Harmonize, a next-generation universal composite from Kerr, is infused with Adaptive Response Technology (ART) for enhanced strength and a lifelike appearance.

Kerr has announced the launch of Harmonize, a next-generation universal composite infused with Adaptive Response Technology (ART), a nanoparticle filler network with features that help dentists achieve lifelike restorations. It’s the ARTin Harmonize that creates enhanced structural integrity to provide strength, handling, and esthetics.

Harmonize is softer while sculpting, holds its shape without slumping, and does not have the stickiness of other composites due to the high loading, spherical shape, and rheological modifier of ART. The ART filler system allows for high loading at 81%, plus a reinforced nanoscale filler particle network, which leads to better polymerization, more integration with resin, strength, and durability.

Harmonize diffuses and reflects light similarly to human enamel, leading to a chameleon effect for blending. In addition, the particle size and structure is designed to offer superior gloss retention and easy polishability.

“Harmonize reflects the type of product innovation we are most proud of at Kerr—a superior product that makes the patient happier and the dentist’s day easier,” said Phil Prentice, vice president of North America for KaVo Kerr. “Our team is committed to the continuous improvement of even our best products and we think our customers will be thrilled with Harmonize.”
