Product Description:
- Bulk Fill Flowable Composite with Bioactive GIOMER Technology.
- Product Packaging Images: Show the BEAUTIFIL-Bulk Flowable syringe (2.4g) and tips (0.23g x 20), along with the box. Displays the available shades (Universal and Dentin).
- Shade Tabs: Visual representation of the two available shades: Universal and Dentin.
- Images: Identical to the Restorative version, showing "Minimal Bacteria" and "Advanced Bacterial Colonization," illustrating the anti-bacterial effect.
Functional:
- Beautifil-Bulk Flowable is the ideal light-cure dentin replacement material for deep restorations. For years glass ionomer was used for dentin replacement, but long curing times caused significantly reduced productivity, making this impractical until resin-based alternatives emerged. With physical properties similar to dentin, 4mm depth of cure, and the lowest shrinkage stress in this category, Beautifil-Bulk Flowable is the perfect choice for sensitivity-free dentin replacement and maximum clinical efficiency.
- Two charts for Shrinkage stress and Filler Load.
BIOACTIVE GIOMER TECHNOLOGY INSIDE:
- Shofu's proprietary Giomer Technology gives Beautifil-Bulk Flowable anti-bacterial and acid neutralizing effects to minimize problems caused by bacterial proliferation such as secondary decay and restorative failure. A Univ. of Florida Dental School clinical study showed no secondary decay or failures after 8 years! Beautifil-Bulk Flowable is the only bulk flow product to combine bioactive benefits with speed and clinical efficiency.
Overall Product Description
- BEAUTIFIL-Bulk Flowable is a light-cured, flowable composite specifically designed for use as a dentin replacement in deep restorations.
- It combines the efficiency of bulk filling (4mm increments) with the bioactive benefits of GIOMER technology.
Key Material Properties:
- Flowable Consistency: Allows for easy adaptation to cavity walls and bases.
- 4mm Depth of Cure: Enables efficient placement in thicker layers.
- Lowest Shrinkage Stress: Minimizes stress on the tooth structure and reduces the risk of postoperative sensitivity and marginal gaps. The graph compares its shrinkage stress and filler load favorably against Filtek Bulk Fill, Surefil SDR Flow, and Venus Bulk Fill.
- Physical Properties Similar to Dentin
Bioactive GIOMER Technology:
- Same as in BEAUTIFIL-Bulk Restorative: Provides fluoride release/recharge, anti-bacterial properties, and acid neutralization.
- 8-Year Clinical Study: References the same study (1. Gordan V.V., et al.) as the Restorative version, highlighting the long-term clinical success. Claims it's the only bulk flow product to combine bioactive benefits with speed and efficiency.
Available Shades:
- Universal
- Dentin
Packaging:
- 2.4g syringes.
- 0.23g tips (packs of 20).

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Answers to your questions and inquiries about the product
What is the primary use of BEAUTIFIL-Bulk Flowable?
It is primarily used as a dentin replacement material in deep restorations, acting as a base or liner under a final restorative layer (like BEAUTIFIL-Bulk Restorative or another composite).
How does BEAUTIFIL-Bulk Flowable compare to traditional glass ionomer materials for dentin replacement?
The advertisement claims that while glass ionomers were traditionally used, their long curing times reduced productivity. BEAUTIFIL-Bulk Flowable offers similar physical properties to dentin, a 4mm depth of cure, and low shrinkage stress, making it a more efficient and potentially more reliable option.
What is the significance of the low shrinkage stress?
Low shrinkage stress minimizes the forces exerted on the tooth structure during polymerization, reducing the risk of postoperative sensitivity, marginal gaps, and potential restoration failure.
Is BEAUTIFIL-Bulk Flowable only for posterior teeth?
While bulk-fill materials are generally used in posterior teeth, the flowable consistency could potentially be useful in certain anterior situations where a flowable is needed as a base or liner. However, the limited shade range might be a constraint for anterior aesthetics.
What makes BEAUTIFIL-Bulk Flowable unique compared to other flowable bulk-fill composites?
The advertisement claims it is the only bulk flow product that combines the bioactive benefits of GIOMER technology with the speed and efficiency of bulk filling.
How deep can I cure BEAUTIFIL-Bulk flowable?
You can cure it up to 4mm.
