dental restoration composite generally contains a photopolymerisable resin matrix, an inorganic filler, additives and colour pigments. Resins are traditionally bis-GMA, TEDMA and TEGDMA type polymers with variable viscosity. The filler consists of very fine particles of different sizes ranging from 0.01 to 50 µm, to enhance the mechanical properties of the composite"
