DT f DT page 9A Times Square is known to some as “the crossroads of the world.” Did you know that up until April 1904, it was called Longacre Square? It was renamed Times Square when The New York Times moved its headquarters into the Times Building. Times Square is where the ball drops every New Year’s Eve.

Approved for all indications (Class I–V) based on physical properties that rival lead- ing hybrid composites, this injectable hybrid restorative achieves superior adaptation that offers distinct ben- efits compared to traditional hybrid packing techniques. Featuring Shofu’s GIOMER “sur- face pre-reacted glass” (S-PRG) filler material, BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus also exhibits durable esthetics and sus- tained fluoride release and recharge that provide lasting benefits. All-in-one base, liner and restorative BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus was specifi- cally designed to stand up to the rig- ors of the occlusal surface and mar- ginal ridge. High filler content and unique chemical properties ensure that clinicians have all of the materi- al strength found in leading hybrids. In fact, compressive strength, flexural strength, toothbrush wear and other crucial mechanical prop- erties of BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus were either clinically equivalent or supe- rior to leading hybrids on the mar- ket. ‘Stay-put’ handling and superior adaptation Traditional methods of filling and packing hybrids are time consuming and technique sensitive. BEAUTI- FIL Flow Plus easily flows into the prep, self-levels and creates a tight marginal seal quickly and reliably. Unlike other flowables, BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus stays put and won’t spill out of the prep. This allows stacking all the way up to the occlusal surface. Two dis- tinct viscosities are available: “F00” zero flow for controlled stacking and “F03” low flow, which handles more like a traditional base or liner but has the same physical properties as F00. Clinically proven benefits Shofu’s proprietary GIOMER tech- nology utilizes S-PRG filler, provid- ing a wealth of benefits for patients. Unlike other fluoride-releasing materials, S-PRG filler is durable, esthetic and recharges in high-flu- oride concentrations, carrying sus- tained preventative benefits. As published in JADA in 2009, a University of Florida study on S-PRG restoratives found that restorations containing S-PRG filler showed no secondary caries, no postoperative sensitivity and maintained their lus- ter over an 8-year period. A 13-year recall is currently underway. Introductory kit offer For a limited time only, BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus is available in two intro- ductory kit offerings. The standard kit (PN 2000S) contains two 2.2 gram syringes of both viscosities (F00 and F03) in shades A2 and A3, and the pedo kit (PN 2000P) contains two 2.2 gram syringes of both viscosities in shades A1 and bleach white. Both kits contain samples of Shofu’s top-selling products, includ- ing BeautiBond, One Gloss, Super Snap and the hybrid material BEAU- TIFIL II. The introductory kits are valued at $160 but retail for just $99.95. For more information contact Shofu Dental Corp. at (800) 827- 4638 or visit www.shofu.com. DT (Photo/Provided by Shofu)
