Experts‘ opinions on VisCalor and VisCalor bulk

Heat, flow, sculpt - done!? With VisCalor and VisCalor bulk, VOCO has launched the world's first composite with thermo-viscous technology. And the highlight: The material has a low viscosity after extraoral heating and can be applied like a flowable. It flows optimally onto cavity walls and undercuts. It then cools down to body temperature and can be sculpted like a classic packable composite.

 

Brochure with clinical reports

But how does this new technology work in everyday practice? Is a single filling material really all that is required? And what about functionality, stability and aesthetics? Eleven dentists from seven countries have documented their experiences in words and images. Read in our brochure "Case documentation on the first composite with thermally controlled viscosity behaviour - VisCalor / VisCalor bulk" how the material was used in different clinical situations, how it behaves when handled and which results it produces. Well-known authors like Prof. Dr. Jürgen Manhart (Germany), Dr. Walter Denner (Germany), Dr. Miguel Stanley (Portugal) or Dr. Marcelo Balsamo (Brazil) have contributed examples.

 

VisCalor vs. VisCalor bulk

While the bulk-fill variant VisCalor bulk focuses on simple and quick posterior restorations, VisCalor additionally allows for very aesthetic anterior restorations, thanks to its wide range of VITA shades, which include a supplementary translucent shade. This material is compatible with all conventional bonding materials.

 

The handy SingleDose Cap makes application particularly hygienic. Thanks to the long and slim cannula, the material can also be directly applied in hard-to-reach areas and narrow cavities, and application is bubble-free, which contributes to the longevity of the restoration. Durability and stability of the material result from its excellent physical properties: With a filler content of 83% by weight and a very low shrinkage rate of only 1.4% by volume, VisCalor exhibits above-average values in this respect.

 

The Caps Warmer is particularly suitable for heating VisCalor, as it heats up to four caps simultaneously within a short time. This is particularly advantageous when working in several increments or with several shades. In combination with VisCalor bulk, the VisCalor Dispenser is the ideal device to use. Quickly, easily and with only one tool, the composite caps can be heated and then applied immediately.
