/ Meet the Filtek™ Family
February 2, 2026
When clinicians are looking to create long-lasting restorations with a natural appearance, they need solutions that they can trust. Solventum helps dental professionals produce results that patients are proud to show off, with materials that balance aesthetics, versatility, simplicity and efficiency.
This is exemplified in the Filtek™ family, a range of leading resin composite solutions that provide unique benefits for many treatment needs.
Begin with simplicity, and the 3M™ Filtek™ Easy Match Universal Restorative. This unique solution is designed to streamline single-shade restorations at every step, with an adaptable approach for most patients’ treatment needs.
You can choose from just three shades, Natural, Bright and Warm. This selection doesn’t limit your options, as these match the entire classical VITA shade guide. Instead, they make shade selection straight-forward, and in many cases completely intuitive.
The 3M™ Filtek™ Easy Match Universal Restorative also features a naturally-adaptive opacity, which ensures professionals do not need a blocker for aesthetic anterior restorations. Instead, it takes on an enamel-like translucency on the bevel and on the incisal edge. At thicknesses greater than 2mm, it takes on a dentine-like appearance, enabling professionals to control their aesthetic outcomes with care.
For an alternative flowable solution that aids precise placement and optimal aesthetics, consider the 3M™ Filtek™ Supreme Flowable Restorative from Solventum. It is available in 12 shades to deliver a natural appearance for many patients, and features exceptional polish retention and wear resistance for long-term results.
The true magic of the 3M™ Filtek™ Supreme Flowable Restorative lies with the design of the syringe. A new tip with a tapered inner wall helps to match the tapered angle of the syringe, creating a smooth and continuous surface to ensure air pockets are pushed out by the flow front of the paste. A unique venting feature also allows air to escape during the manufacturing process, and with this all combined, professionals experience virtually no bubbles or “run-on”.
Larger restorations can be completed with confidence when you use the 3M™ Filtek™ One Bulk Fill Restorative from Solventum. Designed for posterior restorations, the material is formulated for improved structural stability and aesthetic results.
Smart Contrast Ratio Management technology ensures the material has an increased opacity without reducing the depth of cure, so restorations blend even more seamlessly with the natural dentition – choose from 5 shades for optimal results.
A fast and easy one-step, bulk fill composite placement is possible up to 5mm, with innovative monomers reducing shrinkage and shrinkage stress up to this depth of cure. This increases confidence in the longevity of a restoration, and reduces the need for retreatment.
These are just three of the stand-out members of the Filtek™ family, each designed to support your patient care.
