GC America has launched a three-product family of flowable composites.
G-ænial Universal Flo is a nanohybrid light-cured composite that has the easy handling of a low-flow flowable. Advancements in filler technology led to a new silanation process resulting in a product that is 69% (by weight) filled with 200 nm homogeneously dispersed particles.
Tests have shown G-ænial Universal Flo is stronger and has better wear resistance than leading flowable and conventional composites, the company said. It also has thixotropic attributes that allow the material to have easy handling and placement. Suitable for use in class I, II, III, IV, and V restorations, it is available in 15 shades.
G-ænial Flo is a low-viscosity version of G-ænial Universal Flo. It has many of the same characteristics -- such as high flexural strength and high gloss -- in a more flowable version.
G-ænial Bond is a seventh-generation, one-step self-etching bonding agent designed specifically for the selective etching technique. Bond strengths will be enhanced no matter what technique (self-etch on dentin or etch-and-rinse on enamel) is used.
