OMNICHROMA BLOCKER FLOW: Specialized Opaque Flowable Composite

OMNICHROMA BLOCKER FLOW from Tokuyama Dental is a specially formulated, light-cured opaque flowable composite designed for use in combination with the revolutionary single-shade materials in the OMNICHROMA line (both paste and Flow). Its main function is to block excessive background translucency and mask discoloration.

The 3 g syringe provides a highly controlled, high-opacity material that is a key element in achieving maximum aesthetics when working with deep or discolored cavities.

Key Features and Technologies

• High Opacity (Background Blocking): BLOCKER FLOW has a high degree of opacity, specifically calibrated for effective masking.

  • Advantage: When using the main OMNICHROMA composite (which is highly translucent for a better "chameleon effect"), BLOCKER FLOW is applied to the cavity floor or over dark dentin/amalgam to prevent light "washout" and preserve the natural brightness of the restoration.

• Consistency and Control: The material has a flowable consistency but is viscous enough to remain under control.

  • Advantage: It is easily applied in a thin, uniform layer of 0.5 - 1.0 mm (which is optimal for opaque materials) and perfectly adapts to the cavity shape.

• Spherical Nanofiller Technology: BLOCKER FLOW, as part of the OMNICHROMA system, also uses spherical nanofillers.

  • Advantage: This ensures low polymerization shrinkage and high physical strength for an opaque liner.

• Compatibility with OMNICHROMA: It is an integral part of the single-shade system, ensuring that the "smart" OMNICHROMA composite applied over it can perfectly mimic the tooth color.

  • Advantage: Used as an opaque base that helps the OMNICHROMA composite replicate the dentin layer.

Indications for Use

• Masking Discoloration: Application onto the floor or walls of the cavity to block the color of discolored dentin.

• Base Layer (Liner): Creating an opaque foundation for OMNICHROMA single-shade composites.

• Masking metallic amalgam fillings.

• Volume restoration before placing the main composite in deep cavities.

OMNICHROMA BLOCKER FLOW is an indispensable tool for dentists using the OMNICHROMA system who require a controlled way to neutralize a dark background, ensuring ideal conditions for achieving the final aesthetic result.
