Ormocer®

The term Ormocer® is an abbreviation for Organically Modified Ceramics. The organic-inorganic hybrid polymers were developed by the Fraunhofer Institute and they exhibit interesting characteristics. In a research cooperation between VOCO and other organizations, including the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research and the Hannover Medical School, the advantages of this material class were also made usable for utilization in dentistry.

Ormocer®-based dental materials offer characteristic advantages in comparison to conventional composites. These are particularly:

  • Reduced shrinkage
  • Very high biocompatibility
  • Increased aesthetics

Ormocer® technology is utilized in all products of the Admira line:
