Competence Universal is a light-cure micro-hybrid composite for restorations of all cavity classes. Competence Universal is very agreeable to handle because it does not stick to the instruments and at the same time adapts very well to the cavity walls. The composite shows a very low shrinkage. Competence Universal generates esthetic results because it is high gloss polishable and translucent. Thanks to its high strength and outstanding esthetics, Competence Universal is suitable for veneers.
