Filtek Silorane Low Shrink Posterior Restorative System The first composite to shrink less than 1 %

Filtek Silorane The first posterior composite to shrink less than 1% 1 Any time you restore a patient s tooth, you strive to achieve a perfect margin a smooth connection between the tooth structure and restoration without interruptions or gaps. Even if your technique is perfect, achieving lasting marginal integrity is a challenge because all composites shrink. Shrinkage is intrinsic to resin chemistry which is why, to date, no methacrylate-based composite has solved the shrinkage problem. Scientists at 3M ESPE changed the chemistry to deliver a solution. The Filtek Silorane Low Shrink Posterior Restorative is based on 3M ESPE s latest product innovation: silorane chemistry. This scientific breakthrough results in the lowest volumetric shrinkage to date. Excellent marginal integrity Strong and durable Easy to handle; nonsticky; excellent ability to hold shape Up to 9 minutes operatory light stability Low water sorption for substantially decreased exogenic staining Dedicated self-etch adhesive with excellent bond strength Available in 4 shades: A2, A3, B2, C2 (capsule or syringe) Radiopaque The new chemistry of the silorane-base composite requires the use of a dedicated self-etch adhesive. Why attaining an excellent margin is so important. To illustrate why this product-chemistry breakthrough is so important, we need to examine the clinical symptoms associated with volumetric shrinkage, polymerization stress and marginal gaps. Filtek Silorane, along with 3M ESPE Silorane System Adhesive Self-Etch Primer and Bond, work together to reduce the risk of clinical problems illustrated to the right. marginal staining debonding microleakage secondary caries enamel micro-cracks post-operative sensitivity

It s easy to use the Filtek Silorane Posterior Restorative System Here is a step-by-step guide on how to create a Filtek Silorane restoration. The procedure for using the low-shrinking Filtek Silorane composite and Silorane System Adhesive is much like the one you use with your current composite system. To achieve optimal strength of the Filtek Silorane system, it is important to light cure both the self-etch Primer and the Silorane System Adhesive Bond. A load-bearing posterior composite filling has to be replaced. Marginal loss and leakage have led to secondary caries. Select from four shades: A2, A3, B2, C2. A chameleon effect makes it easy to match composite shade to tooth enamel. Application of Silorane Self-Etch Primer. Agitate primer on cavity surface for 15 sec. Light cure for 10 sec after drying with oil-free air. Thixotropic properties allow for a precise application of Silorane Bond. Light cure for 10 sec after dispersing Silorane Bond to a homogeneous film with oil-free air. Very good initial adaptation of Filtek Silorane to bond film allows for an easy placement of the first increment. No need for a sophisticated layering technique due to intrinsically-low polymerization shrinkage and stress! The non-sticky handling and the excellent ability to hold shape allow you to build strong contact points and create a natural occlusal shape under full operatory light! Light cure for 20 sec (LED, intensity 1000-1500 mw/cm 2 ) or 40 sec (LED 500-1000 mw/cm 2 or halogen 500-1400 mw/cm 2 ). Depth-of-cure: 2.5mm. Surface free of inhibition layer allows for a fast and easy polish. A strong and durable Filtek Silorane filling restored the tooth to its natural function. Natural-looking esthetics were achieved with an easy single-shade technique. In any restoration, using proper technique is important. But ultimately, the clinical outcome depends equally on your choice of product. The new chemistry breakthrough of Filtek Silorane Posterior Restorative System makes it your best choice for durable posterior restorations and long-term patient satisfaction.

When a composite is closer to no shrink than low shrink it deserves to be called a breakthrough! Shrinkage comparisons of Filtek Silorane Low Shrink Restorative and methacrylate composites using bonded disc method. Source: University of Manchester Revolutionary ring-opening Silorane chemistry has resulted in the FIRST composite to shrink less than 1%! Silorane chemistry is the basis for a new composite category breakthrough: Filtek Silorane Low Shrink Posterior Restorative. The illustration (left) demonstrates how the new silorane-based composite works at the molecular level to reduce shrinkage dramatically, compared to methacrylate-based composites. As silorane-based composite polymerizes, ring-opening monomers connect by opening, flattening and EXTENDING toward each other. The result is significantly less volumetric shrinkage compared to methacrylate-based composites. Silorane Volumetric Shrinkage <1% 1 As methacrylate-based composites cure, the molecules of these linear monomers connect by actually SHIFTING closer together in a linear response. The result is a loss of volume. 1 <1% volumetric shrinkage tested by bonded disc method. Methacrylate Volumetric Shrinkage

Finally, everything you want in a posterior restorative. You ll like the way it handles. Excellent operatory light stability up to 9 minutes working time Impressive nonstick and nonslumping qualities Very good initial adaptation to bond film allows easy placement Fast and easy to polish Available in capsule or syringe Silorane Graph shows excellent ambient light stability of Filtek Silorane Low Shrink Posterior Restorative, giving dentists up to 9 minutes to place and shape the restoration under full operatory light illumination. [Method: ISO 4049]* *Source: 3M ESPE internal data You ll like the way it bonds. Filtek Silorane Low Shrink Posterior Restorative and the Silorane System Adhesive are formulated to work together to address problems associated with polymerization stress. You ll see great clinical outcomes with: Excellent marginal integrity Reduced risk of marginal gaps and microleakage Reduced risk of marginal staining Reduced risk of secondary caries Reduced cusp deflection Reduced risk of stress-induced enamel fracture Reduced risk of post-operative sensitivity Excellent marginal integrity Studies show the Filtek Silorane Restorative System provides better marginal integrity in mixed MOD restorations before and after chewing simulation as compared to leading methacrylate systems.
