Ivoclar Tetric N-Flow
Detail
Tetric N-Flow is a light-curing, radiopaque flowable nano-hybrid composite based on nano-optimized technology. Tetric N-Flow is based on 10 years of tradition and the clinical performance of Tetric Flow. Because of the material&rsquos outstanding wetting ability even in areas that are hard to reach, it is particularly suitable for use as a cavity liner and for small cavities of any kind. At the same time, the material offers outstanding stability and is thus ideal for Class V restorations.
Tetric N-Flow is the ideal complement to Tetric N-Ceram for an esthetic restoration.
Tetric N-Flow is available in 10 shades &ndash 6 enamel, 1 dentin, 1 incisal and 2 bleach shades. It is supplied in both syringes and Cavifils.
 Indications:
- As initial layer under class I and II restorations
- Anterior restorations (Classes III, IV)
- Class V restorations (cervical caries, root erosion, wedge-shaped defects)
- Small restorations of all types
- Extended fissure sealing
- Splinting of mobile teeth
- Blocking out of undercuts
- Adhesive cementation of translucent ceramic and composite restorations
Application of Tetric N-Flow
- 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.
- Excellent wetting behaviour allows for convenient application in all areas
- Outstanding stability &ndash ideal for Class V restorations
- High level of radiopacity for a sound diagnosis
- 1 x 2gm syringe
