PERFORMANSE KOJIMA MOŽETE VJEROVATI
VISOKA MEHANIČKA ČVRSTOĆA:
OTPORNO NA OKLUZALNE SILE
Raniji tekući kompoziti imali su veliki nedostatak: njihova slaba mehanička svojstva ograničavala su njihovu upotrebu ili su zahtijevala završni sloj jačeg kompozita na vrhu. CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES Flow Universal je drugačiji: njegova čvrstoća na savijanje i pritisak slične su onima konvencionalnih kompozitnih sustava u pasti. Posljedično, nema ograničenja u pogledu njegove upotrebe u područjima izloženim opterećenju poput okluzalne površine stražnjih zuba. To pojednostavljuje kliničke postupke i osigurava stabilne rezultate čak i dugoročno.
PRIKLADNOST ZA TEHNIKU TEKUĆEG UBRIZGAVANJA:
BRŽA RESTAURACIJA VIŠE ZUBA
Restauracija više zuba kompozitom na konvencionalan način može biti mukotrpna i nepredvidiva. Izrada modela od voska, izrada prozirnog silikonskog indeksa i ubrizgavanje odgovarajućeg tekućeg kompozita za izgradnju zuba u željeni oblik može ubrzati klinički postupak i podržati predvidljive ishode. CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES Flow Universal može se koristiti za ovaj tijek rada zbog svoje uravnotežene viskoznosti i mehaničkih svojstava. Lako se ulijeva u svaku točku indeksa i održava stabilnu, glatku površinu tijekom vremena nakon poliranja.
JEDNOSTAVNO POLIRANJE:
IDEALNO PODRŽANA PRIRODNA LJEPOTA
Kao i drugi kompoziti serije CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES, CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES Flow Universal sadrži submikronska punila i klaster punila koje je razvio Kuraray Medical Inc. Ova punila su toliko mala da je poliranje jednostavno i brzo, dok se svjetlost idealno reflektira za prirodni efekt. Mala veličina čestica također sprječava stvaranje velikih nepravilnosti na površini očvrslog proizvoda nakon abrazije četkicom za zube. Stoga se može očekivati da će prirodni sjaj trajati.
Univerzalna izvrsnost

Pojednostavljeni koncept nijansi boje
Dvije nijanse su dovoljne
POJEDNOSTAVLJENI KONCEPT BOJA
DVIJE NIJANSE SU DOVOLJNE
CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES Flow Universal je tekući kompozit koji se sastoji od samo dvije nijanse: - Jedna univerzalna nijansa (U) za sve stražnje restauracije - Dvije opcije nijansi univerzalna (U) i univerzalna tamna (UD) za prednje područje.
PITATE SE KAKO JE MOGUĆE POSTIĆI BRILJANTNU ESTETIKU S OVIM MALIM RASPONOM NIJANSI?
Pametna kombinacija translucencije slične caklini, krome slične dentinu i tehnologije difuzije svjetlosti (LDT) rješava problem. Zahvaljujući transparentnosti sličnoj caklini, svjetlost se propušta kroz materijal, ističući boju okolne strukture zuba. Fino podešavanje krome, na koju ne utječe okolna struktura zuba, podržava prirodne rezultate. Konačno, LDT omogućuje restauracijama da raspršuju svjetlost na sličan način kao caklina i dentin. Kao posljedica toga, materijal se lako i glatko integrira u okolnu strukturu zuba.
Ovo izvanredno dobro funkcionira kad god je još uvijek prisutno nekoliko stijenki kaviteta, kao kod stražnjih kaviteta (klasa I ili II) i cervikalnih lezija (klasa V). Svjetlost se jednostavno reflektira, raspršuje na željeni način i otkriva se izvorna boja zuba. Zato je kod ovih klasa kaviteta dovoljna jedna boja (U). Karijesi na tamnijim zubima s malom količinom okolne zubne strukture koja bi se mogla reflektirati i istaknuti (karijesi klase III i IV) imaju koristi od upotrebe druge, tamnije nijanse (UD).
USPOREDBA RAZINE DIFUZIJE SVJETLA
Dvije opcije viskoznosti
Pokrivene su sve potrebe
DVIJE OPCIJE VISKOZNOSTI
SVAKA POTREBA POKRIVENA
CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES Flow Universal dostupan je u dvije različite razine viskoznosti: Low i Super Low. Dok je Low standardni tečni kompozit pogodan za širok raspon indikacija, Super Low opcija je posebna po tome što zadržava zadani oblik. Stoga je idealan za izgradnju stražnjih kvržica i grebena, što ga čini materijalom za upotrebu u okluzalnim površinama. Bez obzira na odabranu viskoznost, materijal se lako istiskuje. Zbog niske ljepljivosti, rukovanje i oblikovanje vrhom štrcaljke također je jednostavno.
PAMETAN DIZAJN ŠTRCALJKE:
LAKO I PRECIZNO NANOŠENJE
Štrcaljka CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES Flow Universal dizajnirana je za jednostavno i precizno nanošenje. Dizajn vrha igle sprječava stvaranje mjehurića zraka i kapanje nakon upotrebe. Štoviše, modeliranje vrhom je jednostavno, dok klip otkriva nijansu i nudi odgovarajuću silu istiskivanja.

Answering your needs
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.
Color matching with anterior and posterior restorations.

Intuitive shade matching goes flowable
Intuitive shade matching goes flowable: CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal
With improving mechanical properties and evolving (injection-based) techniques, the use of flowable composites is becoming increasingly popular as a permanent solution in the aesthetic zone. Consequently, the originally challenging task of shade matching becomes relevant with this material class as well. That is why Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc. introduces CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal – a flowable composite with an intuitive shade-matching concept.
Available in two flowabilities and two beautifully complementary shades, universal (U) and universal dark (UD), CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal turns shade matching into an effortless endeavour. Shade U is suitable for almost all posterior and anterior cavities and shades. UD (Universal dark) shows best results in cavities of shade B3 and beyond that are lacking a back wall, such as Class IV cavities. Hence, U or UD are intuitively selected – no shade guide needed. This is feasible due to a smart combination of an enamel-like translucency, dentin-like chroma and unique Light-Diffusion Technology (LDT). The placement procedure is simplified by the clever syringe design that reduces the risk of formation of air bubbles, extruding the composite without dripping, while the low stickiness facilitates handling and sculpting with the syringe tip. Once cured, the material seamlessly blends with the surrounding tooth structure. In this way, minimal effort is involved in the creation of beautiful restorations.
With a flexural strength over 150 MPa, a compressive strength over 370 MPa and high filler loading of 75, resp. 78 wt/%), CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal rivals with its mechanical properties those of conventional paste-type composites. Thanks to this, the material is suitable for use even for stress-bearing areas like occlusal surfaces. This opens the door to a wide range of applications, including restorations of all cavity classes, direct veneering, simplified restoration of multiple teeth with the flowable injection technique, and intraoral repairs. In addition, the mechanical properties provide for an easy, time-saving polishing procedure and long-lasting gloss. So well equipped, the material positions itself as a high-performance permanent restoration solution offering both aesthetic excellence and structural reliability.
For those users who would like to maximise their clinical efficiency without compromising on treatment quality, the combination with other high-quality materials of Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.’s universal portfolio – e.g. with CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2 – is highly recommended. Consisting of fewer components and requiring fewer steps, these products reduce the procedural complexity and smooth the way for great outcomes. More information about CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal and the whole universal portfolio is available online.

Universal shade concept meets flowable restorative
Interview with Takehiro Kameya
Universal shade concept meets flowable restorative
Interview with Takehiro Kameya
Manager of the Technology Division of Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.
How did you identify the need for a universal flowable restorative?
Packable composites with a universal shade concept are becoming increasingly popular worldwide. This fact made us assume that there is a demand for the flowable type as well. Users will also benefit from simplified procedures and a reduced number of shades to be stocked, with a positive impact on inventory management. Accordingly, we introduced the universal flowable composite in Japan, where it already holds a significant market share. Users have been utilizing it for various cases with excellent feedback. As it turned out to be very well received in Japan, we approached the European team to extend the release area to Europe, and the decision was made to launch it. We pushed forward with commercialization in an ultra-short period of about one year.
Does it really create added value to use a universal flowable composite in addition to the universal packable variant?
Yes, several benefits arise from the additional use of a modern flowable composite. This is because – unlike earlier products – the latest generation of flowable composites offers sufficient mechanical strength to be used for regular restorations. The advantages of using a flowable composite include the ability to flow into even the narrowest parts of a (sometimes complex) cavity, which provides for easy and quick filling procedures, and to an intimate adaptation at the adhesive interface leading to a tight seal.
What are the differences between CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow and CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal?
CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal maintains the distinctive features of CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow, such as convenient dispensing, handling and sculpting, extremely easy and quick polishing, long-lasting gloss and great mechanical properties. Due to their high strength, both products can be used not only as liners, but also for regular direct restoration procedures. The difference lies in the shade concept. CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal introduces a universal shade system, allowing it to adapt to a wide range of colour tones with fewer shade variations.
Please describe the shade concept behind CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal. How many shades are available and how are they selected?
The CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal line-up consists of two shades: Universal (U) and Universal Dark (UD). U is an excellent choice for all posterior restorations, independent of the target shade. In the anterior region and cervical area (Class III, IV and V cavities), U is best suited for restoring teeth of the shades A1 to A3 (including B1, B2, C1, C2, D2, D2, D3 and D4), while UD is the shade of choice to match the target shades A3.5 to A4 (including B3, B4, C3 and C4).
Color matching with anterior and posterior restorations.
Why do you offer an additional shade for the anterior region?
Universal-shade composites need to take on the colour of the surrounding tooth structure to deliver a perfect match for a great number of target shades. In the posterior area, large amounts of surrounding tooth structure are usually available with several cavity walls still present. This facilitates the taking on of the tooth colour compared to cavities in the anterior region. Here, light easily passes through, so that the colour of the composite itself is more likely to be reflected. This can lead to limitations in colour matching. In the case of CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal, the U shade that turned to be ideal for the posterior area showed some colour-matching limitations in anterior restorations of darker teeth. Hence, we decided to offer a second colour option specifically designed for these situations. With U and UD, CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal offers great colour adaptability from light to dark shades and hence addresses the need for precise colour matching especially in the anterior region.
Developing just two shades of composite to cover so many target tooth shades sounds challenging. How did you evaluate whether the available shades are appropriate in the clinical environment?
Indeed, it has been quite challenging to develop the U shade, which is able to match a wider range of tooth colours for both anterior and posterior teeth than the U shade of CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES-2 Universal. In order to evaluate and fine-tune the shades we developed, we repeatedly conducted filling tests using a wide range of experimental shades in artificial teeth and extracted teeth of various tooth colours. Additionally, the final selection of shades was visually evaluated by consulting dental practitioners who used the composite in the clinical setting.
What are the greatest challenges in the context of determining and selecting the right shade in the clinical environment?
The major drawback of classical shade determination is that it simply increases the chair time. For both, the dental practitioner and the patient, however, minimizing chair time is the ultimate goal, as it reduces costs and increases patient comfort. A true drawback in terms of time and comfort is a colour mismatch produced due to an error during shade determination: it may necessitate intra-oral adjustments or, in the worst case, the creating of a new restoration.
CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal is available in two viscosities – Low and Super Low. Why is this the case and what is the difference in use?
We decided to offer two types of flowability with different thixotropic properties to cater to users’ preferences in terms of handling. Basically, there is no difference in usage between Low and Super Low. However, users are encouraged to use composites with different thixotropic properties according to their preferences and the specific case. For example, Super Low is useful for shaping the occlusal surface of posterior teeth. Low can be widely used for applications such as lining and filling in the cervical area and on proximal surfaces.
CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal – Great mechanical properties.
What are the technologies behind CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal that provide for a great blend-in?
The probably most popular technology used in this product is our proprietary Light Diffusion Technology. We determined the optimal light diffusion based on the observation that a strong diffuse reflection of incident light results in whitening, and weak light diffusion makes it easier to take on dark colours in the oral cavity, darkening the filling site. In addition, we focused on chroma adjustment: The universal shade concept is based on the ability to take on the colour of the surrounding tooth structure and blend with it. Therefore, we have set the chroma to be easily harmonized with a wide range of tooth shades. Finally, the translucency of the material was adjusted via its submicron fillers and silica clusters. Evaluation by key opinion leaders supported us in determining an appropriate level of translucency.
How to proceed in cases with discoloured tooth structure underneath – is there a need for masking with a blocker or opaquer?
The necessity depends on the degree of discolouration. Due to the light diffusion properties of CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal, it is generally believed that blocking is not required, and shading can be achieved. However, in cases of severe discolouration, it may be beneficial to fill the bottom of the cavity with A2D or A3D shades of CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow, or to use CLEARFIL™ ST Opaquer.
What did you do to avoid void formation during application?
We have adopted the same packaging design used in CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow to avoid void formation in this product as well. The innovative container design minimizes the gap between the needle tip and the syringe when the tip is attached.
Are there any recommendations of when to use CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow and when to opt for CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal?
While the universal variant can be used for general lining and filling applications as described in the instruction for use, CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow is recommended for those cases in which the tooth structure is covered and the colour of the entire tooth needs to be changed. Direct veneers are a perfect example. In those situations, the use of different shades and opacities is clearly beneficial.
What is the future of flowable composites?
As information on clinical performance and physical properties data continues to spread, the trust in flowable composites is expected to increase in Europe, leading to its expanded usage. Furthermore, an increased demand is anticipated due to the development of filling methods using flowable composites in conjunction with moulds or matrices.

AMALGAM REPLACEMENT
with flowable composite
Amalgam replacement with flowable composite
Case by Dr. Julien Molia
YES, IT WORKS!
In the minds of many dental practitioners, it has become firmly established that flowable composites are nice liner or base materials below stronger packable composites and indirect restorations or as a temporization material. Many of them assume, however, that their use is limited due to their poor mechanical properties.
A NEW GENERATION OF FLOWABLES
Luckily, this is no longer true: Several flowable composites of the latest generation – like CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow and CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal (both Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.) – are equipped with mechanical properties, which are on par with those of many packable alternatives. Consequently, the range of indications is extended. For example, CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal, has a high filler loading of 75 to 78 wt/%, a flexural strength of more than 150 MPa and a compressive strength exceeding 370 MPa according to the manufacturer. Thanks to its high strength, it serves as a reliable and permanent solution, even suitable for stress-bearing areas such as the occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth.
However, this flowable composite has even more to offer: It is available in two levels of flowability – LOW and SUPER LOW – to serve a wider range of personal preferences and individual indication-specific needs and in just two shades (universal and universal dark). The latter offers the benefit of intuitive shade selection even in the anterior area and is enabled by a mixture of shade matching technologies, including optimized light diffusion technology and an enamel-like translucency.
The following case example reveals how CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal makes my life easier in posterior restoration procedures.
CASE EXAMPLE
This patient presented for the replacement of two amalgam restorations in the mandibular right molars (teeth # 46 and 47 according to the FDI notation) (Fig. 1). As it would facilitate filling and provide for great adaptation to the cavity walls, it was decided to use CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal LOW as the only restorative material. The position of the teeth to be restored made shade selection easy: Shade U (universal) is designed to work perfectly for all posterior restorations.
The amalgam restorations were removed and caries was excavated, while saving as much of the healthy tooth structure as possible (Figs. 2 and 3). A selective enamel etching technique was chosen, followed by the application of a universal adhesive (CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2, Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.). Subsequently, CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal in the LOW version and the selected shade U was applied into the cavities (Fig. 4). Thanks to the innovative syringe design, the applied flowable composite is virtually free of voids. In line with the instructions for use of the product, the thickness of each layer did not exceed 2 millimetres to provide for a complete cure (Figs. 5 and 6), which has a decisive impact on the long-term performance of the final restorations. Each layer should be thoroughly cured for 10 to 20 seconds (depending on the curing light) before the next layer is applied. As shown in Figure 7, the low flowability of the selected material allows for some modelling of the occlusal surface morphology. When more anatomical details need to be restored, the steadier SUPER LOW variant may be an option. It took just a few seconds to polish the restorations to high gloss (Fig. 8).

Fig. 7. Nice surface morphology and shade blend-in.
Fig. 8. Treatment outcome after rubber dam removal. The restorations blend in nicely with the surrounding dentition – qua shade and surface gloss.
EASY-TO-USE ALTERNATIVE TO PACKABLE COMPOSITES
Especially in difficult-to-reach areas in the mouth, the use of a flowable composite with well-balanced mechanical properties can be a nice alternative to packable ones. Advanced shade-matching abilities, virtually void-free application, easy adaptation and modelling, and quick polishing truly simplify the life of the dental practitioner. However, many assume their use is limited due to poor mechanical properties.

PROPERTIES IN A NUTSHELL
In Europe, CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal was just launched in two viscosities – Low and Super Low, while in the United States, the Super Low variant is available. To provide for an effortless shade selection procedure, the material is equipped with a smart combination of an enamel-like translucency, dentin-like chroma and unique Light-Diffusion Technology (LDT). This leads to exceptional shade-matching abilities and allows for a minimal shade range of just two complementary shades – universal (U) and universal dark (UD). Once cured, the material naturally blends with the surrounding tooth structure.
Apart from intuitive shade selection, the flowable composite offers another major advantage: Its exceptionally high strength. With a flexural strength of 152 MPa and a compressive strength of 374 MPa, CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal (Super Low) is as strong as many paste-type composites. Consequently, it is suitable for use even in stress-bearing areas and indicated 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
- Cementation of ceramic and composite inlays, onlays and veneers with less than 2 mm thickness
STUNNING IN-VITRO PERFORMANCE
The Super Low flowability variant offered the United States was tested in the Dental Advisor Biomaterials Research Center and compared to two other flowable composites. Among the properties evaluated were the materials’ flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, fracture toughness, compressive strength and radiopacity. Moreover, the investigators assessed the shade-matching ability of the materials in the context of restoring Class V cavities in A1, B2, C3, and D4-shaded denture teeth. Finally, they put the radiopacity and flow properties to a test.
CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal performed very well in all respects. Physical properties turned out to be among the highest of flowable composites and on a similar level as paste-type alternatives. Radiopacity was found to be ideal, as was the viscosity, as the material holds its initial shape after application. And although only two shades are offered, the investigators confirmed that the CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal matches a broad range of natural tooth shades.

** VITA je zaštitni znak tvrtke VITA Zahnfabrik, Bad Sackingen, Njemačka.
Q
Po čemu se razlikuje od konvencionalnog CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow?
A
U CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow, svaka nijansa ima svoju shemu boja, koja se mora odabrati prema boji ciljanog zuba.
CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal Super Low nasljeđuje iste karakteristike jednostavnosti korištenja i izvrsnog poliranja koje su CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow učinile tako popularnim.
Osim toga:
- Poboljšana je kompatibilnost boja jedne nijanse, što omogućuje da jedna nijansa pokriva* 16 nijansi VITA**.
- Viskoznost je manja, što omogućava da zadržava zadani oblik i da se prilagođava specifičnim potrebama, npr. izgradnja kvržica i grebena.
* Kaviteti klase I, II
** VITA je zaštitni znak tvrtke VITA Zahnfabrik, Bad Sackingen, Njemačka.
Q
Koje su tehnologije iza CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal Super Low koje omogućuju besprijekorno miješanje?
A
CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal Super Low ima 3 ključna faktora koja omogućuju besprijekorno uklapanje:
- Optimizirana translucencija
- Optimizirana difuzija svjetlosti
- Prilagođena kroma
Optimizirana translucencija ističe boju okolne zubne strukture propusnošću svjetlosti.
Optimizirana difuzija svjetlosti omogućuje restauracijama da raspršuju svjetlost na sličan način kao i zubna struktura. Posljedično, materijal se lako i glatko integrira u okolnu zubnu strukturu.
Sve ove značajke/prednosti, uz prilagođenu kromu, omogućile su razvoj univerzalnih nijansi „U“ i „UD“. One pružaju neutralnu boju koja se uklapa i stapa s okolnim bojama, nudeći tako kameleonski efekt.
Q
Kakav će pozitivan učinak univerzalno rješenje imati na rad stomatologa?
A
Upravljanje zalihama bit će lakše: neke se nijanse rijetko koriste, ali ih je potrebno držati na zalihi. To može dovesti do isteka roka trajanja proizvoda, što doprinosi rasipnosti. Posjedovanje jedne nijanse minimizira ovu pojavu.
Q
Zahtijeva li CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal Super Low boju blokera/opakera kao drugi kompoziti univerzalne boje?
A
CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal Super Low ne zahtijeva dodatno blokator ili opaker boju, ni u stražnjem ni u prednjem području. To je zbog specifične razine prozirnosti materijala i integracije tehnologije difuzije svjetlosti tvrtke Kuraray Noritake Dental.
Q
Tekući kompoziti poznati su po tome što nisu čvrsti, što ograničava njihovu upotrebu kao podloge za kavitete/baze. Mogu li koristiti CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal Super Low kao završni materijal za restauraciju kaviteta klase I i klase II?
A
CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal Super Low pokazuje izvrsna mehanička svojstva slična konvencionalnim kompozitnim smolama u pasti: Čvrstoća na savijanje: 152 MPa. Sadržaj punila: 78 wt%. To omogućuje njegovu upotrebu kao materijala za završni restauracijski materijal čak i u stražnjem području za kavitete klase I i II.

A
CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal Super Low je neljepljivi kompozit i dizajniran je imajući na umu najbolje karakteristike za rukovanje. Za tretiranje punila koristimo vlastito silansko sredstvo za spajanje. To, kao i činjenica da naš kompozit sadrži i submikronska i klasterska punila (0,18 µm do 3,5 µm), pruža vrhunske karakteristike rukovanja pastom, poboljšavajući jednostavnost nanošenja, rukovanja i oblikovanja.
Q
Kako se CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal Super Low polira?
A
Zahvaljujući submikronskim česticama punila CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal Super Low, CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal Super Low stvara visoki sjaj i održava ga tijekom vremena. CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal Super Low izuzetno se lako i brzo polira za samo nekoliko sekundi. Čak i samo brisanje površine gazom ili vatom natopljenom alkoholom rezultira visokom razinom sjaja.
Q
Ponekad imam šupljine/stvaranje mjehurića zraka prilikom korištenja tekućih kompozitnihmaterijala. Kako se ponaša po tom pitanju CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal Super Low?
A
CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal Super Low dizajniran je kako bi spriječio stvaranje mjehurića zraka/šupljina tijekom doziranja. Ima posebno dizajniran vrh koji smanjuje rizik od pojave mjehurića zraka smanjenjem nepotrebnih praznina unutra. Osim toga, poseban dizajn štrcaljke i klipa ograničava mogućnost kapanja tijekom ili nakon doziranja. O-prsten unutra sprječava tok materijala nakon što se tlak otpusti, a istovremeno spriječava preveliko povlačenje klipa.
Q
Je li CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Universal Super Low vidljiv na Rtg?
