For many dentists, shade selection can be a time-consuming task, which, bearing in mind the standard shade systems (12+ shades) with multiple opacities, brings in a remarkable complexity that very frequently is unnecessary.
With dentists carrying fewer and fewer shades of their primary composites (4-6 shades in average*) and more and more single shade restorations, in Solventum we decided to develop a new composite that could give a proper response to this growing need. This is how we came up with 3M™ Filtek™ Easy Match, a three-shade universal restorative with body-like opacity which delivers a simplified workflow for single-shade restorations, and natural-looking results.
3M™ Filtek™ Easy Match not only will enable a quick and intuitive shade selection and simplified single shade restorations, it will also help streamlining inventories and reducing waste of infrequently used shades.
Just one main shade plus two complementary shades will deliver an excellent shade match for the majority of restorations and indications – posterior and anterior, including high-end esthetic restorations.
Its naturally-adaptive opacity delivers enamel-like translucency where you need it – at the bevel and incisal edge – and a dentin-like translucency everywhere else.
3M™ Filtek™ Easy Match is available for pre-order as per July 1st in most European countries and fully available to order from September 1st. Please contact your local Solventum representative for more information about this product and how to benefit from the pre-launch offer.
