The Filtek Supreme Ultra Universal Restorative System by 3M is a dental restorative material that has received positive feedback in comparison to its predecessor, the Filtek Supreme Plus restorative material. Some of the improvements in the Filtek Supreme Ultra system include an easier-to-use shading system, color-coding by opacity, new, easier-to-read labeling, and extended body shade range. The fillers in the system are a combination of non-agglomerated/non-aggregated 20 nm silica filler, non-agglomerated/non-aggregated 4 to 11 nm zirconia filler, and aggregated zirconia/silica cluster filler. The Dentin, Enamel, and Body (DEB) shades have an average cluster particle size of 0.6 to 10 microns, while the Translucent (T) shades have an average cluster particle size of 0.6 to 20 microns.
