FKG Dentaire expands its obturation portfolio with new bioceramic products

FKG Dentaire strives to provide the best products to endodontists and dentists. From 2013, FKG has offered the best-in-class TotalFill family of obturation products. TotalFill provides superior clinical benefits thanks to its unique composition and complete treatment range (cold obturation, warm obturation, tips, points, pellets, paste, putty and fast set putty), and studies have been published in more than 80 publications.

FKG Dentaire will continue to focus primarily on TotalFill. It is the most important, most complete and best product in the FKG obturation portfolio, and no change will be made to the FKG TotalFill offering. The new BC Universal products will be offered in the EU, the UK and Israel in addition to TotalFill in order to support clinicians looking for clinical benefits at a more competitive price.

New bioceramic sealer: BC Universal Sealer

BC Universal Sealer is a premixed ready-to-use injectable calcium aluminosilicate paste developed as a permanent obturator for root canal treatment. It provides biocompatibility, antibacterial effects owing to a high pH > 12 sustained over seven days, bioactivity as a result of hydroxyapatite generation, and excellent adhesion to gutta-percha and dentine. BC Universal Sealer does not shrink during setting, demonstrates excellent root canal sealing capacity and is radiopaque.

New bioceramic root repair material: BC Universal RRM

BC Universal RRM is a ready-to-use capsule containing premixed calcium aluminosilicate paste developed for pulp capping, repair of root canal perforation or resorption, root-end filling and apexification. It provides high biocompatibility, antibacterial effects owing to the alkaline pH, appropriate setting time for application, low solubility, superior dislodgement resistance owing to excellent adhesion to dentine, superior compressive strength, high stability, radiopacity and colour stability.

With these new products, FKG now provides a more complete obturation portfolio to support all practitioners. TotalFill, FKG’s best obturation product, provides excellent clinical benefits and a complete synergistic treatment range. In selected countries, and in addition to the TotalFill portfolio, BC Universal brings clinical benefits at a more competitive price.
