grandio® is significantly more fracture-

resistant than conventional composites.

VOCO is not the holder of the mentioned trademarks.

Extremely high surface hardness due to the use of

nano-fillers and high filler degree (87% by weight).

Due to its high filler degree, grandio® exhibits

more tooth-like thermal expansion behavior for

long-term marginal integrity and reduced hot-cold

sensitivity.

grandio® exhibits much lower levels of shrinkage

than conventional composites.

Filler

According to manufacturers data.

Small nano fillers make a big difference!

Grandio’s Nano Technology leads to enormous clinical benefits

Conventional filler technology creates its particles by

grinding down large pieces of glass ceramic into fine

powders. The lower limit of particles obtainable by

grinding is approx. 0.5 µm or 500 nm. In a conventional

composite, the space between these particles is filled

with resin. Thus, a typical universal restorative has a

filler degree of around 77% w/w. Since polymerization

shrinkage only occurs in the resin matrix, a higher

filler degree would reduce shrinkage. Yet, higher filler

degrees make the materials more difficult to handle

and may lead to enclosures of air bubbles when

applying them in the depth of a cavity.

A material that promises a smooth consistency for

easy handling, adaptation and modeling, plus low

shrinkage values, seems to have been a very elusive

Recently, restoratives using nano technology have

been introduced. The nano particles used in grandio

are silicon dioxide filler particles grown from a liquid

in a sol-gel process to a size of 20 to 60 nm. The

surfaces of these particles are then functionalized

to provide cross-linking capabilities. These nano

particles have the following amazing properties:

• they are not visible to the human eye

• they behave rather like liquids

• they can cross-link after surface modification

• they offer incredibly large surfaces

Currently, nano technology is used in different approa-

ches: e.g. one manufacturer uses nano particles

and nano clusters to produce a restorative aimed at

anterior restorations; an other approach is to combine

nano particles with traditional glass ceramic filler

particles to obtain a high-performance universal

restorative. Here, the traditional fillers form a hard

net work and the nano particles fill the spaces bet-

ween them. This maximizes the packing density and

leaves less resin within the filler/resin matrix. VOCO

has chosen the latter approach for its universal

nano-hybrid composite grandio.

The ratio of resin to fillers determines the physical

properties of the restorative. grandio combines nano

scaled particles with conventional sized glass ceramic

fillers of a select size range. The result: an extremely

high filler loading of 87% by weight, (71.4% by vol)

with an extremely low resin content. This successful

combination leads to grandio’s outstanding physical

properties. grandio out performs the strength of a

hybrid and sets a new standard in surface hardness,

wear and fracture resistance.

Single Shade Simplicity via enhanced translucency

A nano particle is so small that it cannot be seen with

the naked eye. In fact, it is so small that a nano

particle can pass through a beam of visible light

without causing it to diffract. This perfect translu-

cency affords excellent esthetic properties for the

clinician. grandio has a very high degree of trans-

lucency, allowing the clinician to achieve natural,

vital esthetics using only ONE shade! The Shade

Simplicity concept results in fewer shades to store

for the clinician without any esthetic compromise

for the patients.

VOCO has chosen a “Single Shade Simplicity” ap-

proach when it comes to the available shade range.

In general, most clinicians actually solve all their

esthetic cases with 6 to 8 shades grandio offers a

practical choice of 16 shades in either syringes or

Caps. The shade range offers 14 translucent inclu-

ding bleach, incisial shade and 2 opaque shades.

High polish and color retention

Due to small nano fillers, grandio has the high gloss

polishability of a micro filled composite, but without

the physical compromises. grandio’s 30-50% less

resin content compared to micro hybrids gives the

material long term polish and color retention.

Resin is used for all composite manufacturing. Re-

sin is also the primary cause for such concerns as:

polymerization shrinkage, extrinsic staining and free

radicals/ residual monomers. grandio reduces these

problems to a nominal level. The 87% filler content

of grandio results in a nominal resin content of 13%.

This is 30–50% less resin than most micro-hybrids.

grandio has only 1.57% shrinkage, less staining and

a much higher level of biocompatibility.

When hearing about Grandio’s filler degree of 87% w/w,

almost every general practitioner expects to find an

extremely hard material of amalgam-like consistency.

Due to the liquid-like behavior of the nano particles,

however, Grandio is smoother than most conventional

micro-hybrids without slumping. Grandio will not stick

to instruments, thereby avoiding a “pull-back effect.”

Even extruding caps/compules do not require the force

one might expect. Modelling and shaping are easy with

any composite instrument. Polishing and grinding re -

veals the extreme hardness of the material to the dentist

and is best done with diamond-based burs and polishers.

The short light-curing time of 20 seconds with a

standard halogen curing unit saves time. grandio is

also suitable for LED lights. Moreover, grandio is

compatible with all conventional bonding agents.
