VOCO has introduced VisCalor bulk, the world’s first thermo-viscous bulk-fill composite that offers an entirely new two-in-one technology.
Once warmed, VisCalor bulk delivers the viscosity of a flowable, then rapidly cools to body temperature once placed—allowing for the immediate, easy sculpting of the composite.
With an 83% fill rate by weight and a 4mm depth of cure, VisCalor bulk saves time by eliminating procedural steps and the need for additional materials. It can be used as a restorative base, liner, or occlusal capping layer, effectively making VisCalor bulk two restoratives in one.
Previously, clinicians used heat to soften the consistency of a composite, but they were not able to totally transform its viscosity to flowable consistency.
VOCO’s Thermo-viscous Technology (TVT) changes it. VisCalor bulk’s unique formulation is based on an entirely new monomer system and special silane coating of its glass fillers.
This combined modification along with a new capsule design that is optimised for heat transfer, results in a unique but designed behaviour of the restorative when warmed.
Truly a unique innovation, VisCalor bulk offers speed and simplicity to streamline restorative dentistry.
VisCalor bulk’s high fill rate (83%), low shrinkage of 1.44% and excellent wear rate ensure the longevity and structural stability of the restoration.
Its long and narrow capsule tip provides greater access to difficult-to-reach areas to ensure a bubble-free application, minimising the potential for incipient decay and long-term failures.
For enhanced aesthetics, VisCalor bulk has exceptionally low water absorption and is available in four shades: Universal, A1, A2, and A3. The versatile Universal shade requires only a 10-second light cure.
Warm it, flow it, sculpt it – simplify restorative procedures with VOCO’s VisCalor bulk, an efficient, two-in-one restorative that eliminates the need for a separate base or liner, multiple increments and/or an occlusal layer, while delivering high quality, long-term restorative solution.
