Answering your needs

In modern dental practice, there is a strong need for materials that combine convenient handling and procedural efficiency with aesthetic, durable results. These materials enable dental practitioners to achieve desired outcomes more efficiently, enabling them to spend more time on personal interaction with their patients.

In the context of direct restorative treatments, the selected resin composite has a strong impact on the simplicity of procedures and the quality of the outcomes: This is why universal paste-type composites, such as CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES-2 Universal (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.) are becoming increasingly popular. With CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal, the same company has now introduced a flowable composite that offers similar benefits, summarized below by answering your key questions.

How can you achieve aesthetic, durable restorations with flowable ease?

CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal is a flowable solution with two complementary shades designed for intuitive shade matching that supports a range of restorative procedures. It combines practical flow characteristics with advanced shade-blending ability and outstanding mechanical properties.

What is CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal?

CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal is a light-cured, radiopaque composite resin designed for a variety of clinical situations, available in two viscosities and 2 shades. It features nano-filler technology that allows for controlled flow, polish retention, and natural-looking restorations. Seamless blending of the composite is achieved by having a smart combination of an enamel-like translucency, dentin-like chroma and Light-Diffusion Technology (LDT). The enamel-like translucency allows light to transmit through the material, enhancing the color integration with surrounding tooth structure. LDT makes restorations diffuse light in a similar way as enamel and dentin. Together with the fine-tuned chroma, these characteristics contribute to a smooth optical integration of the material into the surrounding tooth structure.

Where can you use CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal?

This flowable composite is intended for a wide scope of restorative needs. From Class I-V restorations to pit and fissure sealing and repairs, it is formulated for use in both conservative and comprehensive treatment plans.

CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal may be used for:

Direct restorations for all cavity classes, cervical lesions (e.g. root surface caries, v-shape defects), tooth wear, and tooth erosion.
Cavity base / liner.
Correction of tooth position and tooth shape (e.g. diastema closure, tooth malformation).
Intraoral repair of fractured restorations.

How is shade selection accomplished?

Shade selection is virtually effortless with CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal. The two complementary shades, universal (U) and universal dark (UD), are intuitively selected – no shade guide needed. Shade U is suitable for most posterior and anterior restorations. UD performs best in darker-shade teeth (B3 and above) with a low amount of surrounding tooth structure, including Class III and IV cavities. Depending on the cavity class and age of the patient, you may pick the shade that fits best.

What contributes to the performance of CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal?

The formulation includes several features aimed at clinical effectiveness:

Nano-filler technology: Maintains an optimal filler load for reduced shrinkage, enhanced wear resistance, and long-term polish retention.
Universal shade adaptation: Offers good visual integration with surrounding tooth structure, supporting streamlined shade selection.
Thixotropic handling: Flows under pressure during placement but remains stable once in position, enabling precise application.

Why consider CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal?

Clinicians may find CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal beneficial due to its:

Predictable handling and delivery.
Aesthetic outcomes for both anterior and posterior restorations.
Resistance to wear and surface degradation.
Radiopacity that supports radiographic evaluation.
Adaptability across a variety of restorative needs.

How do you apply CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal?

The application is straightforward and fits into standard clinical workflows:

Prepare and isolate the area as required.
Apply a compatible adhesive (e.g., CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2).
Dispense the material using the syringe and fine-tip applicator.
Light-cure according to the manufacturer’s guidelines (typically 20 seconds, depending on the shade and curing light used).
Finish and polish to complete the restoration.

Syringe-based delivery supports controlled application and convenience.

Has CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal been evaluated by independent sources?

Yes. CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal (Super Low) has been evaluated by dental professionals through third-party testing and peer-reviewed feedback. Most recently, it received Research Award 2025 from The Dental Advisor. In their conclusion, the evaluators from the U.S.-based publication stated:

“Testing shows this composite to have among the highest physical properties for flowable composites that rivals the strongest packable composites in flexural strength, and compressive strength with an ideal radiopacity.”

A versatile flowable option: CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal

CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY ES Flow Universal is intended to support restorative procedures by combining controlled handling, aesthetic integration, and mechanical durability. It can be a practical choice for clinicians seeking a dependable flowable resin for a wide range of clinical scenarios.
