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.”

How to Choose the Right ViscosityParkell 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.
