3M: 3M Filtek Supreme Ultra Universal Restorative
The best way to decide which composite is best for the job at hand is to consider how well it handles and how easily it blends into surrounding tooth structure. Ultimately, the goal is to access the widest range of shades with the lowest wear and highest polish retention.
3M Filtek Supreme Ultra Universal Restorative offers an array of benefits, including 36 shades that match the VITA Classical Shade Guide, 4 different opacities—translucent, enamel, body, and dentin— and 8 body shades that cover the most common restoration needs.
Backed by TRUE Technology
One of the features that truly sets 3M Filtek products apart from the competition is 3M’s proprietary TRUE nanotechnology, which enables the restoration to polish easily and retain its natural gloss. The composite also offers outstanding strength and wear resistance—2 factors that ensure the best possible restoration results. Indicated for all restorative classes in both anterior and posterior restorations, 3M Filtek Supreme Ultra Universal Restorative is radiopaque with cure times from 10 to 20 seconds using a high-intensity LED curing light. 3M Filtek Supreme Ultra Universal Restorative capsules also can be warmed up to 70ºC/158ºF for up to 1 hour, lowering extrusion force without changing physical properties.

than 1 billion 3M Filtek dental restorations have been placed worldwide since it was first introduced. One of the reasons it’s become so popular is that dentists trust the outcomes. As patients increasingly demand the best possible esthetics, practices are looking for composites that not only deliver stunning visual results, but that are also reliable and easy to use.
Dr. John F. Weston is a longtime 3M product user. One of the reasons he’s stayed with the brand over the years is because they have a reputation for testing and refining products long before they end up in clinicians’ hands. “You can trust them, without exception,” said Dr. Weston.
