RE-GEN Flowable Composite
Flowable composite material releases essential ions to help remineralize tooth structure
Many clinicians field an all-too-familiar question from their patients time and time again: “Can you fix my tooth?” And even if a tooth is worth restoring, the thought of a time-, cost-, and labor-intensive crown restoration can often be too overwhelming for a patient to stomach.
An affordable solution for patients with chipped, broken, cracked, or stained teeth is cosmetic bonding, which uses a composite material, involves minimal tooth preparation, and creates ideal results that rival crowns or veneers.
Restore with a Bioactive Boost
There are many new materials that claim to offer the optimal strength, handling, and shade matching required for cosmetic bonding and other restorative procedures. However, RE-GEN Flowable Composite, part of Vista Apex’s RE-GEN bioactive suite of solutions, goes one step further. By injecting Bioglass material into its formulation, essential calcium, phosphate, and fluoride ions are released to maximize the potential for remineralization of tooth structure. Bioglass also releases alkaline species, which significantly increases the pH of RE-GEN Flowable Composite and provides a zone of inhibition that blocks recurring decay and secondary caries from forming.
“What piqued my curiosity most about Vista Apex’s RE-GEN bioactive suite was the opportunity to use a new generation of osteogenic, antimicrobial, biocompatible, and BPA-free restorative materials,” said Michael A. Miyasaki, DDS. “These materials release calcium and phosphate ions to help the body create more hydroxyapatite, which initiates bone cell regeneration.”
RE-GEN Flowable Composite offers a unique combination of thickness and flow that allows it to easily fill the preparation. The high modulus material has a compressive strength of 357 MPa to create durable restorations with strong foundations.
The full RE-GEN suite includes the first-ever bioactive universal and self-etch adhesives, a bulk-fill and resin cement, and a pit-and-fissure sealant.
4 Reasons to Restore with the RE-GEN Suite:
1. Osteoconductivity stimulates tissues toward a path of regeneration and self-repair
2. Creates a zone of inhibition that blocks recurring decay and secondary caries from forming
3. The use of Bioglass allows calcium, phosphate, and fluoride ions to maximize the potential for remineralization of tooth structure
4. Biocompatible and free of Bis-GMA and Bisphenol-A (and its derivatives)
