What is Clearfil Majesty™ ES-2 Universal?
CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES-2 Universal is the latest addition to the MAJESTY™ “ ES-2 series.

It is recommended for use in the posterior region of the mouth. Formulated with optimal viscosity, it assures easy handling and placement. The composite is available in both traditional syringes or Pre-loaded tips (PLTs). What makes this Universal truly special is that one shade covers all shades of the VITA classic A1-D3 shade guide. The Universal shade is recommended for all Class I, II and V restorations.

How many shades are available and how will they be used?
