Unique properties of Filtek filling material

Filtek Ultimate is a restorative photopolymerizable dental composite intended for the restoration of anterior and posterior teeth.

All shades are radiopaque.

The universal material Filtek Ultimate contains bis-GMA, UDMA, TEGDMA, PEGDMA and bis-EMA resins.

The fillers are a combination of non-agglomerated/non-aggregated 20 nm silicon filler, non-agglomerated/non-aggregated 4 – 11 nm zirconium filler and dispersed zirconium/silicon cluster filler (composition – 20 nm silicon particles and 4 – 11 nm zirconium particles).

For dentin, enamel and universal body shades, the average cluster particle size is 0.6 – 10 µm. For transparent shades, the average cluster particle size is 0.6 - 20 microns. The inorganic filler content is approximately 72.5% by weight (55.6% by volume) for clear shades and 78.5% by weight (63.3% by volume) for all other shades.

To bond the material to the tooth tissue, a dental adhesive is used, for example, adhesive from 3M ESPE. The restorative material is available in a wide range of dentin, enamel and universal body shades, as well as transparent shades. It is packaged in traditional syringes.

general information

Filtek is a composite material widely used for dental restoration. It was developed by specialists from the famous ZM ESPE corporation at the beginning of this century.

For the first time, specialists used the latest technologies - the introduction of nanoparticles, nanoclusters and their combinations into the composition of the composite. This ensured the material long-term strength and exceptional aesthetics.

A large number of shades of the composite are presented, and this makes it possible to use it on any part of the dentition. At the moment, Filtek is firmly established in the arsenal of modern dentists.

Release form and composition

The basis of the Filtek filling material is acrylic polymer resins of various types. Each type of composite has its own specific composition , depending on the purpose of application.

To impart color to a future filling, fillers are used in the form of silicon and zirconium nanoparticles, and their combinations - nanoclusters. The sizes of these particles range from 0.6 to 20 nm.

The color of the future filling depends on the filler included in the base material. More precisely, it depends on the size and quantitative ratio of nanoparticles and nanoclusters in it. The smaller their size, the denser and more matte the filling will be.

Composite mass of various compositions, placed in syringes, is included in the package of ready-made kits for work. Depending on the goals and objectives, there are several varieties.

Single Shade Set

A set of this type contains syringes with composite material in the amount of 2 pieces. The filling material has colors A2, A3, which have the classification “body” - universal.

The kit comes with instructions for use with technical specifications.

Dual Shade Kit

This kit contains a set of 4 syringes. Available shades - 2 syringes for dentin restoration - A3, A4; 2 syringes for enamel restoration – A2, A3.

Additionally, the set contains an auxiliary scale for selecting the desired color. The kit is supplied with technical instructions.

Professional set

The professional set contains 12 working shades of the material:

A2, A3, B3 – for restoration of dentin zones;
A1, A2, A3, W – for work on the enamel layer;
B2, A2, A3, A3.5 – universal “body” shades;
AT is a shade with a transparent effect.

As in the previous case, the kit contains an auxiliary color selection scale and instructions for use.

In addition to specially selected kits, separate syringes filled with composites of certain compositions are produced. The most common ones are Filtek Z250 and nanohybrid Z550.

Filtek Z250

Available in separate 4 g syringes. It is a microhybrid material and contains an increased amount of nanoparticles. It has particularly high strength and adheres well to the walls of the tooth.

The range of applications is very wide:

filling all types of cavities on the front and side teeth;
performing veneers;
splinting.

The color range of this type of composite includes 15 shades, which ensures its use in the restoration of any area of the dentition.

A filling made from Z 250 completely eliminates the possibility of recurrent caries.

Nanohybrid Z550

This series of composites is a modification of the Z250 series. It consists of nanoparticles and nanoclusters. Also available in syringes of 4 g.

Presented in 12 types of shades, each of them is radiopaque and fluorescent.

It is mainly used for reconstruction of the frontal and lateral parts of dental groups. It is simple and convenient to use; it does not stick to tools or gloves.

Allows you to perform any tooth modeling and subsequently retains the completed shape well.

Filtek Ultimate XT 'Filtek Ultimate' Dentin shades Ultimate Universal Restorative is a light-curing composite developed for use in the anterior and posterior regions. All shades are radiopaque. A dental adhesive, such as one from 3M ESPE, is used to permanently bond the restoration to the tooth structure. The material is available in a wide range of shades: Dentin, Body, Enamel, Translucent. The material is available in syringes. Indications for use Restorative material Filtek TM Ultimate is indicated for: • Direct restorations in the anterior and chewing regions (including occlusal surfaces) • Stump superstructures • Splinting • Indirect restorations (including inlays - onlays and veneers) Composition The resin is slightly modified compared to FiltekTM Z250 Universal Restorative and FiltekTMSupreme Universal Restorative. This resin contains BiS-GMA, UDMA, TEGDMA and BIS-EMA resins. To reduce shrinkage, part of the TEGDMA resin in FiltekTM Supreme XT was replaced with PEGDMA. The filler is a combination of free 20 nm silicon nanoparticles, 4 to 11 nm free zirconium particles, and silanized zirconium-silicon clusters (consisting of 20 nm silicon particles and 4-11 nm zirconium particles). In the shades Dentin, Enamel and Body, the cluster size ranges from 0.6 to 20 microns. By weight, filler is 72.5% (55.6% by volume) for Transluscent shades and 78.5% by weight (63.3% by volume) for other shades. 4 Shades The system consists of the shades of 4 opaques, shown here in order of decreasing opacity: Dentin (most opaque), Body Enamel and then Translucent (very transparent). The differences in opacity are shown in Figure 1. The transparency of the text under the 1 mm thick composite discs reflects the opacity. Translucent shades are very transparent, so we see the text unchanged at the transition border. Enamel shades have a transparency similar to that of enamel. The text seems a little blurry, but is still readable through the disc. The Body shades are more opaque and less transparent than the Enamel shades, allowing them to be used for single-color restorations. The text is still readable, but very vague. Dentin shades have the highest opacity. In multi-color restorations, Dentin shades are used to replace the more opaque dentin structure, after the Dentin shade underlays, the passage of light through the restoration is blocked. The shade system is based on the classic VITA scale with the following exceptions: For whitened teeth: White Dentin, Body, Enamel (WD, WB, WE) Extra White Body, Enamel (XWB, XWE) For cervical restorations: A6B and B5B Transparent shades: Clear, Blue, Gray, Amber. The coloring has been modified compared to Filtek tm Supreme XT Universal Restorative. The differences in color are a reduction in the number of Dentin shades (A6D, C6D,XWD are removed). The diagram shows the color coding used in FiltekTM Ultimate. The darker the color code, the more opaque the composite has. The number of Body shades has been increased by the addition of A6B and B5B for cervical restorations and D3B. XWE enamel shade has also been added. Additionally, the transparent shades Violet and Yellow were replaced with Blue and Amber. 5 Fluorescence and Opalescence Fluorescence and opalescence are also aesthetic properties of a natural tooth. It is believed that these two properties are responsible for the play of color and “liveness” of tooth tissue. In natural teeth, dentin (especially hydroxyapatite and organic matrix minerals) exhibits higher fluorescence than enamel. Fluorescence occurs when light energy is absorbed and emitted at a longer wavelength. In teeth, this means absorption of light in the UV spectrum (350-365 nm) and emission of light in the visible spectrum (about 400 nm). As seen in Figures 2 and 3, the teeth fluoresce white and blue. Note that some materials fluoresce more than natural teeth, while others, such as Filtek™ Ultimate Universal Restorative, fluoresce at the same level and in a similar color. Opalescence, on the other hand, refers to the way a material scatters shorter wavelengths. This is demonstrated by a blue glow when light is reflected and an orange-brown glow when it is carried out. Natural enamel has an opalescent effect. By modifying the nanoclusters used, Filtek™ Ultimate transparent shades provide a level of opalescence equal to that of natural teeth (based on literature data on the level of opalescence of natural teeth). Color Basics Color Shade is the actual color of the material. The scale below shows shades from blue to yellow. VITA scale shades A shades Red-brown B shades Red-yellow C shades Gray D shades Red-gray Color saturation is its intensity. The larger the numerical designation (for example, A3 compared to A1) in a group of shades, the more intense the color (A3 is more intense than A1). Combination of light/dark tones. Higher (lighter) for shades A and B. Shades C and D are grayer than A and B. Generally speaking, shades C are less saturated than shades A. Research has shown that tooth color in adult teeth is determined by mainly a shade of dentin. The enamel layer plays a much smaller role in the actual color of the tooth. • Younger people have brighter, less translucent teeth. With age, the enamel layer thins, exposing more dentin, so the teeth appear darker, especially in the cervical third. • The cervical areas will be more saturated in shade due to the thinner enamel layer, which makes dentin more visible. • The Body area is a combination of dentin color, with a slight overlap of the enamel layer and surface morphology features. According to the literature, the color intensity in the middle third of the crown (Body) is 1-2 colors brighter than in the cervical area. • The incisal edge region has a greater degree of translucency as the amount of dentin present decreases as it approaches the incisal edge. Opacity Considerations When light contacts a tooth: • The enamel scatters and conducts the light. If the dentinal layer is very thin, or if there is no dentin layer under the enamel layer (such as in the incisal area), some light passes through the tooth into the oral cavity. The oral cavity can reflect light back through the enamel. • When light reaches dentin, some of it is absorbed and some is reflected and passed back through the enamel. • The light that is reflected and refracted forms the color of the tooth • The texture of the tooth surface plays a role in the perception of color - a smoother surface will appear whiter (lighter) than an uneven one. Key Opinion Leaders 18 key dentists were invited to share their views on recommended working and treatment techniques, educational methods, strength and friability of existing composites, and available color options. Key thoughts on this: • It is very important to come to an agreement with the patient regarding the level of his aesthetic wishes • Color selection scales are used at the initial stage of color determination, then it is better to use in-vivo mock-up techniques to more accurately determine which composite color is best suits the surrounding tooth tissues. • The acceptability of the final result of the restoration depends on the following factors: the correct selection of color, its depth and the combination of the selected color with natural tooth tissues (achieved, for example, by applying a transparent shade to a less transparent one, or building the incisal edge with a transparent shade), surface polishing and the morphology of the tooth surface and doctor and patient preferences. Recommendations for choosing the color of Filtek Ultimate Universal Restorative material 1. After cleaning the tooth surface (carrying out professional hygiene), determine which colors you will need. Do this before preparing the tooth or installing a rubber dam. An overdried tooth will be brighter than a normal one. Thus, the color chosen on a dry tooth will be brighter than the normal shade after rehydration. 2. When choosing a color, • If you plan to use one shade, select the Body shade, focusing on the middle third of the crown of the tooth. Select the color as accurately as possible, also focusing on the middle third of the tooth on the VITA scale. • If you plan to use more than one shade to accurately represent the tooth structure and obtain the best vitality of the restoration, use the shade wheel (described below) to determine which opaques to use. To decide on the choice of shade in a given opacity, you must:

— Select the Dentin (or Body) shade, focusing on the cervical area of the tooth. Select the color of the composite that is more suitable to the color of the cervical part of the tooth from the VITA coloring - Select the Body shade, focusing on the middle third of the tooth crown, also focusing on the middle part of the tooth from the VITA coloring - Select the Enamel shade, focusing on the incisal edge of the front tooth, or the tops of the lateral cusps teeth. Select a composite shade that more closely matches the central part of the tooth on the VITA scale - A transparent shade (in the same light range) can be used to increase transparency and increase the “depth effect” of the restoration. 3. Mock up the restoration before etching. The color of the composite can be affected by the thickness of its layer. Composites may change color after exposure. Place and illuminate the composite of the intended thickness over the area of the planned restoration. Obtain patient consent for the chosen color. Remove the mock-up using a probe. 7 4. Evaluate the color match of the scale and mock-up in different lighting conditions. 5. When grinding and polishing the restoration, imitate the surface morphology of natural teeth. Color Selector Wheel To assist in the color selection process, 3M ESPE Filtek Ultimate Universal Restorative features a unique, patented color selector wheel. Once you have decided on the main shade on the VITA scale, the selector scale offers you recommendations for restoration using one shade, two shades, or a multi-color technique. • Select a shade according to the VITA scale: determine the shade that most closely matches the color of the middle third of the tooth crown. • Select the side of the selector wheel you need, according to the type of restoration you intend to perform. • Turn the wheel until the shade you selected appears in the inner circle. • Follow the Filtek Ultimate chart for one-color, two-color, and multi-color techniques. It should be noted that this tool is only a guide. The final result will be influenced by the thickness of the composite layers, surrounding tooth tissue, neighboring teeth, etc. Next, layering diagrams displayed on the scale offer potential solutions to achieve a specific aesthetic result. For example, Translucent can be applied internally, as shown to create translucency in the incisal third of a Class IV restoration. As an alternative not shown in the diagram, Transluscent can be applied superficially on the labial or occlusal surfaces to create depth in the restoration. If you use a transparent shade in this way, the color of the restoration may become darker; to avoid this, you can apply a shade one step lighter than the one chosen exactly under the intended layer of Transluscent shade.

Preparatory activities

Working with the proposed composites requires certain preparatory work.

The first step is standard brushing of teeth using normal hygiene products. Then the dentist performs a complete sanitation of the oral cavity. It includes treatment, inflammation removal and professional cleaning.

The final stage of preparation is the correct selection of the shade of the proposed filling. It is executed in the following order:

Dividing the tooth into segments. The body of the tooth has some heterogeneity in color tone in different areas.
To reconstruct it correctly, the entire area is divided into 3 segments. Each of them is filled with a composite that matches the color for the given area.
The area near the neck of the tooth is restored with yellow material. For the middle, composites of gray, yellow or brown color are used. The upper (incisal) border is made in grayish or blue shades.
Selection of shade. The color and its saturation of each of these areas is checked using an auxiliary color scale, corresponding to that part of it that is identical to the thickness and color of the desired area of the tooth.
Checking the correct selection. To control the correct choice of shade, the composite is applied to the desired location.
After its polymerization, a visual assessment is made using different types of light. If necessary, adjustments are made until the desired effect is achieved.
Isolation and protection of the treated area from other teeth is carried out using a latex napkin (rubber dam). If it is not available, then the use of cotton swabs or a saliva ejector is used.

This concludes the preparatory work before the restoration of damaged surfaces begins. It must go through the full cycle, regardless of which method of tooth reconstruction is chosen.

Filtek Ultimate - instructions for use

Preparation

Cleaning : To remove plaque, teeth must be cleaned with a water-pumice suspension.
Shade selection : Before isolating the tooth, using the standard VITAPAN Classic shade scale, select the appropriate shade(s) of the Filtek Ultimate restoration material. The correct choice of shade can be ensured if you follow the recommendations below. 2.1 Shade: Teeth are not uniform in color. The tooth can be divided into three areas, each of which will have its own characteristic color. a) Subgingival area: Restorations in the subgingival area are made from material of a yellow shade of varying intensity. b) Middle part of the tooth: Restorations in the middle part of the tooth are made of material of grey, yellow or brown shades of varying degrees of intensity. c) Incisal region: The incisal edge may have blue or gray tints. It is also necessary to ensure harmony of this translucent area with the middle translucent part of the tooth being restored and the neighboring teeth. 2.2 Restoration depth: The color intensity of the restoration material depends on its thickness. Suitable shades should be selected according to the shade scale from that part of the hint scale that coincides in thickness with the thickness of the proposed restoration. 2.3 Test: Apply the selected shade of restorative material to an unetched tooth. Model the material in such a way as to create a model of approximately the same thickness and area as the restoration. Polymerize. Evaluate the consistency of the shade when illuminated by different light sources. Remove the restorative material from the unetched tooth using an excavator. Repeat this procedure until you achieve an acceptable shade match.
Insulation : The preferred method of insulation is a rubber dam. You can also use cotton swabs and a saliva ejector.

Direct restorations

Cavity preparation: 1.1 Filling the anterior teeth: prepare the tooth in the usual way as for any class III, IV and V restoration. 1.2 Filling the posterior teeth: prepare the tooth. The corners formed during preparation should be rounded. Remnants of amalgam or lining material must not be allowed to remain inside the prepared cavity; this will interfere with the passage of light and, accordingly, the hardening of the restoration material.
Pulp Protection: If pulp exposure has occurred and if the situation requires direct dental pulp protection, a minimal amount of calcium hydroxide should be used at the exposure site followed by a light-curing glass ionomer liner, Vitrebond or Vitrebond Plus from 3M ESPE. Vitrebond liner material can also be used to line deep areas of a cavity.
Installation of the matrix: 3.1 Filling of the anterior teeth: Plastic strips or crown molds can be used to save the material used. 3.2 Filling posterior teeth: Place thin soft metal or a plastic or metal precontoured matrix of the desired shape and secure the wedges tightly. Polish the matrix strip to reveal the proximal contour and contact area. Shape the strip so that it covers the gingival area to prevent overhanging edges. Note: If desired, the matrix can be installed after etching the enamel and applying the adhesive.
Adhesive System: Follow manufacturer's instructions for etching, pre-treatment, adhesive application and curing, such as 3M ESPE (Single Bond 2) adhesives.
Dispensing of composite material: Extract the required amount of Filtek Ultimate restorative material onto the mixing pad by slowly turning the syringe handle clockwise. To prevent material from flowing out after the required amount has been withdrawn, turn the syringe handle half a turn counterclockwise and the flow will stop. Immediately close the syringe with the cap. If the extracted material is not used immediately, it must be protected from light.
Application: 6.1 Apply Filtek Ultimate restorative material in layers and light cure as indicated in section 7. 6.2 The cavity should be slightly overfilled so that the composite overlaps the edges of the cavity. Shape the restoration with a suitable tool designed for working with composite materials. 6.3 Avoid intense light entering the work area. 6.4 Recommendations for filling the posterior group of teeth: a) To improve the modeling, the first layer 1 mm thick can be added and modeled to the proximal part. b) A plugger (or similar device) can be used to model the material to all sides of the internal cavity.
Polymerization: Polymerization of Filtek Ultimate is provided under the influence of light from a halogen or LED lamp with a minimum intensity of 400 mW/cm² in the range of 400-500 nm. Cure each layer of material by illuminating its entire surface with high intensity light from a source such as the 3M ESPE Light Curer. During irradiation, keep the light guide as close to the material to be cured as possible.
Shaping: Contour the surfaces of the filling by grinding with diamond or carbide finishes, burs or stones. Shape proximal surfaces using Sof-Lex sanding strips made for 3M ESPE materials.
Correction of occlusion: Check occlusion with articulation paper. Check the center and side contacts while driving. Carefully adjust the occlusion, removing excess material with a fine-grit diamond bur or stone.
Sanding and Polishing: Polish using the Sof-Lex Sanding and Polishing System.

Indirect restorations (inlays, onlays or veneers)

Medical step 1.1 Shade selection: Before insulation, select the appropriate shade(s) of the universal Filtek Ultimate restorative material. If the restoration has sufficient depth, it is recommended to use a dentin shade. The use of a transparent shade on the occlusal surface will help achieve an aesthetically pleasing restoration. 1.2 Preparation: Prepare the tooth. 1.3 Taking an impression: After completing the preparation, take an impression of the prepared tooth following the manufacturer's instructions for the selected impression material.
Laboratory step 2.1 Fill the prepared impression with plaster. If the impression is obtained using the one-step “triple tray” method, then pins must be installed in the prepared area at this time. 2.2 Separate the model from the impression after 45-60 minutes. Place the pins in the model and position it as you would for a standard crown or bridge installation. Place the model with the model of the opposite jaw in a suitable articulator. 2.3 If the second impression is not obtained, cast a second model using the same impression. This model should be used as a working model. 2.4 Cut the model of the prepared tooth with a laboratory saw and remove excess or open the edges so that they can be easily processed. If necessary, mark the edges with a red pencil. If required, coat with insulating varnish at this point. 2.5 Saturate the die with water, then use a brush to apply a very thin layer of separator to the prepared tooth model, dry it somehow, and then apply another thin layer. 2.6 Apply the first portion of Filtek Ultimate to the bottom of the prepared tooth model, staying close to the edges, and then cure as recommended in the Direct Restoration section (Step 7). 2.7 Apply and polymerize the following portions of the Filtek Ultimate composite. Apply the last portion (incisal), capturing the contact areas. 2.8 Place the die back into the articulation arch. Add the final portion of composite to the occlusal surface. Provide slight overfill on the mesial, distal and occlusal sides. This will ensure the creation of mesiodistal contacts and proper occlusal contact when closing the opposite jaw with an uncured layer of translucent material. Cure with light for ten seconds only and then remove the model to prevent adjoining surfaces from sticking together. Complete the curing process, following the processing times specified in the Direct Restoration section (Step 7). 2.9 Once the occlusal contacts have been created, begin removing excess composite around the contact areas. Shape the cusps and ridges in accordance with the anatomy of the remaining occlusal surfaces. 2.10 Care must be taken when removing the prosthesis from the model. Break off small fragments of the model around the restoration; The plaster must be carefully removed from the cured restoration until the restoration is completely exposed. 2.11 Using the original model, check the design for shine, undercuts and fit. Adjust as necessary and then polish as described above in steps 8-10 of the direct restoration section.
Clinical step 3.1 Roughen the inner surface of the denture. 3.2 Clean the denture with soapy water in an ultrasonic bath and rinse thoroughly. 3.3 Cementing: Cement the structure using a 3M ESPE Composite Cement System in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Restoration methods

After all the preparatory work has been completed, a method for restoring lost teeth or dental surfaces is selected. Two main methods are used .

Direct recovery

In this case, restoration is carried out in the following order:

The required cavity is processed.
A pad with medicine is placed inside (if necessary).
A matrix is inserted to ensure interaction between adjacent teeth.
Dentin and enamel are etched.
The adhesive is applied and time is given for its polymerization.
The required amount of composite is placed in a block protected from light. The syringe with the remaining material should be immediately closed with a cap.
The composite is applied in layers similar to tiles into the finished hole.
Each layer should be illuminated in turn with a lamp containing halogen or LEDs.
The filling is given the required contours using burs and finishers.
It is necessary to ensure contact between the teeth - the filling is adjusted if it is insufficient. In this case, articulating paper is used.
Final grinding and polishing of the restored area is carried out.

Indirect technique

Obviously, this method is much more labor-intensive. But in some cases there is no choice, and restoration of a lost tooth is only possible using the indirect restoration method.

This method includes the preparatory stage described above and the following operations:

The doctor selects the type of structure and performs a complete treatment of the tooth.
An impression is taken from the processed unit.
In the laboratory, plaster models are made from a cast.
The finished model is covered with a separating layer.
The composite is applied to the tooth in layers, each layer is processed with a special light lamp.
Formation of the desired contours and polymerization.
The structure is adjusted, finished and polished, followed by testing on a tooth model.
The doctor checks the stability of the structure in the treated cavity. If defects are found, they are eliminated at the place of manufacture.
A rough texture is created on the internal surfaces.
The prosthesis is treated with a soap solution by placing it in a bath with ultrasound. After this, it is thoroughly washed with water and dried.
The finished product is fixed in the desired place with special cement.

Recommendations and warnings

Working with Filtek composite paste requires compliance with certain precautions.

Acrylic resins (especially uncured ones) included in its composition can cause an allergic reaction if it comes into contact with the skin or mucous membranes.

There are rules that, if followed, will help avoid unpleasant moments:

When working with composites, it is necessary to use non-contact techniques and protective gloves.
If contact of the material with the skin does occur, the area should be thoroughly washed with running water and soap.
If the composite gets on gloves, they should be thrown away and your hands should be sanitized. For further work, use a new set of gloves.
Syringes should be stored in tightly closed boxes, away from light (to preserve the properties of the material). Syringes are stored at room temperature.
Contact time with the material should be reduced to a minimum.

Caution when using the Filtek composite should be exercised not only by staff, but also by patients.

You need to make sure in advance that you are not allergic to this material, and if you have one, notify your doctor.
