Instructions
Finally, a composite that's… Easy to handle, Easy to polish, Easy on your budget!

Simile™ nano-hybrid composite offers the esthetics of a microfill, for use in the anterior, and the strength of a hybrid, for use in the posterior region. It is available in the most popular, easy-to-match shades, including two incisal and two bleach shades.  Simile™ is always 25% to 30% less expensive than most comparable micro-hybrid composites.


“Physical & clinical properties of… Simile™ indicate clinicians can expect about the same performance as Herculite XRV & Filtek Z250, but with improved handling and a little smoother surface.”

Nanofill Composites - What can clinicians expect?
CRA Newsletter, January 2003



Simile™ provides an easy-to-handle viscosity throughout placement and is available in convenient syringe or compule formats. It offers superior properties for all classes of restorations.

After years of development, Simile represents the finest composite Pentron® Clinical Technologies has ever produced. Its nano particle filler technology gives unbeatable polishability in a high strength, all-purpose composite. Simile™'s polycarbonate/Bis-GMA resin is not only tough, it also provides soft, sculptable handling that doesn't get sticky.
