Category Spotlight: OMNICHROMA Flow BULK

Despite how tech-savvy the dental industry has become, the one thing no one has been able to do just yet is to slow down or speed up the passage of time. For patients nervously watching the clock during treatment, time can feel like it’s standing still. On the other hand, those same minutes seem to tick by extra fast for clinicians, as they carefully work through the tedious shade-matching process, all the while knowing that their patient is waiting—and waiting. But there’s a solution that can shorten the time spent finding the perfect shade while providing strong, esthetic restorations, and it’s called OMNICHROMA Flow BULK.

Easy Shade Match, Less Time

A low-viscosity, light-cured material that can be placed in 3.5-mm increments, OMNICHROMA Flow BULK is a single-shade bulk-fill composite that can shade match all 16 VITA classical shades—any tooth color from A1 to D4—with just one shade.

Along with the rest of the OMNICHROMA family, OMNICHROMA Flow BULK leverages Tokuyama’s groundbreaking Smart Chromatic Technology, which uses 260-nm uniformly sized, supranano spherical fillers to reflect the exact shade of surrounding teeth. 

While composites have traditionally relied upon translucency to shade match, OMNICHROMA Flow BULK uses these spherical fillers to generate the red-to-yellow color range of teeth for seamless restorations, ensuring no loss of chroma or drop in value, especially with darker restorations. OMNICHROMA materials do not require added dyes or pigments, as they use structural color as their primary color mechanism.

Perfect for Anterior & Posterior

OMNICHROMA Flow BULK displays a high polishability and is suitable for both anterior and posterior restorations. It features high compressive and flexural strength, low viscosity, low polymerization shrinkage, easy handling, high stain resistance, and excellent cavity adaptation.

The composite is indicated for deeper Class Is to help overcome the challenges of voids and lack of visibility in the posterior, as a cavity base or liner, for repair of porcelain or composite, and for blocking out cavity undercuts before fabricating indirect restorations. The highly flowable, low-viscosity OMNICHRO-MA Flow BULK offers easy handling and placement, while simplifying inventory management, increasing workflow efficiency, and reducing composite waste.
