C hapter 9 ORTHODONTIC COMPOSITES
Ultradent Products PermaFlo
Composition
Filler Content weight% volume%
Orthodontic composites are commonly used for cementing brackets, bonding bands, and placing retainer wires. The materials are usually light-curing and some release fluoride.
Micro-hybrid
68%
PermaFlo has an average particle size of 0.7 μm for superior strength and polishability and is radiopaque for clear diagnosis on X-rays. The high filler rate is ideal for the initial layer - The thixotropic properties of the material ensure ideal flowable and optimal adaptation. Application: anterior and posterior restorations, masking of exposed metal, as base/liner under composite. PermaFlo is available in 8 shades.
Reliance Orthodontic Products GoTo GoTo is a light-curing adhesive paste with superior handling properties. Features: • Unique viscosity - stays in place until cured • New patented micro-filler construction • Easy excess removal • Translucent finish matches any tooth color • Maximum bond strength • UV-revealing agent - fluoresces on the tooth Clinical Applications: • Bracket and tube mounting • Fixed connection for the lingual retainer • Bonds all metal, ceramic and composite attachments

Nano-hybrid
80%
GrandioSO Flow and GrandioSO Heavy Flow are flowable restoration materials based on nanotechnology. As with GrandioSO, functionalized SiO2 nanoparticles in these products are combined with glass ceramic particles and a special resin matrix, achieving a filler content greater than 80 weight%. Apart from the filler content, the values of the physical properties of both flowable composites, such as Micro-Vickers hardness, elastic modulus and tensile strength, are not only equal to, but even better than, those of many universal composites. Due to this level of performance, both flowable composites can be used without restriction for all cavity classes, even those with chewing loads.
Reliance Orthodontic Products L.C.R.
L.C.R. is a flowable, light-curing orthodontic adhesive paste for securing lingual retainers, making occlusal build-ups and for securing thermoplastic aligners
Reliance Orthodontic Products Flow Tain Flow Tain Low Viscosity is a flowable light-curing composite. The composite is very easy to polish, which reduces wear and increases patient comfort. It has a low elastic modulus after curing and is not as brittle as conventional composites. Although Flow Tain is a flowable material, its thixotropic properties prevent the material from collapsing for better control. Using the tips provided, Flow Tain can be injected easily onto lingual surfaces and across fiber splints. Clinical Application: Lingual retainer, fastener on thermo-plastic aligner products, splint material, for Indirect bonding and archwire stops.
