CLINICIANS REPORT™ Names Venus Diamond Flow Among Best Resin-Based Composites

Versatile flowable composite boasts superior low-shrinkage stress and exquisite color adaptation; “good viscosity, good shade matching, and good polish” noted

SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, July 27, 2011 — Heraeus Kulzer, LLC, the worldwide leader in dental esthetics and overall dental wellbeing, is proud to announce that Venus Diamond® Flow, the breakthrough flowable composite known for its superior low shrinkage stress and exquisite color adaptation, has been named among the 2010 best Resin-Based Composites in the Gordon J. Christensen CLINICIANS REPORT™.

Initiated in 1976 by Drs. Gordon J. and Rella P. Christensen as Clinical Research Associates®, the CR Foundation® publishes the Gordon J. Christensen CLINICIANS REPORT™ monthly in 10 languages. Its annual “Best Products” report shares the best materials, devices, and techniques in a given year, as determined by teams of evaluators in the field and within its clinical facility. CLINICIANS REPORT™ is also circulated throughout 90 countries.

In the December 2010 publication, Venus Diamond® Flow’s “good viscosity, good shade matching, and good polish for minimal preps or resin liners” was noted. As part of the review process, more than 70% of CR evaluators noted that they would purchase this product. Six additional resin-based composites also earned this designation; all were compared to 4 industry-standard products as controls.

“Venus Diamond® Flow’s ranking among the top flowable composites in the Gordon J. Christensen CLINICIANS REPORT™ adds to its long list of noteworthy attributes,” notes Jennifer Kalinowski, Sr. Product Manager. “We are humbled by the recognition that this trusted, reputable publication has given to one of Heraeus’ top-rated products.”

Dental professionals long demanded a flowable composite with superb color adaptation, enhanced low-shrinkage stress, and multiple capabilities in the dental operatory. Heraeus answered that call with Venus Diamond® Flow, a flowable, nanohybrid composite that possesses a unique combination of high flexural strength, optimal handling properties, and an innovative diamond formula that makes it an excellent match to adjacent tooth shades. It also boasts color stability, polishability, and long-lasting shine

With its radiopaque properties, as confirmed by a research group at the University of Michigan,* Venus Diamond® Flow is easily distinguished from residual tooth structure, ensuring an optimal, reliable diagnosis. Additionally, its flowable consistency makes it a multifunctional composite, ideal for cervical fillings, small-area carious lesions, or as a liner under composite restorations to reduce postoperative sensitivity and prevent micro-leakage. It can also be used as a sealant for pediatric pits and fissures or for bonding orthodontic brackets.

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. Both products are part of the Venus® Esthetic System, which offers dentists and laboratories a unified, integrated and simplified approach to esthetic restorations. With a single-brand solution, Venus® enables dentists and dental laboratories to restore patients’ smiles with the best high-end esthetic restorations.
