Kerr Introduces Vertise Flow: A Self-Adhering Composite
January 10, 2010
Kerr introduces Vertise Flow, the company’s first self-adhering flowable composite.
The self-adhering flowable composite technology eliminates the need for a separate bonding application step with composites for direct restorative procedures.
Powered by Kerr’s OptiBond adhesive technology, the product simplifies the direct restorative procedure for today’s time-challenged dentist. It incorporates the bonding agent into the flowable, a feature that sets Vertise Flow apart from competitors.
Product Manager Mikhanh Pham said, “Vertise Flow’s incorporated adhesive creates a tenacious bond to tooth structure and protects against microleakage. Bond strengths to dentin and enamel are comparable to other self-etch adhesives.”
David Tobia, vice president of research and development, explained the technology further.
“GPDM is a unique molecular entity containing a phosphate group that bonds to the calcium in the hydroxyapatite, and a methacrylate functionality that bonds to the monomers in the resin matrix,” Tobia said. “Thus, GPDM, with its dual chemical roles, is the glue that affords Vertise Flow its unique properties.”
Clinical studies through independent research validate low microleakage and high bond strengths.
