“True” Nanotechnology

3M ESPE’s unique nanofiller technology gives your restorations the best of strength and esthetics.

• Our nanocomposite is built from individual and unique clusters of nanometer-sized particles which are chemically bound within the matrix
• The nanoclusters shear at a rate similar to the wear of the surrounding resin matrix during abrasion
• The result is a smoother surface for long-term polish retention.

Confidence that your anterior and posterior restorations will have a lasting, lifelike glossy appearance.

With competitive nanohybrids larger particles wear differently, impacting polish retention.

• Direct anterior and posterior restorations (Classes I, II, III, IV and V)
• Minimally Invasive Dentistry (MID)
• Sandwich technique with glass ionomer resin material
• Cusp buildup
• Core buildup
• Splinting
• Indirect anterior and posterior restorations including inlays, onlays and veneers

One composite can do it all.
There was a time when you needed a strong composite for posterior fillings, and a highly esthetic composite for anterior work. Now, ONE composite is strong and esthetic enough to do it all. Beautiful enough for anterior restorations and strong enough to withstand the rigors of chewing in posterior restorations.
