Efficient posterior treatment with x-tra fil

Now available in a bulk package of 10

VOCO developed x-tra fil, a hybrid composite, especially for quick and effective use in the posterior area. The light-curing restorative permits tooth-shaded, load-bearing, cavity class I and II restorations. x-tra fil is thus a high quality, durable and cost-effective alternative to amalgam restorations. Due to its time-saving processing, x-tra fil is particularly well-suited for patients with limited compliance. In addition to posterior restorations, x-tra fil is also well-suited for economical core build-up. This composite is available in a universal shade and both in handy syringes and convenient Caps for direct application. x-tra fil is now available in the especially economical, bulk package (10 x 5 gram syringe).

Excellent material properties and optimal handling 

Outstanding physical properties and unproblematic handling is what makes x-tra fil, with its minimum time requirement and equally high safety, an efficient standard treatment in the posterior area. x-tra fil's excellent material properties were achieved with a combination of a new multi-hybrid filler technology and an innovative initiator system for photo-polymerisation. This is how increments of up to 4 mm in thickness can be safely cured with only 10 seconds of exposure (light output min. 800 mW/cm2) with only a minimal amount of polymerisation shrinkage. The reduced shrinkage tension in x-tra fil delivers the foundation for a durable, marginally tight restoration. x-tra fil meets the special requirements for high wear, load-bearing restorations with its dentine-like compressive strength, thermal expansion behaviour and high abrasion resistance. Due to its very high radiopacity, x-tra fil provides an excellent radiological contrast to the tooth substance and thus ideal prerequisites for subsequent diagnoses. The high translucency of the material produces a chameleon effect and thus an aesthetic shade match to the surrounding tooth substance. The application time for x-tra fil can be shortened even more, in comparison to conventional posterior restoratives, by using a self-etch adhesive from the Futurabond family in the equally convenient and hygienic SingleDose.
