Predicta® Bioactive Bulk-Fill

SKU: PBBGROUP

Universal, Dual-Cure Composite for All Your Restorative Needs

A dual-cure composite that can be used to fill any size cavity preparation, all the way up to the occlusal surface, without any need for additional layering. From large Class V’s to four surface posterior restorations, there are no limits to what you can do with Predicta® Bioactive Bulk.

Predicta Bioactive Bulk is bioactive and releases calcium and phosphate ions and releases and recharges fluoride ions to stimulate mineral apatite formation and remineralization at the material-tooth interface.

  • Dual-cure for unlimited depth of cure
  • Fluorescence for a more natural appearance
  • Multiple viscosities and shades
  • Highly radiopaque
  • Indicated for Class I, II, III, IV, and V restorations
  • Strong and durable to withstand occlusal forces
  • Highly polishable
  • Nanohybrid versatility

 
What is Bioactivity?

Bioactivity is known in the field to equate to stronger bonds between the restoration and tooth, penetration and filling of micro-gaps, reduction in sensitivity, guard against secondary caries, and the sealing of margins against microleakage.


“One of the best characteristics of Predicta is its dual-cure capability. This enables the dentist to fill the cavity in one increment, no matter how large the restoration may be. That saves time and minimizes the shrinkage tension in the tooth restoration interface. Being able to bulk fill in a single increment also minimizes the risk of contamination, as the whole procedure can be done much more quickly and efficiently.”
- Dr. Manouchehr Kiaei

How to Choose the Right Viscosity
Parkell offers Predicta® Bioactive Bulk in a variety of viscosity options to best fit your procedures and preferences.

Regular Viscosity (High Viscosity) is ideally suited for clinical situations when placing larger restorations, where stability is desirable and material drift is not.

LV (Low Viscosity) is recommended for more conservative preps, where the ability to flow and self-level into tighter spaces is preferred for better adaptation of hard-to-access prep margins and line angles.

Both Regular and LV Predicta Bulk versions are appropriate for, and can be used in all restorative situations. These guideline should be considered an aid when choosing a bulk-fill restorative that more closely matches your restorative needs and preferences.

Four Quick Tips for Using Predicta Bioactive Bulk

 

Inside Dentistry Product Talk: Predicta Bioactive Bulk

"Having something that is bioactive—something that lays down well and will create new hydroxyapatite or new tooth structure—is very beneficial.” –  Sheldon Seidman, DDS


“I like Predicta Bulk because it fills in well and sets well. I am happy with how I’m able to trim and polish it, and the color is good. I have found that it flows to the walls of the preparation better than some of the other bulk-fills I have previously used.” – Sheldon Seidman, DDS


“Predicta Bioactive Bulk has amazing esthetics while providing the security of dual-cure chemistry and bioactivity.” – Gregg Helvey, DDS, MAGD, CDT

“It’s really the trifecta — you have a bulk-fill that’s dual-cure with bioactivity, which means you’ve got everything you need.” – Sheldon Seidman, DDS


“At My Dental Company, we only use the highest quality of products. We are consistently looking for what products out there are the best. Parkell and their Predicta Bioactive line is one of those products and we love it. The more that we can create those ongoing and exceptional outcomes for our patients, that is really where we want to be in dentistry.” – Douglas Olson, DDS


“I’ve been using Predicta Bulk to restore Class I and Class II cavities in molars and premolars for two years now. Predicta Bulk has consistently proven to have excellent properties and results. I placed over 2,000 restorations, many of which have been very large, and the failure rate of those restorations has been less than 0.5%.” – Dr. Kiaei


“Predicta Bioactive Bulk is a unique restorative material; it is dual-curing, bioactive and well-suited for bulk application. There is no need for occlusal layering or to add a different composite on top of the bulk restoration. I love the ease with which large restorations can be made; it is a time-saver! The initial chemical curing process is nice and short, but not too short! My patients do not experience any pain after the application of the restoration. The restorations polish well and still look like new after several years.” – Dr. Sjobbe Besseling


“When I started using Predicta, I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent color adaptability of this composite. Using only the A2/B2 shade, I have been able to match almost every tooth shade.” – Dr. Kiaei
