CLEARFIL MAJESTY UNIVERSAL - Science
As the latest addition to the CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES family of light-curing, radiopaque composite restorative materials, CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 Universal has decades of silane and filler technology under its belt. CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ products are popular among dental practitioners around the globe and renowned for their longevity and low wear over time.
CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 Universal performs incredibly well when it comes to key properties of the restorations in the posterior region:
A high strength and wear resistance
Low antagonist wear
Low shrinkage stress
It's well-balanced wear properties ensure a stable occlusion over time, while the antagonist is not affected. The material's low polymerization shrinkage stress helps to prevent marginal discolouration and microleakage that might lead to secondary caries.

The wear of CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 Universal (red) are shown to be less than the wear of Omnichroma (Tokuyama) and Filtek Universal Restorative (3M).
The properties ensuring aesthetic results over time are a material’s polishability and gloss retention. CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 Universal outperforms other products that offer simplified shade selection. It is very well polishable for a natural, enamel-like appearance, and gloss value remains high even after toothbrush abrasion for great long-term results. The mechanical properties highlighted for the posterior shade are offered by the anterior shade options as well.
A reduction of the number of shades is possible due to the integration of Kuraray Noritake Dental's Light Diffusion Technology (LDT). This technology distorts light in a similar way dental tissue does. As a consequence, the material integrates into the surrounding tooth structure easily and smoothly. The outcomes are beautiful in the long term.
Dark stains at the cavity floor become invisible under the material that absorbs, scatters and diffuses light in the right way.There is no need for the application of a blocker or opaquer to conceal visual flaws while using CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES-2 Universal in most of your regular cases.
