With the trend toward faster and easier procedures, dentists are using bulk fill flowable restoratives in the posterior region— where 70% of restorations occur. Despite the significant time-savings gained with bulk placement, dentists are still concerned about completeness of cure, shrinkage stress and strength.
You want a bulk fill flowable to adapt easily, eliminating the chance for voids and providing a good marginal seal. But if it’s too fluid, it can flow out of place before you can cure it. In a simulated operatory, dentists comparing the leading bulk fill flowables gave Filtek Bulk Fill Flowable Restorative excellent marks for the way it handles and adapts to the cavosurface— with little or no instrumentation.
Filtek™ Bulk Fill Flowable Restorative is replacing concerns … with confidence. It’s been developed by 3M ESPE, one of the most trusted innovators of restorative solutions, to address the challenges of bulk placement, from start to finish.

!FAST EASYMMPLACEMENTREDUCES steps and chair time. One way dentists manage shrinkage stress is by layering the composite in small increments— which is time-consuming and can increase risk of contamination. Filtek Bulk Fill Flowable Restorative offers a faster, easier solution. With less shrinkage stress than many traditional flowable and universal composites, it can be placed in one 4 mm increment.
Any restorative used in posterior teeth should be strong and wear resistant. Filtek Bulk Fill Flowable Restorative contributes to the overall restoration by offering these distinct advantages. sUp to 50% stronger than the leading bulk fill flowable1 sNearly twice the wear resistance of leading bulk fill flowables2 It’s the only bulk fill flowable strong enough to be called Filtek™.
