In today’s restorative dentistry landscape, clinicians need materials that balance precision, strength and aesthetics. SDI Luna Flow universal flowable composite is designed to meet these needs, offering controlled handling, reliable mechanical properties and natural-looking outcomes across a wide range of indications.
Controlled flow for precise placement
A common challenge with any flowable composite dental material is achieving flow without losing control. SDI Luna Flow is designed to flow on demand and hold its shape, helping clinicians place material accurately in liners, bases, Class V restorations and repair procedures.
Available in both regular viscosity and Luna Flow LV, clinicians can choose the level of flow that best suits their technique and clinical indication.
Strength and radiopacity you can rely on
When selecting a universal flowable composite, strength and radiographic visibility are critical. SDI reports Luna Flow offers:
- High compressive strength of 421 MPa, supporting posterior restorative dentistry applications.
- Flexural strength of 128 MPa, helping restorations perform under functional stress, particularly in Class V cases.
- Radiopacity of 265% Al, improving contrast against dentine and enamel for easier diagnosis.
These properties support its use as a radiopaque flowable composite for dental restorations, where both performance and visibility matter.
Aesthetic outcomes with simplified shade matching
For clinicians focused on aesthetic restorative dentistry, Luna Flow incorporates Logical Shade Matching Technology, with a chameleon effect designed to mimic natural tooth structure across different lighting conditions.
This supports more predictable shade matching and natural-looking restorations in both anterior and posterior workflows, making it a strong option for composite veneer techniques and everyday restorative cases.
Injectable composite veneers in practice
A clinical case by Dr Amy Calvin demonstrates the use of Luna Flow composite for anterior restorations using an injectable composite veneer technique.
In this case, Luna Flow 2XB was selected for its viscosity, polishability and shade characteristics. The outcome included:
- Improved symmetry and tooth proportions
- Enhanced opacity and shade uniformity
- A high-gloss, natural finish with strong patient satisfaction
This highlights how Luna Flow can support minimally invasive aesthetic dentistry workflows while maintaining efficient clinical application.
High polishability for long-term results
Surface finish is key in aesthetic dental composites. Luna Flow’s filler formulation is designed for excellent polishability, wear resistance and longevity, supporting enamel-like lustre over time.
In clinical use, polishing protocols and maintenance, including periodic recalls and repolishing, can help maintain long-term aesthetics and performance.
A universal flowable composite for everyday dentistry
From liners and bases to repairs and Class V flowable composite applications, SDI Luna Flow provides a versatile option for modern dental practices.
For New Zealand clinicians seeking a high polish flowable composite that supports both function and aesthetics, Luna Flow offers a practical solution across a wide range of restorative scenarios.
