3M Filtek Z250 XT Nano Hybrid Universal Restorative Kit 1470IK

Clinical Overview

3M Filtek™ Z250 XT Nano Hybrid Universal Restorative is a light-cured nanohybrid composite designed for predictable performance in both anterior and posterior restorations. Combining a broad particle size distribution with nano-sized fillers, it delivers high strength, excellent wear resistance, and reliable esthetics. The material offers a balanced handling profile—non-sticky, sculptable, and resistant to slumping—making it suitable for a wide range of everyday restorative procedures.
