A revolutionary new category of composites has emergedVertise Flow

Your practice is our inspiration.™

Vertise Flow

Self-Adhering Flowable Composite

Self-adhering. No separate bonding protocol required. A simplified restorative procedure with excellent performance.

High bond strengths to dentin and enamel. Incorporates clinically proven OptiBond® adhesive technology for excellent bonds to dentin and enamel.

Easy handling. Non-slumping property creates an ideal viscosity for the following indications: liner for large restorations (Class I, Class II), small cavities (Class I, Class II), pit and fi ssure sealants, and porcelain repairs.

High radiopacity. Easily detected on X-rays.

Greatly reduces chance of post-op sensitivity. Exhibits similar characteristics as self-etch materials.

Excellent mechanical properties. Long-lasting, durable fills.

Vertise Flow Powered by OptiBond technology

Vertise™ Flow greatly simplifies your direct restorative procedures

by incorporating a bonding agent into a flowable, which is powered

by Kerr’s renowned OptiBond® adhesive technology. Our leadership

in resin restorative dentistry comes after decades of advancements

in composites and expertise in adhesives—both of which come

together in Vertise Flow.

The Science Behind Vertise Flow

kerrdental.com/vertiseflow

Vertise Flow composite incorporates adhesive technology found in our OptiBond products to create proven bonds to the tooth structure. Vertise Flow bonds in two ways: primarily through the chemical bond between the phosphate functional groups of a GPDM monomer and calcium ions of the tooth. And, secondarily, through a micromechanical bond as a result of an inter-penetrating network formed between the polymerized monomers of Vertise Flow and collagen fibers (as well as the smear layer) of dentin. The diagram below illustrates the bonding mechanism of Vertise Flow to the tooth.

One of the most innovative

products on the market—

this versatile self-adhering

composite, with its multiple uses

and easy handling, saves chair time

and brings comfort to the patient.

The high radiopacity of Vertise Flow enables clear differentiation between restoration and tooth structure.

Acid-resistant inter-diffusion zone between Vertise Flow and dentin ensures long-lasting bond.

1 Prepare cavity. Wash thoroughly with water spray and air dry at maximum air pressure for 5 seconds.

Brush a thin layer (<0.5 mm) of Vertise Flow onto entire cavity wall and beveled area with moderate pressure for 15-20 seconds. Remove excess material around margins with the provided brush, if necessary. Light cure for 20 seconds.*

of universal composite according to manufacturer recommendations.

*For A3.5 and Universal Opaque shades, light cure each increment for 40 seconds. Refer to Directions for Use for complete instructions.

Vertise Flow’s incorporated adhesive creates a tenacious bond to tooth structure and protects against microleakage. Vertise Flow exhibits shear bond strengths to dentin and enamel comparable to self-etch adhesives.

Study conducted by Dr. Mark Latta, Omaha, NE, USA. 24-hr testing. Data available upon request.

Initial polish and gloss retention are both important for fl owable composites to maintain esthetics of restorations over time. After abrasive treatments, Vertise Flow displays similar gloss characteristics to traditional fl owable composites.

Study conducted by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, NOVA Southeastern University. Data available upon request.

Indications include:

• Liner for Large Restorations (Class I, Class II)

• Small Cavities (Class l, Class II)

• Pit & Fissure Sealants

• Porcelain Repairs
