3M ESPE Innovative Strength and Clinical Experience Clinically proven through long-term experience. A proven track record and clinical competence can only be gained throughout time. It is only when products and product systems have been used for years in clinical practice, that we claim this competence. 3M ESPE awarded product excellence reviews Filtek Z250 was granted the highest award by the Dental Advisor (Vol. 21, No.4, May 2004) for very good mechanical properties, excellent aesthetics and satisfaction by dentist and patient. The study included 185 posterior restorations. Gloss and shade adaptation of the restorations are excellent, even after five years in clinical service. The clinical six-year comparative study by Busato et al. (2001) proved the high reliability of Z100. The team of scientists compared composite materials used in posterior indications. The six assessment levels ranged from the best rating anatomical form without visible alteration to restoration had to be replaced. All Z100 fillings were functional. A superior result: more than 60% of the Z100 fillings showed no significant alteration of anatomical form, even after six years.

3M ESPE Strong in Research and Development From the product to the process technology From adhesives to composites from light curing units to polishing products. We develop new benchmarks at every level of the process chain. Milestones in research and development Innovative technologies. First-class dental care. The pinnacle of patient satisfaction. Our research and development competence is not merely based on product innovations but also on process innovations. This is why we research pioneering technologies such as the incorporation of nanofillers in composites. The effect: the filling material Filtek Supreme features very good sculpturability, fascinating polishability and a high level of abrasion stability. Technology transfer to other product areas Features that prove their benefit in one product are, in the ideal cases, also used across the entire product range. 3M ESPE succeeded in transferring the success of nanotechnology in the composite area to the product area of adhesives. Adper Scotchbond 1 XT a total-etch adhesive featuring nanofillers achieves a high bond strength performance to enamel and dentin, both in direct and indirect filling therapy, without even having to shake the adhesive prior to application. Our competence in research and development is the sum of creativity, strength and clinical experience. Individual Nano-Particles used in Filtek Supreme 3M ESPE, excellent quality optimum handling With our claim of improving product quality, we are also pursuing the goal of optimising the delivery of every product in line with daily practice requirements.
