Consultants’ Comments
- “I can finish most of my posterior restorations in a single layer because of the deep curing.”
- “Easy to extrude and handling is amazing.”
- “The universal shade is really just that. I did not expect the color to blend with most teeth, but it did!”
- “Capsules of composite come in a handy box with a magnetic closure.”
Clinical Evaluation Results
- Aura Bulk Fill was evaluated by 33 consultants in 657 uses.
- The composite handles well, adapting to cavity walls and allowing sculpting without sticking to the instrument.
- The single, universal shade approximates A2 and blends well with surrounding enamel.
- Options of two extra shades were requested by some consultants.
- The 40-second curing time is longer than average
