Beautifil II LS
Low shrinking pasty composite for anterior and posterior restorations
Beautifil II LS (Low Shrinkage) has been developed based on the proven Beautifil II; it guarantees dentists low shrinkage and maximum aesthetics. The most remarkable feature of this pasty universal composite is its unique polymerisation shrinkage of just 0.85 percent by volume. In addition, its polishability is excellent, and it optimally matches the shade of the natural tooth structure.
The material contains bioactive S-PRG fillers acting as a sustainable source and reservoir of fluoride at the same time; they durably release and recharge this trace element depending on its concentration in the mouth – for a restorative treatment characterised by long-term stability and caries prevention.
The use of Beautifil II LS in combination with the all-in-one adhesive BeautiBond, which is well-matched to the system, will further enhance the caries-preventive effect of the S-PRG filler technology.
Beautifil II LS features a well-balanced chameleon effect in both dentine and enamel, thanks to its natural light reflection. Furthermore, this light-cured universal composite can easily and quickly be polished to a long-lasting surface gloss.
