Estelite COLOR from Tokuyama Dental is a flowable, light-cured material for adding individualized characterization to direct and indirect composite restorations.

For the incisal edge:

• Blue – for "young" teeth; 
• Clear – for characterizing inter-mamelon spaces;
• White – for characterizing mamelons, simulating hypoplasia and fluorosis white spots; 
• Gray – to enhance the translucency of the incisal edge of "mature" enamel; 
• Lavender – to simulate wear facets in elderly patients.

For occlusal surfaces:

• Ochre – to highlight small depressions;
• Dark-Brown – fissures and cracks, intensive staining of lines;
• Lavender – to simulate wear facets in elderly patients.

To enhance dentin color saturation:

• Yellow , Ochre , Red  – can be mixed in various proportions;
• White – for direct bleach veneers.

To increase the translucency of other stains:

• Clear – in combination with another shade.

For gingival simulation: Red

Opaque shades for masking discolorations (help block color changes):

• Low Chroma Opaque (LCO) – low-intensity opaque for shade range A1, B1, C1, and bleached teeth:
• Medium Chroma Opaque (MCO) – medium-intensity opaque for shade range A2, B2, D2, C2:
• High Chroma Opaque (HCO) – high-intensity opaque for shade range A3, B3, D3, C3, and darker.

Shade that neutralizes "greyness": Pink Opaque.

Application method:

• Carefully apply Estelite COLOR using a fine-tipped instrument or a thin brush to the area requiring characterization of the tooth's anatomical feature. Maximum layer thickness – 0.5 mm (Dark-Brown – 0.05 mm). 
• Light cure for 30 seconds
• Estelite COLOR is applied under or between layers of the composite restoration. This protects the stain from wear and creates a beautiful optical effect.
