Admira Fusion Flow

Consultants’ Comments

  • “Very nice viscosity, non-sticky and easy handling.”
  • “It flowed well and adaptation was great. Handled better than any other flowable I have used.”
  • “Great shade match.”
  • “All-ceramic properties are great. I like that it does not contain classic  monomers.”
  • “No bubbles, it was easy to blend.”
  • “Like its big brother Admira Fusion, it has a wonderful chameleon effect.”
  • “Stays put and doesn’t overlap class V margins. Really cuts down  finishing time!”
  • “I like that the cure time is indicated on the syringe.”
  • “This material is a real workhorse.”
  • “Minimal polishing time. The final finish was superb.”
  • “It slumped in Class V and root areas.”
  • “A few times it stuck to composite instruments.”

Clinical Tips

  • Use the material’s flow characteristics during placement rather than  manipulating it with instrument.
  • I still use a periodontal probe to wet the flowable into the cavo-surface  edges.
  • Use the small tip for greater control of flow.
  • You can ‘pile’ or ‘stack’ this flowable more than others, just be aware of  the higher viscosity.
  • Keep the tip submerged to prevent bubbles.
  • Use minnow polishers for good shine.
  • Great opaquer and great for porcelain repairs.

Unique Features

  • Free of classic monomers such as BisGMA, TEGDMA or HEMA, eliminating potential post-polymerization release of these substances.
  • Thixotropic, allowing for “flow on demand” without slumping.
  • Multiple shade system with three levels of translucency.

Indications

  • As a liner or coating for preparations.
  • Class III to V restorations, and small restorations.
  • Repairing fillings, veneers and temporary restorations.
  • Extended fissure sealing.
  • Blocking out undercuts.
  • Luting translucent prosthetic pieces (including veneers).
  • Locking, splinting of loose teeth.

Description

Admira Fusion Flow is an all-ceramic-based radiopaque, flowable nanohybrid restorative containing ORMOCER technology. Silicon oxide forms the chemistry for the fillers as well as the resin matrix. This restorative material offers up to 50% less shrinkage than conventional flowable composites, a high surface hardness, wettability, and “flow on demand” properties. It has a filler content of 74% by weight, flexural strength of 115 MPa, and a compressive strength of 281 MPa. The material is radiopaque at 240% Al. Its depth of cure is generally 2.7 mm, while the Universal shade has a 4 mm depth of cure. Admira Fusion Flow can be used as a one-shade or multiple-shade system and offers three levels of translucency. It is available in shades: A1, A2, A3, A3.5, A4, B1, B2, C2, and opaque A2, white opaque (WO) as well as Incisal (I), OA2 Bleach (BL). Cure time is 20 seconds for all except opaque shades and A4, which have a cure time of 40 seconds. Admira Fusion Flow is delivered in 2 g syringes, together with syringe tips
