Clinical Overview
3M™ Filtek™ Supreme Flowable Restorative Syringe is a light-cured, low-viscosity nanocomposite designed for precise placement and excellent adaptation in restorative procedures. Built with TRUE nanotechnology, the material delivers excellent polish retention, wear resistance, and natural aesthetics. Its flowable consistency allows the composite to wet cavity surfaces effectively, making it ideal for minimally invasive restorations, liners, and detailed anatomic areas.
Key Benefits
- TRUE nanotechnology: Advanced nanoparticle fillers provide excellent polish retention and long-lasting wear resistance.
- Excellent adaptation: Flowable viscosity allows the material to adapt closely to cavity walls and internal surfaces.
- Precision syringe delivery: Designed to minimize bubbles and material run-on for controlled placement.
- Bendable cannula tip: Improves access to deep or hard-to-reach restorations.
- Natural aesthetics: Available in multiple shades that match commonly used restorative composites.
- Versatile clinical use: Suitable for a wide range of restorative techniques including injection molding and small restorations.
Kit Contents
- Flowable composite restorative syringe (commonly supplied as 2 g syringe refills)
- Disposable dispensing tips for precise placement
- Available in multiple VITA-compatible shades
Working & Setting Times
- Working time: Unlimited working time prior to light activation.
- Light cure: Approximately 20 seconds depending on curing light intensity and shade.
