Kerr Dental’s introduction of SimpliShade™ Self-Adhesive Flow aims to simplify the restorative dental process by eliminating the need for a separate bonding protocol. This product integrates the adhesive directly into the composite by leveraging the proven OptiBond™ technology, which forms strong chemical and mechanical bonds to tooth structures. By combining both adhesion and restorative material into one, the product can reduce inventory needs and streamline procedures for dental professionals.
Available in a simplified range of Light, Medium, and Dark shades, Kerr Dental’s SimpliShade™ Self-Adhesive Flow covers most classic VITA® Shades, making it easier to match patients' teeth. Its high radiopacity makes it easily detectable on X-rays, and its self-etching qualities lower the chances of post-operative sensitivity, which benefits both clinicians and patients.
