Ask the Editors
Have you found a pink colored composite that will help hide the discoloration of an endo tooth that has darkened at the root?

There are many gingival colored composites available today. The most opaque I found is Creative Color Pink (Cosmedent). It is intended as a pink opaque composite.
Others available include, Wave Flowable (Gingival Shade, SDI North America Inc.), Master-Dent Flow (gingival pink, Dentonics), and Amaris Gingiva (VOCO).
Our consultants and editors evaluated Amaris Gingiva. Here is a link to that report:

Here is a link to a publication in Dentistry Today. It features a nice clinical case report.
