Owing to Adaptive Response Technology, Harmonize helps clinicians achieve lifelike restorations with more ease and simplicity than previously possible. Launching in Europe at IDS 2017, the nano-hybrid composite provides better blending capabilities and enhanced structural integrity for strong and aesthetic results without compromise. Dr Brian Harris, one of North America’s leading educators in cosmetic dentistry, recently brought Harmonize into his practice. In this interview, he shares his experience.
Kerr: How has Harmonize made your practice workflow more effective?
Dr Brian Harris: In my practice, the most valuable resource is my time. If I can use my time wisely and find ways to be more productive, it is the quickest means of increasing overall profit in the practice. Anterior composites, and composites in general, can be extremely profitable if one is working with a predictable material that does exactly what one wants it to.
When I redo a resin filling because of poor colour match or add additional material to a void, my productivity decreases substantially. The Adaptive Response Technology in Harmonize, along with the colour options, allows me to get it right the first time.
In your experience, what are the top three return-on-investment benefits for dentists using Harmonize in their practices?
My top three benefits for Harmonize are the following:
1. Mouldability and ability to sculpt—I have never seen anything like it. It allows me to get the exact shape I want on the first try.
2. The colour truly does have a chameleon effect. It is not too opaque and not too translucent—the properties are the best I have seen for obtaining a good colour match.
3. More anterior resin work always leads to more veneer cases, so it allows me to open the window of opportunity to discuss more-complex cosmetic cases with my patients.
What makes Harmonize stand out from other universal composites in the market?
I have never actually worked with a universal composite that I can use both in the posterior and the anterior until now with Harmonize. I think that is what really makes it stand out. I no longer have to have several different types of composite—one composite can be used for both procedures.
