Setting a new standard for the future of composites. Significant improvements in strength, wear-resistance, color
and bonding have been made since dental composite resins
were introduced. But the issue of volumetric shrinkage and
its affect on marginal integrity has largely gone unresolved.
Any time you restore a patient’s tooth, you strive to achieve
a “perfect margin” – a smooth connection between the tooth
structure and restoration without interruptions or gaps. Even
if your technique is perfect, the chemical response of the
composite material you use is out of your control.
Because all composites shrink, achieving lasting marginal
integrity has been a challenge – until now. 3M ESPE has
gone back to the laboratory, working from the ground up
to deliver a brand new solution.
Ten years in the making, Filtek™ P90 Low Shrink Posterior
Restorative is based on 3M ESPE’s latest product innovation:
silorane chemistry. This scientific breakthrough is the
long-awaited solution that combines lowest volumetric
shrinkage with biocompatibility. The silorane-based composite
works with a dedicated self-etch adhesive.
Why attaining an excellent margin is so important.To illustrate why this product chemistry breakthrough
is so important, we need to examine the clinical symptoms
associated with volumetric shrinkage, polymerization
stress and marginal gaps. Then we’ll show how Filtek P90
restorative, along with the dedicated 3M™ ESPE™
P90 System Adhesive Self-Etch Primer and Bond, work
together to alleviate the problems.
Siloranes
Silorane – Volumetric Shrinkage <1%1
Methacrylate – Volumetric Shrinkage
Revolutionary “ring-opening” silorane chemistry has resulted in the FIRST composite to shrink less than 1%! Silorane chemistry is the basis for a new composite category
breakthrough: Filtek™ P90 Low Shrink Posterior Restorative.
The illustration (left) demonstrates how the new silorane-based
composite works at the molecular level to reduce shrinkage
dramatically, compared to methacrylate-based composites.
As silorane-based composite polymerizes, “ring-opening”
monomers connect by opening, flattening and EXTENDING
toward each other. The result is significantly less volumetric
shrinkage compared to methacrylate-based composites.
As methacrylate-based composites cure, the molecules of these
“linear monomers” connect by actually SHIFTING closer
together in a linear response. The result is a loss of volume.

When a composite is closer to “no shrink” than “low shrink” … it deserves to be called a breakthrough!Since 1950, the main strategy to reduce shrinkage has been
to increase the filler load. However, shrinkage is an intrinsic
property of the resin matrix. To date, no methacrylate-based
chemistry has been developed to solve the shrinkage problem.
Now, by changing the resin matrix, 3M ESPE has solved
the problem with an innovative new ring-opening chemistry
called “silorane.”

Polymerization shrinkage builds up forces that challenge the composite/adhesive interface and deforms the tooth. Lowering
this “polymerization stress” reduces cusp displacement and helps to decrease the risk of enamel fractures and post-operative
sensitivity. It also reduces risk of marginal gap formation and leakage.
Reduced tooth deformation is evidence of reduced polymerization stress.In a study comparing Filtek P90 restorative to four
methacrylate-based composites, Filtek P90 restorative
showed the lowest cusp displacement in an MOD cavity.

Filtek P90 restorative reduces polymerization stress by up to 80%*
Finite element analysis images show how Filtek P90 restorative helps to minimize problems caused by polymerization stress.Note that the Filtek P90 restoration shows an absence of
“gray” high-stress areas where enamel cracks and leakage
in the margin can occur.

P90 System Adhesive Self-Etch Primer and Bond: A dedicated system adhesive for excellent bond strength.3M™ ESPE™ P90 System Adhesive Self-Etch Primer and
Bond is an easy to use two-vial system that offers excellent
bond strength to enamel and dentin, and provides the basis
for low risk of post-operative sensitivity you expect from
a self-etch system.
P90 System Adhesive Self-Etch Primer and Bond is a
6th generation two-step self-etching bonding system. It is the
one and only adhesive formulated to ensure optimal bonding
of the Filtek™ P90 Low Shrink Posterior Restorative.
NOTE: It is not designed to work with other composites.
Conventional composite: adhesive and shrinkage forces work in strong opposition.
The Filtek™ P90 Restorative System ensures marginal quality due to reduced shrinkage forces combined WITH excellent adhesive force values.
