VENUS Bulk Flow ONE

Using Venus Bulk Flow ONE without capping layer is beneficial in all clinical cases where a flowable viscosity is ideal during placement, e.g. slot or small cavities or those with tunnel preps, class III restorations with intact labial wall or class V restorations. From a patient per-spective, Venus Bulk Flow ONE is furthermore ideal in cases with little patient compliance or time. By preference or if patients demand a natural morphology, Venus Bulk Flow ONE can always be used with capping layer, too. Using Venus Diamond or Venus Pearl on top might be advisable in big cavities or cusp replacements.

In case of severe discolourations, the tooth-coloured opaque shade Venus Diamond Flow OM (Opaque Medium) can be used. Alternatively, the white-opaque Venus Diamond Flow Baselin-er can be used at the bottom of the cavity. This allows the coverage of discolourations and prevents the unnecessary removal of healthy tooth substance in case of a re-entry.

Venus Bulk Flow ONE is a flowable bulk-filling composite with curing depths of up to 4mm whereas the high-viscous composites Venus Diamond and Venus Pearl in ONE Shade are ap-plied in incremental layering techniques in 2mm. The two different viscosities and application techniques imply different benefits complementing each-other in everyday posterior restora-tions.

Yes, Venus Bulk Flow ONE fillings are easily recognized on X-rays which supports a reliable diagnosis. Its radiopacity with app. 300%-Al is much higher than the radiopacity of dentine (100Al%) and enamel (200Al%).

Venus Bulk Flow ONE is indicated for class III and class V restorations. The Adaptive Light Matching ensures an optimised colour adaptation in ONE shade. Customers have especially made good experience in terms of shade match if the class III restoration has a small labial part or an intact labial wall.

The ONE shade has been optimised to deliver the perfect balance of chroma and translucency that allows the restoration to become virtually invisible. Therefore, the ONE shade can be used with confidence in any Class I and Class II restoration. And this colour adaptation is what we call Adaptive Light Matching.

Independent from its usability, Venus Bulk Flow ONE is not indicated for class IV cavities.

Venus Bulk Flow ONE complies with ISO4049 and is released for posterior restorations includ-ing occlusal surfaces. Its flexural strength of 120MPa is on a level or even superior than lead-ing high-viscous composites which ensures a reliable resistance against mastication forces.

Venus Bulk Flow ONE has shown comparable wear rates to other composites indicated for the restoration of occlusal surfaces in the posterior region based on standard test methods.

Venus Bulk Flow ONE does not bleach or age in colour itself. However, its Light Adaptive Matching ensures a colour match to any dentition which still applies to a certain extend to teeth getting bleached or that are aging. Kulzer however recommends whitening procedure to be completed a minimum of 14 days prior to placing the composite restoration. This is to en-sure an ideal fit in colour and proper curing of the dental adhesive.

Venus Bulk Flow ONE is based on established multifunctional methacrylate monomers (UD-MA, EBADMA).

Venus Bulk Flow ONE can be combined with all commercially available (meth)acrylate-based composites and bondings. We recommend the use of the universal nano-hybrid composite Venus Diamond or Venus Pearl as well as the bonding agents iBOND Universal or iBOND To-tal Etch.

Venus Bulk Flow ONE contains approximately 65 % by weight, or 41 % by volume inorganic fillers such as Ba-AI-F silicate glass, YbF3 and SiO2. The filler particle size is between 0.02 μm and 5 μm.

The glass fillers, used in the composite compound, contain fluoride. The glass structure bonds the fluoride ionicly and in this form, it is less soluble compared to sodium fluoride. This is why we can state that Venus Bulk Flow ONE releases some fluoride traces but beyond any clinical or caries protective relevance.

Independent from its usability, Venus Bulk Flow ONE is not indicated for cementing veneers.
