Case by Dr. Michał Pokojski

When restoring primary carious lesions in the posterior area with composite, I wish to use a material that allows me to produce high-quality outcomes in an efficient procedure. The most important qualities of the restoration are its perfect marginal integrity and reliable long-term behaviour, which set the stage for a long and healthy life of the otherwise healthy tooth.

Reliability paired with ease of use is what I expected from the selected material combination: CLEARFIL™ SE Bond 2, a popular self-etch adhesive containing the original MDP monomer, and CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES-2 Universal. According to Kuraray Noritake Dental, the innovative resin composite comes with a universal shade concept and mechanical properties such as shrinkage, wear resistance and colour stability similar to those of proven CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ products. As a single shade is available for the posterior region, the need for shade determination is eliminated, which allows the dental practitioner to focus on the clinical work steps. In this case, a small primary defect in a third molar was restored. The outcome speaks for itself.
