Case by Dr. Jusuf Lukarcanin
For all cases that require a particularly bright tooth shade – e.g. children or patients with bleached teeth / asking for a bleached effect in their restorations – CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES-2 Universal in the shade UW is likely to be the first choice. The young patient aged 28 shown below asked for diastema closure including shape and shade correction: She wanted to have a brighter, more beautiful smile.

Reasons for selecting universal white:
- Cases requiring a particularly high brightness or value
- Restorations in deciduous teeth
- Restorations in bleached teeth
Universal white properties:
- Well-balanced translucency
- High light-scattering effect
CONCLUSION
One universal composite, four shades: In the case of CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES-2 Universal, this portfolio is absolutely sufficient for single-shade restorations even in the aesthetically demanding anterior region. Properties such as a nice blend-in effect, a great polishability and gloss retention over time support dental practitioners in creating beautiful restorations. As shade determination may be based on very few criteria instead of a complex shade guide, the whole restoration procedure becomes less stressful and more efficient. Furthermore, with only four shades to stock and usually no blocker needed, the number of materials on stock is reduced, leading to facilitations in stock management as well.
