3 Introduction XT Within one year of introduction, 3M TM ESPE TM TM Universal Restorative became one of the leading universal restoratives in the world. The innovative product design and use of patented nanotechnology allowed 3M ESPE to tailor the filler particles to yield both the excellent aesthetic properties required for single and multi-layer anterior restorations while retaining the strength and wear characteristics needed for posterior restorations. Not content to rest with the success of restorative, our development team soon started working with clinicians to determine what improvements could be made next. The answer they gave us came in the form of a challenge improve the aesthetic results in restorations, such as Class IV restorations, where the restoration cannot afford to rely on the chameleon characteristics of restorative. We spent two years working with clinicians to optimize the shading and opacity of universal restorative, resulting in 3M TM ESPE TM TM XT Universal Restorative. With so much focus on the aesthetic possibilities of XT universal restorative, it is easy to forget the excellent physical properties of this composite. universal restorative has proven itself in both the clinical and laboratory setting. Within these pages you will see clinical documentation of efficacy in both anterior and posterior restorations. These studies are supported by in vitro tests from around the globe. universal restorative, and now XT universal restorative, represent our dedication to driving the potential of dental composites. 2

7 1. Aesthetics XT 1 Introduction 3M TM ESPE TM TM Universal Restorative is one of the most successful universal composites on the market. Clinicians appreciate the range of shades and opacities, excellent polish retention, and the universal indications of the nanocomposite. This combination of attributes has been made possible by nanotechnology. 3M TM ESPE TM TM XT Universal Restorative builds on this success by making excellent aesthetic results even easier to obtain. We spent the last two years working with clinicians in the United States and Europe to optimize the shading system of universal restorative. Both shade and opacity have been adjusted to bring the aesthetics of universal restorative to a new level. As a result, those familiar with universal restorative will find it easier to obtain their desired results; those new to the product will find it easier to transition from their previous composite. 6

Aesthetics XT 1 Dentist-Preferred Color Data compiled from field tests, comprehensive interviews and benchmark testing with existing products has been used to establish what we have defined as dentist-preferred color space. The color space for the A range shades and body opacity is illustrated below. This color space, illustrated in the form of a tube, represents the area within which dentists prefer the A range shades reside. Conclusion: As illustrated below, each of 3M ESPEʼs individual shades are located within the boundaries of the dentist-preferred color space, yielding two critical, clinically-documented benefits: With 3M TM ESPE TM TM XT Universal Restorative, aesthetic results are both better and easier to obtain. a* A1 L* A4 b* Dentist-defined color space 8

13 2. Technology XT Introduction 2 3M TM ESPE TM TM XT Universal Restorative begins as nanometer-sized particles; averaging 20 nanometers in size for most shades, and 75 nanometers in size for the translucent shades only. Using these small, spherical particles was excellent for polish, but did not yield the handling or physical properties expected of todayʼs composites. This led to the development of nanoclusters. This patented technology, used in XT universal restorative, enables the product to achieve excellent polish retention as well as the superior handling, strength and wear properties required for universal indications. High Polish We discovered that by partially fusing or sintering some of these nanometer-sized particles, we could add them in a form called nanoclusters. Under typical wear conditions, only very small, individual nanometer-sized particles can break off of the clusters, thereby retaining polish. This results in exceptional polish retention. In comparison, a hybrid is comprised of large, micron-sized particles that, when lost or broken off, significantly reduce initial polish. High Strength XT universal restorative has also proven to have the strength of a hybrid. Its high-filler loading and advanced resin matrix result in strength measurements (compressive, flexural and diametral strength and fracture toughness) that compare to the best products in the industry. XT universal restorative is truly a universal composite, with the aesthetics required for anterior restorations and the strength needed for posterior restorations. Nanoparticle Nanocluster 12

15 2. Technology XT Performance that Lasts 2 These scanning electron micrographs illustrate the difference between the wear of 3M TM ESPE TM TM XT Universal Restorative and the wear of a conventional microhybrid. The initial gloss of both products can be very impressive. With time and wear, however, individual particles of conventional hybrids are plucked from the resin matrix resulting in a reduction of gloss. The nanoclusters of XT universal restorative, however, are designed to fracture during wear conditions, rather than be plucked out. Thus, a smoother finish and higher gloss is retained.

Technology XT Hybrid composite after wear 2 TM after wear (translucent) The images above use a new technique called Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) which is ideal for measuring the surface finish of dental composites. The images above graphically illustrate the difference in finish between the microhybrid (top) and 3M TM ESPE TM TM Universal Restorative Translucent (below). Images like these prove the potential of nanotechnology to further improve dental composites. 15

Technology XT Composite Filler Characterization 2 The images below, provided courtesy of Dr. Jorge Perdigao, University of Minnesota, serve to illustrate the differences between 3M TM ESPE TM TM Universal Restorative and other hybrid composites. These images were generated using scanning electron microscopy, and all are shown at a magnification of 25,000k. The difference between the nanoclusters (and small nanometer-size particles) of universal restorative and the larger particles of the other products can be clearly seen. This difference in particle size is what allows universal restorative to retain a high percentage of initial polish, even after time in the oral environment. TM : Shade A2B TM : Shade YT 16

23 3. Clinical Results Introduction Clinical evaluation of a composite is the ultimate test of efficacy. No laboratory testing can duplicate the combination of occlusal forces, wear, thermal loading and staining challenge while maintaining the ever-increasing aesthetic expectations of both the clinician and the patient. 3 The next few pages summarize several clinical investigations into 3M TM ESPE TM TM Universal Restorative. To date, universal restorative has documented results in several controlled clinical studies, with data spanning 2 years. Furthermore, an independent handling evaluation has been conducted and documented. To date, the clinical results with universal restorative are tracking with the in vitro test results. Handling, wear, and aesthetic properties have been validated. Note: Since 3M TM ESPE TM TM XT Universal Restorative shares the same chemistry (varying only in shading and opacity), technical investigations into universal restorative are still valid. 22

Anstice, 3M ESPE AG, Loughborough, Leicestershire, United Kingdom, and R.J. Crisp, University of Birmingham, UK, Cheshire, United Kingdom Reference: BSDR 2004, Abstract O149 3 Aim of the Study: The clinical selection and use of a dental composite involves many variables besides the physical properties of the material. Characteristics such as handling and shading preferences are difficult to characterize. In this study a new nanocomposite was evaluated in a clinical setting by 12 practitioners. Results of the Study: After placing a total of 778 restorations, the response of the practitioners to the handling and aesthetics of 3M TM ESPE TM TM Universal Restorative proved very positive. A full 83% indicated their intentions to both purchase the material and recommend it to their colleagues. 26

28 3.2 Clinical Results: Case Studies A Nanotechnology Composite Author: N. Davis Reference: Compendium/Sept. 2003, Vol. 24, No.9, Synopsis: The author begins with a description of the technology of TM universal restorative, contrasting the filler composition to that of a conventional hybrid composite. He then proceeds to outline the restoration of a large Class IV restoration in a 12-year-old patient. A multi-layer technique was chosen, taking advantage of the wide range of opacities available with the restorative system. Dr. Davis concluded that Nanotechnology makes the creation of life-like restorations easy. 3 Rapid-Fire Posterior Resins. The Unwritten... Taking Advantage of Nanocomposite Technology Author: M.B. Goldstein Reference: Dentistry Today, 23(3):60 March 2004 Synopsis: The author presents an excellent illustration of a posterior restoration with detailed descriptions of all aspects of the restorative procedure. Composite handling is critical in this type of restoration, as the author states, First and foremost, the ability to freehand sculpt a restoration plays into the quadrant strategy that we will soon discuss. will remain exactly where you placed it last. It will not slump. Dr. Goldstein stated that a universal restoration can be brought to a near completion state with the hand instruments before final cure, dramatically reducing finishing time. Use of a rubber polishing instrument was found to bring the restoration to a near microfill finish. 27

31 4. Physical Properties Introduction Nanotechnology in Dentistry: Reduction to Practice was the title of one of the first publications outlining the opportunities for nanotechnology in dental composites. This paper, by Ure and Harris (Dental Update-Jan/Feb 2003) provided a very concise definition of nanotechnology, stating that it relates to the deliberate placement, manipulation and measurement of sub-100 nanometre scale matter. 3M TM ESPE TM TM XT Universal Restorative adheres to this definition. 4 This chapter presents a wide cross-section of in vitro test results with 3M TM ESPE TM TM Universal Restorative. These tests, conducted at sites around the globe, have documented the characteristics critical to a universal composite. Polish retention, critical especially for anterior restorations, has been documented in several papers contained in this booklet. Similarly, wear, a critical property for posterior restorations, has been investigated at numerous sites. Results of these investigations have been documented on the following pages. In vitro tests are most beneficial when there is a link to a predicted in vivo advantage. The tests reported on the following pages have clear links to the clinical situation and serve to validate the excellent clinical data obtained to date. 30

Holmes, 3M ESPE, St. Paul, MN Reference: JADA, Vol 134, October 2003, pg Synopsis: This paper details the chemistry and technology behind universal restorative. Technical advances in the composite are linked to clinically relevant performance in polish retention, fracture toughness, and flexural strength. The compressive and diametral strengths and the fracture resistance of the nanocomposite were found to be equal to or higher than those of the other composites. Wear was found to be lower than that of the other composites. Polish retention, critical for lasting aesthetic results, was superior to that of the conventional hybrids in the study. The authors conclude that The dental nanocomposite system studies showed high translucency, high polish and polish retention similar to those of microfills while maintaining physical properties and wear resistance equivalent to those of several hybrid composites. 4 31
