Here’s what clinicians are saying about<br />

Herculite Ultra<br />

Filtek Z250<br />

90% of focus group attendees said they would purchase Herculite<br />

Ultra over their current composite.<br />

“Adapts really well, not sticky at all, really sculptable”.<br />

“Superb for a nanohybrid. Best composite ever”.<br />

Clinical Research<br />

Gloss Retention<br />

Over time, resin in a composite restoration wears off,<br />

exposing glass fillers and creating a rough surface.<br />

If the filler size is smaller than the average wavelength of light<br />

(as in the case of Herculite Ultra, Premise, and Point 4),<br />

light will be diffused uniformly and the surface will appear<br />

glossy, resulting in superior gloss retention over time despite<br />

resin wear.<br />
