Ivoclar Tetric N Flow Bulkfill 2g IVA

Product Description

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)

Specifications

Composition

The monomer matrix is composed of monoetherates and methacrylate's (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.

Directions

Application of Tetric N-Flow Bulk Fill

• Tetric N-Flow Bulk Fill can be applied in increments of up to 4 mm thickness.
• Tetric N-Flow Bulk Fill must be covered with a layer of methacrylate based universal or posterior composite (e.g. Tetric N-Ceram/Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill/IPS Empress Direct).
• Proximal contacts must be established by means of a matrix system. The filling material does not exert any pressure on the matrix band. The matrix band can be shaped with a suitable hand instrument (e.g. a balltype condenser) before and/or during light-curing.
• Complete polymerization requires a sufficiently long exposure time. For the recommendations regarding exposure time and light intensity see table.
• When using a metal matrix, additionally polymerize the composite material from the buccal or lingual/palatal aspect after removing the matrix, if no Bluephase N polymerization light is used or the light probe cannot be ideally positioned, e.g. distant to composite or diverging scattering angle.

Packaging

• 1 x 2gm syringe
