3M Filtek Bulk Fill Flowable Restorative

The 3M Filtek Bulk Fill Flowable Restorative is engineered for efficient dental restorations with enhanced strength, wear resistance, and radiopacity. It features a specialized formulation of fillers and monomers that minimizes shrinkage and polymerization stress, crucial for maintaining restoration integrity. Its low viscosity allows for easy adaptation in deep cavities, requiring minimal instrumentation for placement. Capable of curing up to 4mm in depth, it supports bulk fill procedures, optimizing workflow efficiency.

Directions for Use

1. Preparation: Ensure the tooth is clean and dry. Use a rubber dam if necessary to isolate the area. Apply retraction paste and clean the tooth surface thoroughly.
2. Etching: Apply a phosphoric acid etchant to the prepared cavity for 15-30 seconds. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry the tooth without desiccating it.
3. Bonding: Apply a bonding agent according to the instructions. Light-cure the bonding agent for the recommended time.
4. Warming (Optional): Warm the capsules up to 70°C for up to one hour if desired.
5. Dispensing: Attach the capsule to a dispensing gun.
6. Application: Dispense the flowable restorative material directly into the cavity. Use a dental instrument to ensure even distribution and fill the entire cavity space.
7. Layering: For deep cavities, apply the material in increments up to 4mm in depth.
