New indications and delivery for SDR

In 2010, Dentsply's SDR flowable composite base material was successfully introduced in a Compula form. Thanks to its extremely low polymerization stress, this bulk-fill posterior composite base material is self-leveling and adapts perfectly to the cavity walls.

Unlike conventional flowables, SDR can be applied in increments of 4mm in one step. SDR can also be capped with any composite. SDR is designed for use as a base in large class I and class II cavities - and now also as a liner for smaller class I cavities or as a fissure sealant, as well as for filling defects or undercuts in tooth preparations for crowns, inlays or onlays. With three years of clinical evidence behind it, SDR has become a world success, having been used for direct dental restorations in millions of cases. From October 2012, SDR will also be available in a pre-filled syringe, making the application of this composite material even more flexible for the dentist.
