Ivoclar Vivadent is pleased to introduce IPS Empress Direct Flow, a light-curing flowable nano-hybrid composite developed for the creation of highly-esthetic restorations in the anterior region. IPS Empress Direct Flow offers the esthetics of a ceramic with the convenience of a composite.
IPS Empress Direct Flow is the perfect addition to the IPS Empress Direct product line. Available in three effect shades (Bleach XL, Opalescent and Trans 30), IPS Empress Direct Flow enables dentists to more easily create restorations in even the most esthetically demanding cases. The Opalescent shade offers unparalleled results to highly translucent opalescent incisal edges, while Trans 30 creates life-like translucency found in the majority of anterior incisal edges. IPS Empress Direct Flow is also available in Bleach XL which gives the dentist the ability to recreate true-to-nature characteristics, including fluorosis.
IPS Empress Direct Flow was developed specifically for the placement of anterior restorations (Classes III, IV), esthetic effects in the incisal-third, all small restorations and repair of composite or ceramic veneers. The material was created with improved and innovative material sciences and demonstrates excellent polishability, optimal surface affinity to ensure stability and improved consistency which allows the dentist to sculpt/contour with either a brush or spatula.
For over 20 years, the IPS Empress System has been associated with the best in convenience, reliability, and esthetics in all-ceramics. Gaining a reputation for producing long-lasting, naturally-appearing results, over 40 million restorations have been fabricated with the IPS Empress System to date. IPS Empress Direct Flow makes these same promises in a direct nano-hybrid flowable composite restorative material.
