3M™ Filtek™ Easy Match Universal Restorative

3M Filtek Easy Match Universal Restorative is a simplified shading system designed to streamline single-shade restorations from the start - all while providing the flexibility you need to find a match for most patients. The Natural shade matches the majority of cases; for the rest, select the complementary Bright and Warm shades. Anterior or posterior, you can work intuitively, without a blocker. Plus, you'll get the same performance, handling and esthetics you expect from 3M Filtek Dental Restoratives.

• Simplified shade selection for anterior and posterior single-shade restorations
• Just three shades (Bright, Natural and Warm) to match the classical VITA shade guide
• Naturally-adaptive opacity shows Enamel-like translucency, where you need it, on the bevel and incisal edge
• No blocker is needed to mask the darkness of the oral cavity in anterior restorations
• Excellent polish retention and shade match
• Firm handling
• Featuring the same nanotechnology behind our leading 3M Filtek Dental Restoratives

Shade selection is intuitive and straight forward:

Chroma, or colour intensity, is only one of the components leading to a great shade match. Even a composite of the “right colour” can stand out from surrounding dentition if its value (relative lightness/darkness) or opacity is not a good match as well.

Together, the 3 shades of 3M Filtek Easy Match Universal Restorative cover the VITA classical shades - no blocker needed.

“Filtek Easy Match Universal Restorative simplifies shade matching and allows very esthetic restorations in a more streamlined approach.” - Dr. Augusto Robles Anniston, AL, USA

3M Filtek Universal Restorative's 8 designer shades plus an Extra White (XW) cover the 19 VITA classical and bleach shades.
