Product Description
- Continually Fluoride Releasing Aesthetic Dental Restorative Material.
- Giomer Technology.
- PRG Technology
More than just filling
- Beautifil II stands out for its aesthetic appearance with excellent colour harmonisation, exceptional handling properties and its anti-plaque effect.
- The patented filler technology integrates the light transmission and diffusion properties of natural teeth. This enables naturally appearing restorations with even one layer.
Available Packages
- Syringes in various shades.
Extra features:
- Beautifil II has the ability to continually release fluoride and offers patients effective protection against secondary caries. This property can be further enhanced to a double fluoride release with SHOFU's FL-Bond II, a 2-step self-etching, fluoride releasing bonding system.
Hardness of Beautifil material:
- The hardness of the glass filler used as raw material of Beautifil II is similar to that of enamel and is antagonist-friendly. The material is therefore suitable for both anterior and posterior teeth.
Illustrative Image
- Close-up image of beautifully restored anterior teeth, showcasing excellent color matching and natural appearance.
Giomer and S-PRG Technology:
- Explanation of Giomer technology, where Beautifil II is based on PRG (Pre-Reacted Glass ionomer) technology.
- Clarification that the inorganic filler consists of pre-reacted micro-glass particles.
- Explanation of the formation of a stable glass ionomer phase on the surface of the glass particles.
- S-PRG fillers (Surface Pre-Reacted Glass ionomer) give the composite specific features, such as the recharge and release of fluoride or the anti-plaque effect, without impairing its physical parameters.
- Diagram of the production process and filler components.
- SPECIAL FEATURES: Fluoride release and recharge, Aesthetics close to natural teeth, Anti-plaque effect, High level of radiopacity, Long term clinical stability, Resistance to wear of posterior teeth.
- Diagram of S-PRG interaction on the tooth surface.
Fluoride Release and Recharge:
- Explanation of the mechanism of fluoride release and recharge from S-PRG fillers in Beautifil II.
- Emphasis that fluoride release occurs in areas where it is most needed (adjacent contact areas).
- Mention of the possibility of recharging Beautifil II with fluoride from external sources (mouth rinses, professional treatment, toothpastes).
- Reference to an 8-year clinical study that proved the effectiveness of this property.
- A chart illustrating the concentration of fluoride in the mouth.
Characteristic Features:
- Conducts Light Naturally: Explanation of Beautifil II's ability to recreate the effects of light transmission and diffusion in natural teeth. This is attributed to the unique filler technology.
- Color Stability: Emphasis that the shade of Beautifil II negligibly differs during modeling as well as before and after curing.
- Recommended Use of Colors: Explanation of the available color range (12 colors) and how to use them to achieve natural layering. Mention of opaque dentin colors (A2O and A3O), enamel shade (Inc), and Bleaching White shade (BW).
Anti-plaque Effect
- Explanation of the formation of a regenerating layer on the surface of the tooth restored with Beautifil II, minimizing plaque accumulation and discoloration. Microscopic images showing the difference between the surface of Beautifil II (sporadic plaque formation) and a conventional composite resin (extensive plaque formation).
Optimum Polishability:
- Explanation of the ease of polishing Beautifil II due to the average particle size and integration of nano-fillers. Illustrative image of the polishing process.
Fluorescence:
- Emphasis that the fluorescence of Beautifil II is similar to that of natural teeth.
Extraordinary Radiopacity:
- Emphasis that the radiopacity of Beautifil II is higher than enamel and dentin, allowing for reliable X-ray diagnostics.
Outstanding Handling Properties
- Emphasis on the ease of shaping and attaching Beautifil II to the tooth structure. Mention that the viscosity of the material is stable and does not stick to instruments. Reference to the "one-touch cap" of the syringe for ease of use.
Reliable Strength and Durability:
- Explanation of the homogenous microstructure of Beautifil II and high filler loading, ensuring excellent physical properties and long-term stability. Reference to an 8-year clinical study.
Physical Properties Table:
- Presentation of a table summarizing the physical properties of Beautifil II, including compressive strength, flexural strength, Vickers hardness, wear resistance, filler loading, average filler size, radiopacity, and fluoride release/recharge.
Indications:
- restorations that demand highest aesthetics and biocompatibility, such as:
- Restorations of class I to V cavities.
- Restoration of cervical erosion and root caries.
- Repair of fractured incisal edges.
- Veneers and posts.
- Direct cosmetic repairs.
System Components:
- Beautifil Flow (flowable versions with different viscosities).
- Beautifil Opaquer (for masking discolorations).
- FL-Bond II (two-step self-etching bonding system). FL-Bond II also contains fluoride-releasing S-PRG fillers and enhances fluoride release when used with Beautifil II. FL-Bond II Primer is free of HEMA and acetone. FL-Bond II Bonding Agent is radiopaque and easy to apply.

Yes, it can be used in both due to its strength and aesthetic appearance.
Is Beautifil II easy to use?
Yes, it has excellent handling properties, is easy to shape, and does not stick to instruments.as
Does Beautifil II change color after curing?
No, it has excellent color stability, meaning its color does not change significantly after curing.
Is Beautifil II radiopaque?
Yes, it has high radiopacity, making it clearly visible on X-rays.
What are the available shades of Beautifil II?
It is available in 12 different shades, in addition to opaque dentin shades, a translucent enamel shade, and a bleaching white shade.
