USING FILL-UP! FOR CLASS II CAVITIES The new Fill-Up! bulk composite lends itself for use on the young patient with approximal secondary caries on tooth 36 mesial (Fig ı). The cavity is prepared after drying with the dental dam (Elasti-Dam, COLTENE). Applying the known rules for the acid etching technique, Fill-Up! was quasi under-filled to approximately 2 mm below the preparation margin before applying the covering layer of SYNERGY D6. Finishing and polishing was performed with DIATECH products by COLTENE.
CONCLUSIONS Every time we want to use a good flowing composite for larger cavities in our practice, without having to accept the known disad- vantages of shrinking stress, then the Fill-Up! bulk composite is an excellent complement to our present range of composite materials (for example, SYNERGY Flow or SYNERGY D6). The dual-curing principle is a major advantage compared with the existing thin-flowing bulk composites presently available on the market, for example, Filtek Bulk Fill by 3M ESPE. The conventional maximum layer thickness
of 4-5 mm can certainly be exceeded without drawbacks in daily routine. A good restoration can also be ensured if the increment lies in the so-called “light shadow” of the polymerisation lamp. The material properties described here can also prove useful when filling a root- treated tooth and result in quicker restoration of the tooth. With the Fill-Up! bulk composite by
COLTENE, one can be assured that the dual-curing material is cured completely in every part of the filling after three minutes (including processing time). The offered product is convenient and simple to handle, due to the different diameters of the mixing tip attachments. In addition, the filling with bulk and hybrid
composite represents a clear advantage in terms of time saved when compared with conventional filling methods consisting of several small increments. And finally, the application of a covering layer of SYNERGY D6 results in good aesthetics as well as contact point design.

From nought to high gloss in no time
Universal composite BRILLIANT EverGlow is distinguished by long-lasting gloss stability
It is vital in restorative dentistry to have a high-performance, reliable material for an aesthetically attractive and quick result. Ultra-modern composites offer excellent blending and can be quickly processed with no complications.
PERMANENT GLOSS IN NEXT TO NO TIME
The specially-developed BRILLIANT EverGlow from COLTENE represents an entirely new quality of composite. Due to the intelligent composition with special fillers, the sub-micron hybrid universal composite offers an excep- tionally uniform and smooth surface. Dentists can achieve highly aesthetic results in next to no time. The versatile filling material also excels through its extremely durable gloss stability. BRILLIANT EverGlow comprises seven universal and two transparent shades. Unique blending properties ensure the shades integrate harmoniously into the existing dental arch. Elaborate layering can also often be dispensed with as a natural restoration is already achieved with the single use of a universal-shade. An additional enamel shade can help those with relatively translucent teeth.
SMOOTH CONSISTENCY FOR GOOD WETTING ABILITY The smooth BRILLIANT EverGlow composite allows better handling for dentists and can be applied easily into cavities of all classes. The dimensionally
stable material can be modelled without GLOSS RETENTION

haste until polymerisation. Due to its good wetting capacity, it offers excellent adhesion to bonded tooth surfaces without sticking to the instru- ments. The abrasion-resistant material is suitable for anterior and posterior restorations.
Even after loading for 6,000 cycles in a toothbrush simulator, BRILLIANT EverGlow retains its initial gloss and performs very well 1 Source: internal 1* not a trademark COLTENE
