Kerr Introduces SimpliShade Self-Adhesive Flow

BREA, Calif., October 7, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Kerr Dental is proud to introduce SimpliShade™ Self-Adhesive Flow. Formerly Vertise™ Flow, SimpliShade™ Self-Adhesive Flow eliminates the need for a separate bonding protocol, streamlining the restorative process for dental professionals. This innovative product incorporates Kerr’s renowned OptiBond™ adhesive technology, ensuring high bond strengths to both dentin and enamel.

SimpliShade™ Self-Adhesive Flow leverages the adhesive technology found in Kerr’s OptiBond products, creating proven bonds to tooth structure. The composite bonds chemically through the phosphate functional groups of a GPDM monomer and calcium ions of the tooth and micromechanically through an inter-penetrating network formed between polymerized monomers and collagen fibers.

SimpliShade Self-Adhesive Flow incorporates a simplified shade range of Light, Medium, and Dark to match most classic VITA® Shades. In addition to simplified shade matching, by incorporating an adhesive directly into the composite, eliminating the need for a separate bonding agent, this product can help dental practices save on inventory costs.

Exhibiting the same characteristics inherent in self-etch materials, SimpliShade Self-Adhesive flow also greatly reduces the change of post-op sensitivity and has a high radiopacity, making it easily detectable on x-rays. 

“One of the most innovative products to appear on the market in quite some time. Its versatility allows for use in multiple indications, saving chair time for the clinician while creating a better experience for the patient,” says Dr. Stephen D. Poss. 

SimpliShade Self-Adhesive Flow is now available. To learn more and schedule a demo, visit https://www.kerrdental.com/kerr-restoratives/simplishade-self-adhesive-flow-composites.
