New from Shofu is Beautifil II Gionomer. This state of the art composite restorative material is based on Pre-Reacted Glass Ionomer technology. This clever PRG technology combines the benefits of glass ionomers with those of composite resins to produce a biocompatible, fluoride releasing, high strength, beautifully aesthetic material.

Due to the ongoing release and recharge of the fluoride particles within Beautifil II, secondary caries is no longer a concern, with the added benefit that plaque will not adhere to the surface of a Beautifil II restoration. Saliva forms a material film on the surface of Beautifil II that is reported to minimise plaque adhesion and inhibit bacterial colonisation as an ongoing process.

The chameleon effect makes Beautifil II the material of choice for all restorations as the material takes on the colour of the surrounding tooth tissue. With a highly translucent finish this radiopaque versatile, highly dependable material exhibits excellent wear resistance combined with a high filler load to ensure longevity of the final restoration.
