Clinical Overview
3M™ Filtek™ Supreme Flowable Restorative Syringe is a light-cured, low-viscosity nanocomposite restorative designed for precise placement and excellent adaptation in a wide range of restorative procedures. Built with TRUE nanotechnology, the material offers strong wear resistance, long-lasting polish retention, and natural aesthetics. Its flowable consistency allows the composite to wet cavity surfaces easily and adapt to fine anatomical details, making it suitable for minimally invasive restorations, liners, and detailed restorative applications.
Key Benefits
- TRUE nanotechnology: Advanced nanoparticle fillers deliver excellent polish retention and long-term wear resistance.
- Excellent cavity adaptation: Flowable viscosity allows the material to adapt closely to cavity walls and internal surfaces.
- Precision syringe delivery: Upgraded syringe design helps minimize bubbles and improves placement control.
- Bendable cannula tip: Allows improved access to deeper or hard-to-reach preparations.
- Natural aesthetics: Available in multiple shades designed to match common restorative composites.
- Versatile clinical use: Suitable for a wide range of restorative techniques including injection molding and small restorations.
