Both flowable materials benefit from a composition that features a unique filler technology. Unlike other flowable composites the GC materials have a higher filler load and a homogeneous dispersion of fillers. The resulting improved strength and wear resistance are two key features of these flowable materials. G-ænialUniversalFloisradiopaqueandfeaturesahighviscosity,makingitideal for placement in class I-V restorations. Essentially, it looks like a flowable but behaves like a restorative. Its indications are for direct restorations, minimum intervention cavities and fissure sealing. With a physical performance of a regular composite, this material is highly thixotropic and stays neatly in place. These restoratives are dispensed through an ergonomically designed syringe that enables smooth delivery of the material, with a tapered tip that means no paste can stick to it. The syringe size provides a comfortable hold and the arched shape of the flange fits the hand ergonomically. The design also prevents material waste.
