How it Compares

Share

Three ways Filtek™ Supreme Ultra Universal Restorative surpasses other composites.

Thanks to its incomparable combination of excellent handling, polish retention and compatibility with a variety of shading techniques, the Filtek™ line of restorative materials has become the leading dental composite.

Yet with the introduction of new Filtek Supreme Ultra restorative – the next generation of composite material – comparisons are inevitable. So, how is it better?

Simplicity.

With its unique combination of strength and esthetics, Filtek Supreme Ultra restorative simplifies things in the dental office – it’s perfect for both anterior and posterior restoration, and a variety of techniques. We’ve simplified things for you in other ways, too:

  • Syringe and capsule bottles now color-coded by opacity, simplifying and speeding accurate shade selection
  • Labels use bold, easy-to-read type, helping ensure accurate shade selection
  • Expanded selection of Body shades and, based on dentist requests, added darker cervical shades

Versatility.

Filtek Supreme Ultra restorative is the one composite that really can do it all; you can use it with complete confidence anywhere in the mouth.

  • Wide range of shades and opacities
  • Supreme-like handling for ALL opacities
  • Translucent shades for creating lifelike incisal edges – now available in capsules
  • Single-shade and multi-shade flexibility
  • Beautiful enough for anterior use; strong enough for posterior applications

Nanotechnology.

Filtek Supreme Ultra restorative delivers results no other composite can, such as better initial polish, longer polish retention and outstanding strength. The key is our unique nanofiller technology:

  • Our nanocomposite is built up from clusters of nanometer-sized particles chemically bound within the resin matrix
  • These nanoclusters shear at a rate similar to the surrounding resin matrix during abrasion
  • The result: a smoother surface for long-term polish retention

Tooth Fairy says

"I've been a Filtek Supreme user for a lot of years - actually since they first released the initial product. So I was familiar with how it handled - I liked the way it handled. What was neat about Ultra when it came out is that it finally let me do restorations with fewer layers." -Dr. Weston
