Ivoclar Tetric N-Flow

Description

Features

• Excellent wetting behaviour allows for convenient application in all areas
• Outstanding stability – ideal for Class V restorations
• High level of radiopacity for a sound diagnosis

Direction to Use

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.
