5 G-ænial Universal Flo Technical Manual
4.0 Features and benefits
G-ænial universal Flo offers intelligent and convenient solutions to improve the characteristics of a
flowable composite:
Longevity and endurance
G-ænial universal Flo benefits from the design, amount and dispersion of fillers that result in
improved physical performance that is similar to a regular composite and the ability to use this
flowable composite for all classes of direct composite restorations.
Superior handling properties
Being runny and not easy to keep in place, to achieve a restoration with a traditional flowable
composite is not always easy.
One of the exclusive advantages of G-ænial universal Flo is its viscosity, which is carefully balanced
in order to provide a material that flows smoothly for easy placement in the cavity and that is also
thixotropic thereby allowing it to stay in position when placed.
The design of the syringe has also been adapted to offer ergonomic and precise application of the
material.
Astonishing Polishability
G-ænial universal Flo benefits from high polishability, resulting in excellent aesthetics. The gloss
rate that can be achieved just by finishing and removing the inhibition layer is very impressive, and
in this regards G-ænial universal Flo can be considered a self-polishing material.
Furthermore, G-ænial universal Flo maintains its high polish over time.
Sample a Sample b Sample c
The three samples are of different composites: samples a & B are competitive products and sample c is G-ænial universal Flo.
all composites were cured according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The last composite layer for all samples was cured
under an air barrier to avoid creation of an air inhibition layer. The results demonstrated the high initial gloss that can be
achieved with G-ænial universal Flo prior to any polishing, and in comparison with competitive materials.
