Clinical Overview
3M™ Filtek™ One Bulk Fill Restorative Capsules contain a light-cured bulk-fill nanocomposite designed to simplify restorative procedures while delivering high strength and natural aesthetics. The material incorporates advanced nanofiller technology and innovative stress-relieving monomers, allowing clinicians to place restorations in a single bulk layer and cure depths of up to approximately 5 mm. This capsule-based delivery system enables precise, hygienic placement directly into cavity preparations, helping improve efficiency in both anterior and posterior restorative treatments.
Key Benefits
- Bulk-fill efficiency: Allows placement in a single increment with depth of cure up to about 5 mm, reducing layering steps.
- Low shrinkage stress: Advanced monomers help reduce polymerization stress and improve restoration integrity.
- TRUE nanotechnology: Nanofiller system provides excellent wear resistance and long-lasting polish retention.
- Improved esthetics: Increased opacity after curing helps restorations blend with surrounding tooth structure.
- Excellent handling: Adaptable consistency allows easy sculpting and reliable cavity adaptation.
- Convenient capsule delivery: Unit-dose capsules support accurate dispensing and hygienic handling.
