Get to know SHOFU BEAUTIFIL Bulk Restorative ®
Product Description:
- Bulk Fill Posterior Composite with Bioactive GIOMER Technology.
Functional:
- Beautifil-Bulk Restorative is the ideal metal-free material for bulk fill posterior restorations. This highly filled material (87.0%) offers low shrinkage (<1.7%) and wear resistance, 4mm depth of cure, as well as the combination of superior compressive and flexural strength for maximum durability. In addition, Beautifil-Bulk Restorative's esthetics are unmatched by any competitor.
BIOACTIVE GIOMER TECHNOLOGY INSIDE:
- Shofu's proprietary GIOMER Technology gives Beautifil-Bulk Restorative long-term ion exchange for anti-bacterial and acid neutralizing effects to minimize problems caused by plaque and biofilm which may lead to restorative failure. A Univ. of Florida Dental School clinical study showed no secondary decay or failures after 8 years! Beautifil-Bulk Restorative is the only product in this market segment that gives the bioactive and therapeutic benefits of GIOMER Technology and the clinically efficiency of posterior bulk filling.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Answers to your questions and inquiries about the product
What is the primary use of BEAUTIFIL-Bulk Restorative?
It is specifically designed for bulk-filling posterior restorations, allowing for efficient placement in increments up to 4mm thick.
What are the key benefits of the GIOMER technology?
The GIOMER technology provides long-term ion exchange, resulting in anti-bacterial and acid-neutralizing effects, fluoride release and recharge, and helps prevent secondary decay.
How does the low shrinkage of BEAUTIFIL-Bulk Restorative benefit the restoration?
Low shrinkage (<1.7%) minimizes the risk of marginal gaps forming between the restoration and the tooth structure, which can lead to secondary caries and restoration failure.
What is the filler loading of BEAUTIFIL-Bulk Restorative?
It has a high filler loading of 87.0%, contributing to its strength and wear resistance.
What shades are available?
It is available in two shades: Universal and A.
Is there clinical evidence supporting the long-term performance of BEAUTIFIL-Bulk Restorative?
Yes, a University of Florida Dental School clinical study showed no secondary decay or failures after 8 years of using a Giomer material, demonstrating the long-term benefits of the technology.
Can this be used in anterior teeth?
This material is specifically designed and marketed for posterior restorations. While it could potentially be used in some anterior cases, the limited shade range and bulk-fill nature make it less ideal than other composites specifically designed for anterior aesthetics (like the standard Beautifil II or Beautifil II LS).
What is the advantage of this material over competitors?
Beautifil-Bulk Restorative’s esthetics are unmatched by any competitor. Also it’s the only product in this market segment that gives the bioactive and therapeutic benefits of GIOMER Technology and the clinically efficiency of posterior bulk filling.
