Key Takeaways
In cases where patients do not wish for grafting surgery, enamel composite may be a viable option for direct esthetic restorations.
Shofu's Beautifil II Enamel, a bioactive, nanohybrid composite, is available in naturally translucent and opalescent shades that facilitate life-like shade reproduction to meet clinical needs. It features exceptional handling characteristics with a smooth consistency, long working time for easy sculpting of fine surface details, high abrasion/wear resistance, and excellent polishability and sustained polish retention.
Beautifil II Enamel's proprietary Bioactive Giomer Technology provides clinically proven therapeutic properties of acid neutralization and bacterial reduction, greatly reducing secondary decay, and may improve tissue response and periodontal health on Class V restorations.
