Science Ordering Information

3M ESPE Filtek™ Z350 Universal Restorative is a universal composite, utilizing 3M's unique nanofiller technology, that combines the strength of a hybrid with the beauty of a microfill. This material combines strength and esthetics in one easy to use product. Combined with your expertise, this restorative will enable you to provide high-quality restorations and a greater level of patient appreciation.

Filtek Z350 Universal Restorative offers:

  • Low polymerization shrinkage - less stress on the tooth and less sensitivity potential for your patients.
  • Wear resistance - High wear resistance allows for longer-lasting results.
  • Adaptation - Suitable for anterior and posterior restorations, core-build-ups, splinting and indirect restorations, including inlays, onlays and veneers.
  • Exceptional flow with ideal slump resistanc.e

Wears like enamel

A recent 5-year clinical study verified what dentists who have been using Filtek™ Z350 Universal Restorative already know:
that it wears like enamel. You can be confident your restorations will perform the way you—and your patients—expect, in both anterior and posterior indications.

Holds its polish like a microfill.

The initial gloss of most restoratives can be very impressive. With time and wear, however, larger particles of conventional hybrids are plucked from the resin matrix resulting in a reduction of gloss. In contrast, the unique nanoclusters of Filtek™ Z350 Universal Restorative are designed to shear with the resin matrix during wear conditions, rather than be plucked out. Thanks to 3M ESPE’s "true" nanotechnology, a smoother finish and higher gloss is retained.

Achieve beautiful results with any technique—simple or complex.
While 35 shades may sound complicated, the opposite holds true. Dentists have long appreciated the wide selection because it’s easier to more accurately match natural tooth color and achieve the results they want—whether using a single-shade technique or multi-shade layering technique. Plus, the shades have a remarkable chameleon effect which helps restorations blend easily with surrounding tooth structure, adding to the impressive esthetic results. Your Filtek Supreme Plus restorations can be virtually undetectable.

3M ESPE’S “true” nanotechnology
3M ESPE builds its nanocomposite using a patented process that creates unique groups, or clusters, of nanometer-sized particles. With Filtek™ Z350 Universal Restorative, the nanoclusters shear at a rate similar to the wear of the surrounding matrix during abrasion. This allows the restoration to maintain a smoother surface for long-term polish retention.

In contrast, hybrids and microhybrids lose larger particles to abrasive forces over time. The average particle size of fillers is typically between 0.4 and 0.6 microns. And as these materials are abraded, the loss of filler particles results in the formation of pits or voids, leaving a roughened, less-polished surface.
