Deliver beauty and strength to every restoration
3M’s range of dental composite fillings is designed to bring dentists critical benefits such as versatility, aesthetics, strength and clinical confidence to any restorative procedure – anterior or posterior.
Depending on your handling or technique preferences, you can choose from a range of micro hybrid or nano hybrid composite resins, or step-up to 3M’s TRUE nanotechnology found in Filtek Z350 XT and Filtek One ranges. The nanocomposites deliver great aesthetics with the control and predictability that you depend on in your procedures.
Explore the different categories below to learn more about the benefits.
Types of dental composites
Back in the day, micro hybrids and nano hybrids offered a significant improvement over older microfills. Since then, 3M has raised the bar with composite resins that offer 3M TRUE nanotechnology, which enables dentists to deliver clinically-proven, long-lasting oral health and natural looking aesthetics to patients.
-
Nanocomposites3M’s TRUE nanofiller technology offers strength and aesthetics as its nanoclusters maintain a uniform and smooth surface as they wear.
-
Nano hybrid compositesNano hybrids, like micro hybrids, have discrete large and small particles but they have a slightly lower average particle size. For universal use, but mostly on posterior teeth.
-
Micro hybrid compositesMicro hybrids utilise a blend of discrete large and small particles to increase the filler loading and provide strength and wear resistance. For universal use, but mostly on posterior teeth.

Excellent rating, clinically-proven performance
Since the initial launch of the 3M™ ESPE™ Filtek™ Z350 range more than 15 years ago, DENTAL ADVISOR has clinically placed and monitored over 3000 restorations. The performance of these restorations have been exceptional, regardless of size. Excellent aesthetics, low rate of fracture/chipping, minimal marginal discolouration and minimal wear have been instrumental in their long-term success rate, earning the 3M™ Filtek™ Z350 and 3M™ Filtek™ Z350 XT Universal Restorative a 15-year clinical performance rating of 96%.
