Multi-colored dual-cured compomer.
A new polyacid-modified resin-based composite (compomer) restorative material has been introduced. Unlike other compomers, this material undergoes both chemical polymerization and photocuring hardening reactions. The new compomer is called MagicFil, and its chief attraction to children is that it is manufactured in 4 different colors, all with glitter inclusions.
