A Precise Balance of Handling, Esthetics, and Performance
With Ultradent’s innovative formula, Mosaic universal composite delivers lasting, lifelike restorations. Use this product for all restorative purposes, no matter the complexity.
The key to producing a superior composite is not to place emphasis on a single unique feature or raw material, but to achieve a precise balance between a multitude of components. Flexibility, longevity, and natural results highlight the benefits of Mosaic universal composite.
What the clinician considers to be a minor restoration can make a strong impact on the patient’s satisfaction with their smile.
Highly Sculptable Handling Provides Total Control
Fantastic control and sculptability is provided by the creamy consistency of Mosaic composite. This facilitates natural anatomy to be sculpted without fear of fine details slumping or fading as you manipulate other areas of the restoration. Mosaic composite is able to “feather” out to a thin, clean edge without crumbling or tearing. When you need to adapt the composite to the margins of the restoration, this product will deliver quality results.

“I was very impressed with how Mosaic handled. I love the consistency. It was also very easy to place, sculpt, and condense.”

Balanced Performance Ensures Functional Durability and Esthetic Longevity
Mosaic composite is a symphony of form and function. This balance has been struck without compromising the integrity of other critical material properties such as wear, flexural strength, compressive strength, and gloss retention.
Mosaic composite’s twenty intuitive shade options provide predictable, natural results. In the anterior region where a natural result is critical, shade matching with a composite resin is only part of the equation. The opacity and translucency of a restorative material should be considered with equal importance, as the interplay with light affects the final result. Mosaic composite was created to match the most common shades and translucency of natural teeth, bringing more natural smiles to light. Use the shade chart below to view your options.

Procedures
Mosaic Universal Composite Step by Step
See Instructions for Use for complete instructions, warnings, and precautions.
Step 1
For Class IV restorations, veneers, or diastema closures, we recommend a silicon putty matrix fabricated from diagnostic wax-up.
Step 2
Use the matrix as a guide for the basic shape of the restoration and to support the initial lingual placement of material.
Step 3
Inner dentin body layer includes the basic hue of the exposed dentin. Apply basic hue (A3 shown) and create mamelons using a carver.
Step 4
Cover body and extend enamel edge with appropriate enamel shade (Enamel Neutral shown).
Step 5
Make final adjustments with multifluted finishing burs. Use Jiffy™ composite adjusting and polishing cups, points, and disks for smoothing.
