Wears like enamel
A recent 5-year clinical study verified what dentists who have been using Filtek™ Supreme 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™ Supreme Plus 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™ Supreme Plus 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.
