Seeing is believing
Come check out a product demonstration of BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus
n Shofu Dental is holding product
demonstrations at booth No. 1906,
featuring its new injectable hybrid
restorative, BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus.
This restorative combines hybridlike strength and functionality,
unique handling and stackability and
a flowable delivery. Additionally, the
material has 15 percent more radiopacity than enamel and offers the

benefit of fluoride release and rechargability.
Those interested in seeing the
material firsthand are encouraged to
come see what all the excitement is
about at the Shofu booth.
According to Shofu, BEAUTIFIL
Flow Plus is lauded as the next step
in the evolution of restorative materials based on its convenient flowable

leading hybrid composites.
Brian Melonakos, president of
Shofu Dental, said he has been very
pleased with the success of the product. “We’ve always known that we
have an amazing product on our hands
… but none of us imagined how quickly
it would catch on,” he said.
Unlike other flowables, BEAUTIFIL
Flow Plus has stay-put handling and
physical properties that allow use
on the occlusal surface and marginal
ridge, eliminating the need to pack a
hybrid composite on top.
A flowable base, liner and final
restorative material, BEAUTIFIL
Flow Plus is approved for all indications (Class I–V). With a smooth, selfleveling consistency, the material
leaves a tight marginal seal on the
bottom and a smooth ready-to-polish
surface on top.
Moreover, Shofu’s proprietary
S-PRG (surface pre-reacted glass) technology provides sustained fluoride
release and recharge that can’t be
found in any other composite material.
BEAUTIFIL Flow Plus is available in
two distinct viscosities. F00 (zero flow)
offers precision stacking, and F03 (low
flow) is an ideal base/liner.
For a limited time only, BEAUTIFIL
Flow Plus is available in two introductory kits. The standard kit (PN 2000S)
offers two 2.2-gram syringes of both
viscosities in shades A2 and A3, and
the pedo kit (PN 2000P) offers two 2.2gram syringes in both viscosities in
shades A1 and bleach white.
Both kits also contain samples of
Shofu’s top-selling products, including the seventh-generation bonding
agent BeautiBond, One Gloss, Super
Snap and Shofu’s hybrid material,
BEAUTIFIL II.
The kits retail for $99.95 (a $160
value).

The facebow goes digital
If you can’t send your
patient to the lab, this
just might be the next
best thing
n Great smile design.
Artfully crafted ceramic.
Canted results.
It’s happened to the best of us.
You take the bite impression and the
symmetry bite, work with a facebow,
send everything off to the lab and
cross your fingers it comes back as
you intended it. But unless you ship
your patient off to the lab, final results
may vary.
The digital era has brought countless advances to cosmetic dentistry.
Today, we introduce the digital
facebow. Using a facial picture of
your patient, you can now eliminate
uncomfortable and cumbersome traditional facebows.
Placing the digital facebow at the
tip of the centrals and centered with
the dental midline, you can align your

smile simulation with either the long
axis of the face or the lip line. Because
every patient is different, you will
determine which axis to align your
case simulation with to most enhance
the beauty of your patient’s smile.
Once you have worked out the best
smile simulation, using your patient’s

facial tissues, the file can be sent to
the lab.
Encoded in the file are the M
lines. The M lines are calibrated with
measurements taken directly on the
patient or on the model. This will
allow accurate future measurements
to be taken from the 2-D picture and

translated in 3-D on the articulator.
The Y-axis of each tooth is parallel
to the long axis of the face or perpendicular to the smile line. A template is
printed and positioned on the articulator. The centrals sit on the X-axis
provided by the template.
The yaw is achieved by the dental
technician using the position of the
pre-op model and each Y-axis of the
M lines. Once the X and Y axes are
locked into place, the pitch is determined. Using the calibrated picture,
the dental technician can extract
measurements to achieve the correct
pitch.
Short of placing your patient on the
articulator, the digital facebow is the
most accurate, high-precision system
out there. Achieving the results you
envisioned is now easier than ever.
