Septodont introduces N'Durance Dimer Flow
November 4, 2008
NEW CASTLE, Delaware--Utilizing an innovation in composite
chemistry, Septodont has introduced a flowable composite,
the N'Durance Dimer Flow.
The chemistry and nano technology formulation enhances
composite properties to minimize shrinkage, enhance ease of
handling and allows for an esthetic material.

This means it offers low shrinkage while allowing high
polymerization. N'Durance Dimer Flow is easy to use,
won't slump and polishes up.
Dimer Flow has a medium viscosity so it won't run, drip or
be too stiff during placement. The high radiopacity allows
the clinician to differentiate tooth structure from the
restoration without guessing.
