The universal solution
Featured Products Promotional FeaturesPosted by: Dental Design 15th October 2022
Restorative procedures can fast become complex, especially if you consider the number of adhesives, cements, composites and other materials you often need to utilise to create a gold-standard result.
But what if there were a way to still achieve these results with fewer products, saving you time and money while streamlining your armamentarium?
3M Oral Care has developed a trio of products that together can be used across the vast array of restorative treatments.
So, what are these three solutions and how can they help you?
3M Filtek Universal Restorative
As a dentist offering restorative work, it’s inevitable that you have to stock a variety of shades. But did you know that most dentists use a single shade for 80% of restorations?* As such, 3M Oral Care created Filtek Universal Restorative to cover the entire VITA spectrum with just 8 designer shades and an Extra White shade for bleached dentition.* This way, professionals can easily streamline their product selection while still achieving exceptional aesthetics across all indications.
Filtek Universal Restorative from 3M is also available in a Pink Opaquer shade. This has been developed to mask metals and stained dentition, making aesthetic restorations easier than ever before.*
Offering better polish retention than other universal composites on the market,* Filtek Universal Restorative from 3M offers professionals a simple and repeatable procedure for all restorative work.* It also provided a level of opacity that met the needs of 98% of dentists when tested.*
Filtek Universal Restorative from 3M has also been recognised as a Top Product in the 2022 Dental Advisor awards. It earned a clinical rating of 96% and was singled out by judges for its great aesthetics.***
3M Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive
When it comes to selecting a dental adhesive, you need to feel confident that you have a solution on hand that offers strength, reliability and ease of use. Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive from 3M is the first radiopaque universal adhesive on the market, helping to prevent any future misdiagnosis.** Additionally, the adhesive is versatile to your needs and can be used in all direct and indirect bonding procedures and etching techniques.**
Furthermore, it provides gold standard adhesion to all tooth and restoration substrates, all without the need for any additional primers, silanes or activators.** As such, you can replace a number of products in your armamentarium with just a single solution. Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive from 3M has also received a Top Product status in the 2022 Dental Advisor awards, with judges applauding the lack of post-operative sensitivity, excellent handling and newly redesigned bottle.***
3M RelyX Universal Resin Cement
As an essential part of your product selection, your cement needs to offer both versatility and predictability. Luckily, RelyX Universal Resin Cement from 3M offers this and more.
Providing outstanding self-adhesive bond strength, the cement reliably solves cases without any need for excess adhesive or primer. It can be coupled with Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive from 3M for unbeatable bonding, and successfully helps to streamline restorative cases through ease of use.****
With its ergonomic, game-changing automix syringe, RelyX Universal Resin Cement from 3M offers easy dispensing, cleaning and storage. In fact, the design specifically helps to cut cement waste by 80%, while the syringe design ensures you can cut plastic waste by 50% without reducing the number of doses.****
It’s little surprise that 3M RelyX Universal Resin Cement was also recognised in the 2022 Dental Advisor awards, netting an excellent 99% clinical rating.***
