3M Filtek Universal Restorative Composite
A universal composite restorative material offering sculptable handling and a range of shades for both anterior and posterior dental fillings.
3M Filtek Universal Restorative is a universal composite material used by dentists to place direct fillings in both anterior and posterior teeth. It is designed with sculptability in mind, giving the clinician the handling characteristics needed to shape the material accurately before curing, which supports creating a natural looking result in visible front teeth as well as functional restorations in back teeth.
The composite is available in one universal opacity along with eight designer shades, plus an Extra White option, giving practices a shade range that can be matched to a variety of natural tooth colours without needing to stock multiple separate composite systems for anterior versus posterior work. Because it is positioned as a single system covering both esthetic and functional restorative needs, Filtek Universal Restorative allows a practice to simplify its composite inventory while still being able to select an appropriate shade for the case in front of them.
General dental practices placing a high volume of direct composite restorations typically keep a broad shade range of a universal composite like this one on hand as a core part of their day to day restorative supplies.
