When you’re busy caring for your patients, keeping up with the latest product innovations from dental manufacturers isn’t easy. To help keep you up to speed, we’ll share a quick overview of new items that are launching, so you can see if they’d be a good fit for your practice. Enjoy!
3M™ Filtek™ Easy Match Universal Restorative is the latest innovation in the 3M™ Filtek™ family of dental restoratives. Easy Match utilizes just three shades – Bright, Natural and Warm – to deliver an excellent match to almost any patient’s smile. It allows dental professionals to experience simple and intuitive shade matching with the high-level performance they expect from Filtek.
Filtek™ Easy Match considers two key factors for shade matching: Chroma and Value. Chroma is the color intensity of the restorative material and Value is the opacity of the restorative. Easy Match’s three shades use these factors to match to nearly every tooth surface.
- Bright: Low Chroma, High Value
- Natural: Mid-range Chroma and Value
- Warm: High Chroma, Low Value
This simple shade breakdown makes it quick and easy for dental professionals to select the shade they need for a given patient and create a natural-looking one shade restoration.
Additionally, Filtek™ Easy Match offers these benefits for a dental practice:
- Use for both anterior and posterior restorations
- Makes one-layer restorations easier with no blocker needed
- Reduces waste of infrequently used shades
- Easy placement thanks to firm handling
- Suitable for composite warming
Filtek™ Easy Match offers a simple system for single-layer, simplified shade selection restorations based on trusted Filtek™ technology.
