Alert Condensable Composite, packed with over 10 years of independently validated* clinical success, is a posterior restorative material designed to be a viable amalgam alternative. What sets Alert Condensable Composite apart from other composites is a proprietary chopped glass fiber filler that contributes to its amalgam-like handling characteristics and exceptional physical properties.

Flowable composite is frequently used as a base liner is practiced by many clinicians because of the intimate contact it makes with all line and point angles, amalgam and composite. Because we believe you may find it useful, especially in deep preparations, we have included Flow-It ALC flowable composite in the kit. Flow-It ALC flowable composite is ideal for use under all types of restorations.
Yes, you can polish Alert Composite as you would any composite.
Independent university testing shows Alert Condensable Composite to have an extraordinarily low wear rate of 3.5µm/year and a high flexural modulus. Alert Condensable Composite has less tendency to pull away from the margin when stressed, reducing stress on both the tooth and the bonding agent. With an overall filler loading of 84% by weight, Alert Condensable Composite also offers exceptional compressive and edge strengths.
Special micro fibers added to the hybrid filler base creates a carefully balanced composite matrix offering high resistance to the plugging/condensing instrument. The resulting feel is very similar to amalgam with no tackiness or pullback.
