Correct answer: BNanofilled composite

Nanofilled composites contain filler particles in the nanometre range (1-100 nm, as individual nanoparticles and nanoclusters). The extremely small particle size provides excellent surface polish and aesthetic properties comparable to microfilled composites, combined with the superior mechanical properties (strength, wear resistance) of hybrid composites. They are considered the most versatile composite type, suitable for both anterior and posterior restorations. Examples include Filtek Supreme Ultra.
