Despite multiple advances in dental material science (most of the current Composites on the market shrink about 2% to 5%), volumetric shrinkage and the resultant stress continue to challenge all clinicians. The unrelieved stress can weaken the bond between the tooth structure and the restoration, eventually producing a gap at the restoration margins. It can also lead to the formation of secondary caries and post-operative sensitivity, resulting in the debonding.
Indicated for all classes of restorations, I—V, BEAUTIFIL II LS (Low Shrink), has been formulated to minimize polymerization shrinkage and resultant shrinkage stress. With superior durability and aesthetics, combined with low polymerization shrinkage and shrinkage stress, BEAUTIFIL II LS, delivers predictable clinical efficacy and maximum performance characteristics. Credited for these outstanding results are a new proprietary monomer and highdensity pre-polymerized fillers which also exhibit tooth like optical properties and natural aesthetics.
• Low volumetric shrinkage (0.85%) and shrinkage stress (2.72 MPa)
• Great strength and high wear resistance
• Polishes in an instant
• Tooth-like aesthetics with natural fluorescence and chameleon effect
• Natural Light transmission and diffusion
• Sustainable fluoride release and recharge with bioactive Giomer Technology
BEAUTIFIL II LS incorporates a proprietary Giomer chemistry which facilitates release and recharge of fluoride, strontium and other beneficial ions providing the ability to inhibit plaque formation and establish a stable pH in the oral environment, decreasing the risk for secondary caries.
