An advance in condensable composites

With the constant advance of technology and the public's increasing awareness of esthetically pleasing restorations, alternatives for amalgam and early composite materials have been brought to the forefront of dentistry. Condensable composites offer characteristics that distinguish them from their traditional hybrid counterparts: decreased wear, packability, and bulk curing with less polymerization shrinkage. Prodigy Condensable expands the first generation of condensables by altering its resin phase to make the material more packable. Through increased filler content and methacryoyloxyethlpolycaprolactonephosphate and rheological control additives, this second-generation condensable composite possesses strength and ease of use comparable to and even exceeding amalgam while demonstrating superior esthetics for all posterior restorations.
