Luna 2

·      Easy to use.

·      Wear resistance.

·      Ease of use, allowed nice esthetics, layering worked well.

·      Very nice shade selection in every category.

·      Not too sticky. Moderately sculptable.

·      The variety of available body, dentin/opaque, and translucent shades gives you several options to adequately match shades.

·      I loved the handling of the composite and its blendability into the adjacent tooth structure.

·      Good handling. Body shades (especially A1 and A2) are aesthetically suitable for most teeth. Unique syringe color. Many shade options. 

·      The condensability of the material is perfect. The colors are nice. The opaque colors are just working well. Easily used material. In the anterior, it blocks the darkness from the back of the mouth.

·      I thought the strength of this material was its polishability. I thought the blending was exceptional. 

·      All colors available. Color matching and polishability are good. 

·      Very versatile, handles very well, polishes beautifully. Nice that it’s BPA free.

·      Syringes worked well for larger direct laminates, Complets are well finished and I liked the size of the nose.

·      Handles very well, polishes very well and very radiopaque.

·      Achieved very nice esthetic results when I had the time to control variable thicknesses of the opaque, body and incisal materials. The effortless and nice polishability of the cured material was excellent. The material provided a nice chameleon effect, blending well with tooth structure.

·      Fluorescence could be improved.

·      Not enough shades for high end cosmetics.

·      Slightly too soft.

·      If you prefer a less sticky or firmer feel to your composite handling, this may not be your go to composite.

·      Not white enough shades available.

·      The translucency of the incisal composite is inadequate. The luster after polishing is inferior to enamel. 

·      Voids occur during build up creation when using it anteriorly. Getting hard very easily in anterior teeth. Polishing problems become a problem in anterior. Incisal color is not appropriate and needs to be more clear.

·      When restoring a large prep, I thought the material was a little soft. I was not able to put my anatomy in the occlusal because it was not stiff enough and it would not hold its shape. I also thought it was a bit too sticky.

·      Few shades are lousy and sticky.

·      Would like to see a few more shade options.

·      To me, a bit too dry. If syringed too fast, the material had a tear effect.

·      Packaging.

·      The materials, especially the body and bleach shades, were a bit too sticky. My only real concern is that, with Luna 2 being a BPA-free material, would there be any concern with effecting a good bond to previously existing composite materials in cases where a large, otherwise well-bonded and esthetic restoration requires only a slight repair? Since I was only provided with the Luna 2 composite materials, but did not have the Luna Flow material, might there be a problem with bond strength of the final restoration, since I used a flowable liner of a BPA-containing material under the restoration. Does SDI require that Luna restorations use exclusively SDI products for all phases of a restoration?

·      Nice to have.

·      I really like this material and I’ve already purchased more of it.

·      Great product.

·      OK composite material for daily use.

·      Nice — staff liked and will order more.

·      One more material on the market...

·      Would purchase — like the array of shades in every category.

·      Good addition to a whole bunch of composites already available on the market.

·      If you prefer a firmer feel to your composite, handling may be an issue for you. This composite is sticky and works well for posterior class II, similar to a bulk fill handling, however the stickiness is not ideal in my hands for free hand composite veneers. Nice selection of shades and opacities though.

·      Loved it.

·      I recommend the use of Luna 2 especially in the posterior region and also as a post-endodontic restoration.

·      This is a nice product. Seems suitable in anterior region. Adequate esthetics and function can be obtained in posterior teeth. Should be used with caution in anterior teeth. The polishability of the material can be improved.

·      Do we really need another composite? Luna 2 is jumping into water that is already flooded. And being that they are late to the game, they are going to have a hard time breaking in because some of the other materials have established themselves as the gold standard. Even though I thought it was a good material and they put a lot of time and effort into making a special product... I don't know if it stands out enough to break in. 

·      A very good product with variety of shades in syringe and tips.

·      Excellent product. Highly recommended!

·      My choices in handling are still Filtek Supreme and Estelite Sigma. The shades cover nicely most of the common use in dentistry and the system is logical to use by an average dentist.

·      Best composite from SDI.

·      Luna 2 is an excellent restorative composite material. Allowing control over the amount of translucency based on varying the thickness of the dentin, body and incisal materials, helps the dentist achieve optimal esthetics. Despite slight stickiness of some of the component composite materials, Luna 2 handled nicely, did not slump, and was nicely polishable.
