Using 3M™ Filtek™ Easy Match Universal Restorative, and 3M™ Scotchbond™ Universal Plus Adhesive.
Restoring non carious lesions is a topic for many debates.

Often, tooth shades in the cervical region tend to be richer in chroma. 3M™ Filtek™ Easy Match Universal Restorative offers a simple, intuitive solution for shade matching in these richly-colored areas as well.
