Filtek Z250 Universal Restorative Composite – 4g Syringe (3M)
Filtek Z250 is a light-cured, radiopaque universal composite for anterior and posterior restorations. It is known for outstanding resistance to slumping, which allows easy occlusal contouring before curing, and for ideal flow and viscosity that suit all types of restoration. Its low polymerisation shrinkage means less stress on the tooth, and it polishes to a smooth, natural-looking finish. Each syringe contains 4g of composite; choose your shade from the options on this page.
Long expiry date. Manufactured by 3M in the USA (3M's dental business now trades as Solventum). Great, low price for the most popular shades of one of the most popular composites.
