SDR Flow+ is a low-viscosity, self-levelling bulk-fill composite designed principally for direct restorations, especially in posterior cases. Its key features and advantages include:

• Bulk-fill capability: SDR allows placement of up to 4 mm in a single increment, reducing the number of layers required compared to conventional composites.
• Low polymerisation stress: Its formulation produces less shrinkage stress, which helps minimise marginal gaps, postoperative sensitivity and restoration failure.
• Excellent cavity adaptation: The self-levelling property means it flows into recesses, undercuts and difficult-to-reach areas, improving the seal and adapting well to the cavity walls.
• Efficiency and productivity: Fewer layers and faster placement translate into reduced procedure time, benefiting both the clinician (through increased productivity) and the patient (shorter treatment).
• Clinical evidence: Long-term studies show performance equivalent to conventional layering techniques for Class I/II restorations, with no increase in failure rates or sensitivity.
• Three additional shades: A1, A2 and A3 shades to simplify aesthetic matching in a wider range of applications.
• Enhanced wear resistance: Modified glass filler package that significantly increases durability.
• Increased radiopacity: provides improved X-ray visibility.

In an era where dental practices are under pressure to deliver efficient, high-quality care, materials like SDR Flow+ that enable one-step bulk placement, predictable outcomes and time savings can be increasingly valuable.
