Nanofil Aligner Attachment Flowable Composite

Precision Flow. Shape Stability. Reliable Bonding.

Nanofil Aligner Attachment Flowable Composite is a low-viscosity, visible light-cured nanofilled composite engineered for high-precision orthodontic aligner attachments and minimally invasive restorative procedures. Its optimized rheology ensures excellent flow without slumping, enabling accurate attachment geometry, intimate surface adaptation, and predictable clinical outcomes.

Packaged in convenient syringe delivery systems and available in multiple tooth-matching shades, Nanofil delivers controlled handling, low polymerization shrinkage, and durable wear resistance, making it ideal for both orthodontic and restorative applications.

Nanofil Aligner Attachment Flowable Composite

Key Clinical Applications of Nanofil Flowable Composite:

Nanofil Aligner Attachment Flowable Composite is indicated for:

• Clear aligner attachments

• Class III and Class V restorations

• Minimally invasive restoration of non-stress-bearing cavities

• Base or liner under direct restorations

• Repair of small defects in esthetic indirect restorations

• Pit and fissure sealants

• Undercut block-out procedures

• Repair of resin-based and acrylic temporary materials

Product Advantages of Nanofil Flowable Composite

• Optimized Flowability
  Low viscosity allows deep penetration and precise adaptation to enamel and attachment templates without voids.

• Shape Fidelity for Aligner Attachments
  Maintains smooth, well-defined attachment geometry during tray placement and removal.

• Ultra-Low Polymerization Shrinkage (<2.4%)
  Ensures excellent marginal integrity and long-term bonding stability.

• High Wear Resistance
  Provides durable performance while closely mimicking the mechanical behavior of natural enamel.

• Superior Radiopacity
  X-ray visible for accurate diagnosis, follow-up, and long-term monitoring.

• Natural Esthetics
  Multiple VITA-compatible shades blend seamlessly with natural tooth structure.

Composition of Nanofil Flowable Composite

Nanofil Aligner Attachment Flowable Composite is formulated with:

• Bis-GMA

• TEGDMA

• Nanofilled glass powder

This composition delivers an optimal balance of flow, strength, radiopacity, and esthetic performance.

Contraindications

• Do not use in patients with known hypersensitivity to acrylic resin-based materials.

Possible Side Effects

In rare cases, hypersensitivity reactions may occur due to individual sensitivity to resin components.

Precautions

• This product may cause allergic reactions upon skin or eye contact.

• Use protective gloves, goggles, and a no-touch technique.

• In case of skin contact, wash immediately with soap and water.

• In case of eye contact or allergic reaction, seek medical attention promptly.

Instructions for Use (Clinical Protocol)

1. Cleaning
   Clean the tooth surface using pumice and water to remove stains and debris.

2. Shade Selection
   Select the appropriate shade prior to isolation using a VITAPAN® Classical Shade Guide.
   For aligner attachments or sealants, a contrasting shade may be selected to enhance visibility.

3. Isolation
   Use a rubber dam whenever possible to ensure moisture control.

4. Pulp Protection
   Apply a calcium hydroxide liner where indicated.

5. Etching and Bonding

   • For Class III, Class V, minimally invasive restorations, and sealants:
     Use a total-etch technique with phosphoric acid etchant and compatible bonding agent.

   • Self-etch bonding systems may be used for sensitive patients.

6. Composite Placement
   Apply Nanofil Flowable Composite evenly into the prepared area or attachment template.
   Avoid metal instruments; semi-transparent matrices may be used.

7. Light Curing

   • Light shades: minimum 20 seconds

   • Dark shades: minimum 40 seconds

8. Finishing and Completion

   • Overlay with Nanofil Universal Restorative if used as a base or liner

   • Adjust occlusion, finish, and polish using standard polishing systems

   • For sealants, remove the oxygen-inhibited layer after curing

Storage Conditions

• Store at room temperature (≤ 27°C / 80°F)

• Protect from heat and intense light exposure

• Do not store near eugenol-containing products

• Discard used syringe tips after each application and replace with storage caps

• Disinfect using an intermediate-level liquid disinfection protocol
