A self-leveling composite that matches all 16 VITA classical shades, SimpliShade Bulk Fill Flow offers superior adaptability and a simplified restorative workflow
Benefits for both sides of the dental chair always abound whenever leading-edge materials work well and simplify workflows, especially when it comes to the complexity that defines many of today’s restorative treatments. And that, in a nutshell, perfectly sums up the experience of 2 dentists who live on opposite sides of the country, yet share similar experiences with using SimpliShade Bulk Fill Flow for their restorative workflows.
“Every case that I have used with this restorative has made my work easier for me—it eliminates the guesswork!” shared Salomon Maya, DMD, who practices in Studio City, CA. It’s an experience shared by DeLayne Lefevre, DDS, in Yorktown, IN, who reflected on the simplicity and ease of working with a single material that matches multiple tooth shades.
“I appreciate the ease of use with the unidose compules, and I also like the shade match better than the previous bulk-fill flowable I was using," she said.
Single-Shade Time Savings
The 1-shade simplicity of Kerr Dental’s flowable composite is powered by ART, an enhanced version of its Adaptive Response Technology. The result is a restorative that offers easy handling and sculpting, low shrinkage stress, seamless and efficient color blending, as well as a unique self-leveling capability.
Outstanding Self-Leveling Properties
“The adaptability of this bulk-fill flowable has been exceptional because of its self-leveling properties, which also improve its handling,” Dr. Maya said. “It stands out beautifully by self-leveling in any given clinical situation. It’s allowed me to use it with confidence and not worry about the material being cured with voids or bubbles. I have not used any other bulk-fill flowables that compare.”
It's a point seconded by Dr. Lefevre, who added, “It adapts to the floor of the prep easily, and I can cure up to 5 mm without concern, if necessary.”
Superior Esthetics
In the end, though, it comes down to esthetics for Dr. Lefevre, who shared that “The final restoration, once capped, is much more esthetic than other bulk-fill flowable products that are translucent. This material captures the shade of the surrounding tooth structure, allowing the finish to appear uniform and camouflage.”
