Ivoclar Tetric N-Flow Bulk Fill Composite IVA

• 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

• 1 x 2gm syringe

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.

Question: Can Ivoclar Tetric N-Flow Bulk Fill be used on its own for restorations?
Answer: While Tetric N-Flow Bulk Fill can be used as a base in bulk-fill procedures, it must be covered with a layer of methacrylate-based universal or posterior composite, such as Tetric N-Ceram or Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill, for optimal performance and aesthetics.

Question: What makes Ivoclar Tetric N-Flow Bulk Fill more aesthetic than other bulk-fill composites?Answer: Its aesthetic advantage comes from the Aessencio technology, which reduces the translucency of the material during polymerization from 28% to approximately 10%, allowing for more natural-looking restorations, especially in cases of discolored tooth structures.

Question: What is Ivoclar Tetric N-Flow Bulk Fill Composite and how is it used?
Answer: Ivoclar Tetric N-Flow Bulk Fill Composite is a flowable, light-curing dental composite designed for bulk-filling techniques in Class I and Class II restorations. It can be applied in increments of up to 4mm, offering time-saving benefits and is particularly suitable for cases with discolored tooth structures due to its aesthetic qualities.
