The Bioclear Method

A revolutionary approach to composite restorative dentistry

What do you get when you combine the cutting-edge procedural advances of Bioclear™ Matrix Systems with Solventum’s science-based, clinically proven dental products? Consistency. Control. Confidence. That’s the power of the Bioclear Method: together, intuitive methods and innovative materials make it easier for you to achieve beautifully transformative, long-lasting restorations that you and your patients will love.

The Bioclear Method uses a standardized five-step process, clear anatomic matrices and trusted materials like 3M™ Filtek™ Dental Restoratives to deliver consistently spectacular results. This suite of procedures makes it easier than ever to consistently treat black triangle cases, close diastemas and create natural class II restorations with anatomically sound contacts.
