CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 Universal is the latest addition to the MAJESTY ES-2 series. Like the Classic and Premium series, it is a light-cure, radiopaque restorative material which provides accurate color matching, high polishability and excellent physical properties, making it ideal for both anterior and posterior restorations. It is formulated with optimal viscosity, assuring easy handling and placement. It is packaged in traditional syringes or Pre-loaded tips (PLTs).

What makes this Universal series truly special is that the shades cover all shades of the VITA classical A1-D3 shade standard with a limited number of syringes/PLTs depending on the cavity class.

CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 Universal is a simplified system that covers all the shades of the VITA classical A1-D3 shade standard with 3 syringes (an additional Universal White is available for high value restorations). The mechanical properties are identical to those of CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 PREMIUM and CLASSIC.

There are 4 CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 Universal shades available. These are U (Universal), UL (Universal Light), UD (Universal Dark), and UW (Universal White). The CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 Universal shades are used depending on the cavity class:

• A single shade “U (Universal)” will cover all the posterior restorations (Classes I, II).
• For the anterior area (Class III, IV, V), 2 shades are available: “UL (Universal Light)” (A1, A2 groups) and “UD (Universal Dark)” (A3, A3.5, A4 groups).
• Additionally, “UW (Universal White)” is available for restorations that require a high value/brightness.

The improved light diffusion of CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 Universal offers superior blending to tooth structure. Adjustments have been made regarding the translucency/light diffusion balance, allowing for a further improved color adaptation to the surrounding tooth structure.

Universal, Classic and Premium series can be used for all cases.

• Universal shades are recommended when looking for a simplified and easy-to use system that will work for the vast majority of your daily cases.
• Classic shades offer more shade options for specific cases.
• Premium shades are recommended for those cases with highest aesthetic demands or for large cavities in the anterior area. The balance of opacity and translucency can be adjusted by using both enamel and dentin-specific shades.

CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 Universal is indicated for the following restorative applications:

1. Direct restorations for all cavity classes in anterior and posterior teeth

2. Direct veneers

3. Correction of tooth position and tooth shape (e.g. diastema closure, mesiodens, etc.)

4. Intraoral repair of fractured restorations

Yes. CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 Universal keeps the same handling and mechanical properties as the Classic and Premium series. It has a significantly longer working time than competitive products (over 4 minutes under ambient light). Having a longer working time is very beneficial for example when sculpting the anatomical aspects into the restoration.

The filler content of CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 Universal amounts to 78 wt% (66 vol%).

The polishability is the same as already established with MAJESTY ES-2 series. CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 Universal offers easy polishing with a durable gloss. CLEARFIL Twist Dia is recommended for fast and easy polishing.

CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 Universal will be supplied in a syringe, as well as PLT delivery (PLT = pre-loaded tip).

CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 Universal must be stored at 2-25°C when not in use. When the product is stored in the refrigerator, it should be left at room temperature for more than 15 minutes before each use to ensure the desired handling properties.

The concept of the Universal series is that a shade guide is not needed in order to work in a simplified way.

As a reference, use U shade for all posterior cavities, UL for anterior cavities that demand a high value / lightness (A1, A2 ranges) and UD for anterior cavities with lower value / darker appearance (A3, A3.5, A4 ranges). Use UW for the tooth determined as W/XW shade, if the restoration requires an even higher lightness or value. The package includes a chart that can be used as reference.

While restorations in the posterior area lead a shadowy existence most of the time due to the surrounding hard and soft tissues, the anterior are always in the spotlight. Briefly speaking: Light dynamics are totally different. Thus, both areas have different requirements that we are able to address offering specific shades. Doing this, it is possible to maintain a stronger focus on aesthetics and offer a more accurate shade match that will result in superior aesthetic restorations compared to manufacturers offering a single-shade solution.

ES-2 represents Esthetic and Simple.

The shelf life is the same as the rest of CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 series: 48 months from date of manufacture.
