According to the company, the pro- prietary giomer technology, a surface pre-reacted glass filler, provides high fluoride release and recharge benefits with “ideal” light diffusion properties to allow complete 4 mm depth of cure without being overly translucent, a known shortcoming of bulk fill com- posites. The outcome, according to the company, is an improved esthetic re- sult and shade adaptability within the patient’s mouth. The hydrophobic nature of giomer and different particle sizes create a dense distribution within the resin and a high filler load (72.5 wt percent) to reduce polymerization shrinkage stress. The material exhibits strength and surface hardness with high radi- opacity to ensure easy identification. It is designed with a self-leveling fea- ture to increase cavity adaption, ease of use and reduce time spent manipu- lating material. According to the com- pany, it's “the giomer bulk fill restor- ative you can trust.” BEAUTIFIL Bulk Flowable — avail- able in a 2.4-gram syringe in univer- sal and dentin shades — is valued at a suggested retail price of $37.44.
