Clinicians' experience of SDR

"Being able to cure up to 4mm is a great advantage of SDR and makes life easy and treatment quicker. It's simple to finish off with a composite filling material to ensure an aesthetically pleasing result."

- Dr C Slabbert  

"I found it quite nice and easy to use, especially with the new applicator tip. I'm happier when I know there is a deeper curing depth, and for me the main difference has been the faster curing time." 

- Dr A.H.P. Bradley  

"It means more accurate placement and a quicker treatment time as the need to build up in layers has been removed."  

- Dr Stevenson 

"The 'flowability' of the product is very good and the rapid setting all the way through in deep sections is a big advantage for rapid placement of composite restorations." 

 - Dr Mark Overend 

"I shall be using SDR in the future, and would certainly recommend it to other dentists." 

- Dr Lester Aldridge  

"It's a nice material to work with in terms of its ease of use, such as being able to cure quickly in large increments. Another good feature is the self-levelling quality of SDR, something that other flowable composites don't have."

- Dr Hemini Desai
