exhibitors34 Chicago Midwinter — February 25, 2016 Ad By Nanova Biomaterials Staff n The newly released NovaPro™ flow has superior performance because of the incorporation of calcium phos- phate nanofibers in conjunction with nanoparticle technology, according to the company behind it, Nanova Biomaterials. Most flowable composites on the market only utilize nanoparticles to improve polishability while maintain- ing strength. Nano-hybrid technology is best described as having a box of basketballs, tennis balls and golf balls to achieve a higher fill percentage. According to the company, NovaPro flow is the first and only composite to addthepatentednanofibertechnology to the current nano-hybrid composite, significantly improving the mechani- cal performance. Nanova Biomaterials developed and manufactures this nanofiber technology used in the flowable com- posite at their Columbia, Mo., head- quarters. Created in 2007, these inno- vative fibers significantly improved the currently available composite. These nanofibers are simply fibers that are less than 100 nanometers in diameter, which is approximately 1,000 times smaller than a piece of hair. This small size gives the fibers their strength by reducing the pos- sibility of defects in a cross-section. In addition, fibers reinforce com- posites by adding to the tensile, bend- ing and shear strength of the com- posite. By utilizing nanofibers with nanoparticles, the material is rein- forced, similar to rebar in concrete, providing a stronger, longer-lasting composite with very low shrinkage stress. NovaPro flow was designed to have optimal handling and finishing prop- erties, according to the company, and it doesn’t require any special polish- ing tools to perfect the desired finish and look expected from a flowable. NovaPro flow is FDA cleared for all classes (I, II, III, IV and V) of restora- tion. Other cleared uses include: • Base/liner for Class I or II • Minimally invasive procedures • Pit and fissure sealants • Direct or indirect restorations Do you trust your current compos- ite to accurately reflect the quality of your patient care?
