CLEARFIL AP-X ESTHETICS FLOW

• High filler load & advanced fillers: The material uses “special submicron fillers” for improved strength and polishability.

• Flowable consistency yet high performance: Although flowable, it is intended for use in a wide range of restorations (even occlusal surface restorations are mentioned) giving it versatility.

• Esthetic matching/shades: The shade system is aligned with CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES Flow, giving better aesthetic integration.

• Easy polishing & smooth surface: Thanks to the fine fillers and good matrix-filler integration.

⚙️ Technical Specifications

Here are some of the available data:

• Filler loading: ~ 75 wt% is mentioned in one supplier listing for the “Esthetics Flow” version.

• Indications: Use for all cavity classes including occlusal surface restorations.

• Shades: Available in esthetic shades matching the MAJESTY ES Flow shade guide.

• Additional data such as exact flexural strength, shrinkage, etc for this specific “Esthetics Flow” variant are less prominently published — you may need to refer to the full brochure from Kuraray for complete values.

📝 Clinical Tips & Considerations

• Because it is a flowable composite with high filler loading and good polishability, it can be very useful in small cavities, veneers, occlusal wear areas, or where adaptation is important yet you still want strong mechanical properties.

• Ensure correct curing (light-cure) and follow manufacturer’s instructions for layering/polishing to maximize the esthetic and mechanical performance.

• Even though it is “universal flowable”, for heavier load-bearing posterior restorations one may still consider a universal hybrid composite rather than rely solely on a flowable — check the cavity size, depth, and functional load before selecting.

• Because shades correspond with the MAJESTY ES Flow shade guide, using that guide can help with correct shade matching — reduce inventory of multiple flowable shades by matching to larger system.

• Ensure good isolation, proper bonding/adhesive protocols, and finishing/polishing to achieve optimal surface gloss and longevity.
