3M Filtek Universal Restorative Capsule Kit 6575-CK

Clinical Overview

3M Filtek™ Universal Restorative is a light-cured nanocomposite designed for durable, natural-looking restorations in both anterior and posterior regions. Engineered with TRUE nanotechnology and low-stress monomers, it offers excellent strength, polish retention, and reduced polymerization shrinkage. The capsule delivery system ensures consistent handling, precise placement, and efficient clinical workflow.

Key Benefits

• Simplified shade system: Universal opacity with a limited number of designer shades reduces inventory while covering most clinical cases.
• High esthetics: Natural fluorescence and shade blending deliver lifelike restorations.
• Superior durability: Nanofiller technology ensures long-lasting polish retention and wear resistance.
• Low shrinkage stress: Advanced monomer system minimizes marginal stress and enhances fracture resistance.
• Pink opaquer option: Effectively masks metal, stains, and discoloration for improved esthetic outcomes.
• Radiopaque material: Enables easy identification on radiographs during follow-up.
• Optimized handling: Capsule delivery with improved tip design supports precise placement and adaptation.

Kit Contents

• Pre-dosed composite capsules in multiple shades (e.g., A1, A2, A3, A3.5)
• Pink Opaquer capsules for masking dark substrates
• Application tips and accessories
• Instructions for use

Working & Setting Times

• Working: Extended working time under ambient light for controlled placement.
• Setting: Light-cured; polymerizes upon exposure to standard dental curing lights (incremental placement recommended).

Indications

• Direct anterior and posterior restorations (Class I–V)
• Core build-ups
• Splinting procedures
• Indirect restorations (inlays, onlays, veneers)
• Esthetic corrections and defect repairs

Instructions for Use

1. Prepare the cavity following standard adhesive dentistry protocols.
2. Apply bonding agent and light cure as indicated.
3. Insert capsule into dispenser and extrude composite directly into the cavity.
4. Adapt material in ≤2 mm increments to ensure optimal curing.
5. Light cure each increment according to curing light specifications.
6. Finish and polish to achieve optimal anatomy and surface gloss.
