The Kiss product line offers veneers material for crowns and bridges with frameworks made of zirconia or dental alloys as well as metal copings. Whether Duceram Kiss, Duceragold Kiss or Cercon ceram kiss – all these lines represent the Kiss system and were designed to make your work as easy as possible. Switching between the framework materials is thus no longer a problem and requires no training or familiarization period.
No extra training cost or learning curve when switching from one framework material to another.
A patented manufacturing process for Kiss opal powders ensure intact opalescence. Optimized shade pigments enhance the shade fidelity of Kiss.
Secure processing using a simple layering system for basic and customized build-ups.
Easy processing of different framework materials possible in the same patient case.
The accurate categorization of the initial and intensive powders, the tinted opaque and dentins as well as the universal mixing scheme make it possible to achieve highly aesthetic veneers without any quality loss: With a reduced number of ceramic materials you can complete 100 % of your jobs.
The economic advantage: The reduced number of materials benefits your bottom line.
All V shades can be produced with the 40 materials shown below, without any mixing at all. Our six incisals allows a natural representation of the V shades in the incisal area.
The difference between a basic build-up technique and a custom build-up technique should be recognizable, yet easy to achieve. The systematic Kiss approach was designed to help you aspire to – and reach! – the ultimate level of quality in dental technology. The Kiss concept offers a variety of nuanced shades to reproduce natural-looking teeth.
If very thin layers must be used or in aesthetically challenging cases. the framework can be covered with the highly fluorescent Flu Inside.
Gray Inside is a fluorescent dentine that can be used to compensate for high-value framework aspects in the incisal region. This will scatter and reflect the light in the critical transition area from the framework/coping to the ceramic veneer and optically conceal the incisal edge of the coping.
All V-shades can be produced with the 40 materials shown here, without any mixing at all. The range of six incisals allows a better representation of the V-shades in the incisal area. All opaques are precisely adjusted to the respective basic shade. Their fluorescence levels are adapted to the different shade intensities and, consequently, to the natural tooth model. A superb base for your daily work – effortless success for almost everything you attempt.

The six fluorescent Power Chromas can reproduce the majority of all cervical and mamelon effects as well as increases in chroma. Simple 1:1 mixtures between these Power Chromas results in an additional 15 intermediate shades.

With the Action-i-Dentins Dentsply Sirona introduces additional masses for even greater individualization supporting more advanced veneering concepts with rich colors including additional Gum shades.

The individual incisals within the Kiss concept allow the emulation of all natural opalescent and fluorescent effects.
Opal incisals 1 and 2 are intended for lighter (OS 1) and darker (OS 2) shades. For intermediate shades, the two powders are simply mixed at a 1:1 ratio. The same principle holds for Flu Inside 1 and 2. These highly fluorescent materials are designed for the inner layers, covering the opaque even where space is limited, while at the same time increasing the lightness in the incisal area.
White Surface (WS) is a whitish opalescent effect used to increase surface value (brightness). The effect can be minimized by adding Stand by. To reproduce the effects of teeth that have been bleached, Bleach Opaques and Bleach Dentins are available.
A particularly successful and versatile correction material is the transparent Final Kiss.
The Stand by multifunctional material is a strongly transparent opal effect that is one of the keystones of the Kiss concept. It can be used by itself or mixed with any other material.
The three opal effects, Ocean, Sky and Fog, control value and opalescence in bluish and greyish incisal regions. Sunset and Sunrise are suitable for incisal characterization and for subdued transparent chroma gradations in the body region.

By mixing Gum 1 to Gum 4 with selected effects (see chart), natural gingival effects can be emulated very closely and simply.

More and more patients want their teeth to be perfectly bright and white – and are having their teeth bleached. This means that any type of ceramic veneering material must match those bleached teeth for a satisfactory and sophisticated prosthetic result. With the four bleach shades for the Kiss ceramic materials, dental technicians are able to achieve uniform harmonious and aesthetic results both for patients with bleached natural teeth and for full-mouth restorations.
The bleach materials are almost uniformly spread across the extended colour space. They are an ideal complement to the existing Kiss components, having been standardized by the A–D Shade Guide Workgroup.
