Ivoclar Tetric N-Flow Bulk Fill Composite IVA

The new flowable composite complements the mouldable Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill composite. In essence, Tetric N-Flow Bulk Fill is based on the composition of Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill. The material is applied as a bulk-fill base in Class I and Class II restorations. Just like the existing version, it can be light-cured in large increments of up to four millimetres, requiring only short light exposure times. Excellent affinity to cavity walls and self-levelling consistency round off the benefits offered by this volume replacement material.

Aessencio technology

• Another strength of the new composite lies in the Aessencio technology. This technology causes the translucency of the material to decrease from 28% to approx. 10% during polymerization.

Indications

• As initial layer / first increment in Class I and II composite restorations in permanent teeth
• Restorations in deciduous teeth (without capping layer)

Features:

• Time-saving due to 4 mm bulk-filling
• More esthetic than other bulk-fill composites. Particularly in cases of discoloured tooth structure
• Ideal in combination with Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill and Tetric N-Ceram

Composition

The monomer matrix is composed of monomethacrylates and dimethacrylates (28 wt%). The fillers include barium glass, ytterbium trifluoride and copolymers (71 wt%). Additives, initiators, stabilizers and pigments are additional ingredients (<1.0 wt%). The total content of inorganic fillers is 68.2 wt% / 46.4 vol%. The particle size of the inorganic fillers ranges between 0.1 μm and 30 μm with a mean particle size of 5 μm.

Storage temperature: 2–28 °C
