3M Filtek Universal Restorative Syringe 4g Shade A3.5 6570A3.5

Clinical Overview

3M™ Filtek™ Universal Restorative Syringe (4 g) is a light-cured universal nanocomposite restorative designed for efficient, aesthetic restorations in both anterior and posterior teeth. The material incorporates advanced nanofiller technology and low-stress monomers to provide strong, durable restorations while maintaining natural-looking aesthetics. Its simplified shade system and universal opacity help streamline shade selection while allowing restorations to blend naturally with surrounding dentition.

Key Benefits

• NaturalMatch shade technology: Simplified shade system with universal opacity helps restorations blend naturally with surrounding teeth.
• Advanced nanofiller technology: TRUE nanotechnology provides excellent polish retention and wear resistance.
• Low-stress monomer system: Helps reduce polymerization shrinkage and improves fracture resistance.
• High radiopacity: Allows clear identification of restorations during radiographic evaluation.
• Fluorescent pigments: Provide lifelike appearance and improved aesthetics.
• Versatile universal composite: Suitable for a wide range of direct and indirect restorative procedures.
