Evaluators’ Comments
- “Different viscosities offer many options for treatment modalities.”
- “Polishability, blendability and color match were just fabulous.”
- “My new go-to in difficult areas, especially the Super Low Flow.”
- “Beautiful results for cervical carious lesions.”
- “There was a learning curve deciding which viscosity was best suited for each use.”
- “The low flow lived up to it’s name, however, I found less opportunities to use it than the other viscosities.”
- “The flow was different from what I’m used to. I like a flowable that has a high viscosity and lower flow. These seemed a bit runny for my taste—but still a great product.”
- “I’m not sure if all viscosities are really necessary to be stocked by a dental office, it would be a lot of inventory.”
- “Outstanding esthetics, immediate and very high gloss.”
Indications
- Direct anterior and posterior restorations
- Blocking out cavity undercuts before fabricating indirect restorations
- Cavity base or liner

Clinical Tips
- The Medium Flow has just the right amount of flow and is easy to contour in Class V situations.
- The Medium Flow is definitely the most versatile.
- The super low viscosity (High Flow) works great for Invisalign attachments.
- You can actually sculpt the Super Low Flow with a conical burnisher or flat composite instrument.
