Venus Diamond® Flow by Heraeus: A Superior Flowable Composite With Exquisite Color Adaptation

Versatile flowable composite boasts superior low-shrinkage stress and exquisite color adaptation; ideal for both pediatric and adult patients

SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, June 27, 2011— Dental professionals have demanded a flowable composite with superb color adaptation, enhanced low-shrinkage stress, and multiple capabilities in the dental operatory. Patients of all ages – from pediatric patients to baby boomers to senior citizens – desire esthetic, high-quality restorations that stand the test of time, all while blending seamlessly into their natural dentition.

Heraeus, the worldwide leader in dental esthetics and overall dental wellbeing, has responded to patients’ and dentists’ demands with the introduction of Venus® Diamond Flow, a flowable composite that boasts superior low-shrinkage stress and exquisite color adaptation. The breakthrough composite is ideally suited for the many needs of pediatric patients, but can also be successfully used across all age groups, from young adults, to baby boomers, to seniors.

“I routinely use Venus Diamond Flow for my child and adolescent patients,” says Fred S. Margolis, DDS, a clinical instructor at Loyola University, adjunct clinical assistant professor at the University of Illinois College of Dentistry, and a pediatric dentist in private practice. “The advantages to this particular flowable composite include the increased strength (versus a sealant), low shrinkage stress, and high flexural strength. It also has the advantage of being an exact shade match with the Venus Diamond composite system.”

Flowable composites such as Venus Diamond Flow have many indications in the pediatric dental practice: They can be used as a sealant for pits and fissures, type 2 preventive resin restorations for small-area carious lesions of the enamel and dentin, or for bonding orthodontic brackets. In the general or family practice, they can be used as a liner under composite restorations to reduce postoperative sensitivity and prevent microleakage, and in certain circumstances, as a standalone restorative material.

Due to their versatility, flowable composites should also have several characteristics to promote ease of use: flowable consistency, color adaptive qualities, color stability, radiopacity, shades that correspond to composites, polishability, and long-lasting shine. In addition to these above-mentioned qualities, Venus Diamond Flow has the uniquely desirable attributes of superior low-shrinkage stress and exquisite color adaptation.

“One of the many advantageous properties of flowable composites is their ability to repair previously placed composite restorations,” notes Dr. Margolis in the April issue of Dentistry Today. “I use Venus Diamond Flow in this instance due to studies indicating its excellent bond strength, low shrinkage stress, and shade matching quality.”

Venus Diamond Flow builds on the established characteristics of Venus® Diamond, which embodies the perfect balance of science and esthetics with its patented diamond formula, exceptional durability, unique handling, and easy shade matching. Venus® Diamond's optimized physical properties are ideally suited for both simple and complex anterior and posterior restorations. It is the newest product to join the Venus® Esthetic System, which offers dentists and laboratories a unified, integrated and simplified approach to esthetic restorations. Heraeus is the first and only dental manufacturer to deliver a fully integrated esthetic restoration that encompasses both direct composite solutions and indirect porcelain solutions.
