A collection of
well-coordinated products

Composite resins for virtually every direct restorative indication. Adhesives that are
easy to apply and offer excellent bond strength. This is what sets the nano-optimized
products of the Tetric® N-Collection apart.
The materials have been shown to demonstrate good clinical performance in the
­restoration of teeth since 2007. Irrespective of whether anterior or posterior
­restorative procedures are performed, the well-coordinated Tetric N-Collection
range offers a suitable material for any cavity size.

Users will not only benefit from products that have been tried and tested in years of
clinical use. They have the latest technology at their fingertips and thus more room to
manoeuvre in their daily restorative work.

4 mm to success

In the past, several 2-mm increments had to be applied

until the cavity was filled, which was rather time-­
consuming. The new Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill posterior
composite now offers fast bulk fills of up to 4 mm. 4 mm
Its smooth consistency makes the material particularly
easy to shape and sculpt.

A sophisticated concept
Due to the patented light initiator Ivocerin®, even large
4-mm increments can be cured in only 10 seconds (at
Conventional 2-mm layering 4-mm layer with
≥ 1,000 mW/cm2). Ivocerin is a polymerization booster Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill
­incorporated into the standard photo-
initator system of Tetric N-Ceram Bulk PATENTE

oxide (e.g. Lucirin TPO).

Despite the short exposure times, Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill

allows for a working time of up to 200 seconds. The inte-
grated light sensitivity filter is responsible for this feature.
It permits shaping and contouring of posterior restora-
tions entirely without time pressure.

Special shrinkage stress relievers reduce the shrinkage

stress that occurs during polymerization. They dampen
the forces exerted during shrinkage like a spring.

Tetric N-Ceram
®

The easy route to esthetic results

Tetric N-Ceram is the light-cured composite for direct

­restorative procedures in the anterior and posterior
­region. Due to the nano-optimized technology employed,
Tetric N-Ceram demonstrates excellent non-slumping
properties. They make the material convenient to shape
and sculpt. The integrated light sensitivity filter ensures
sufficiently long working time despite the short poly­
merization time of only 10 seconds (≥ 1,000 mW/cm2).

Another benefit of Tetric N-Ceram: The material does

not stick to the instrument.

Natural shade match

The nano-colour pigments are responsible for the
­material's optimum blend with the natural dentition.
They are finely distributed within the composite and
contribute to adjusting the shade of the restoration to
that of the surrounding tooth structure. As a result,
­restorations are achieved that meet esthetically
­demanding requirements.

Excellent radiopacity
The good radiopacity of a restorative material is the
­prerequisite for an accurate diagnosis of secondary caries.
The incorporation of an ytterbium fluoride filler imparts
Tetric N-Ceram with a high radiopacity of >  400% Al.
This helps to distinguish the restorative material from
natural tooth structure and makes long-term clinical
­success more predictable. Dr E. Mahn, Chile, 2011

Tetric N-Flow
®

The all-rounder flowable

Flowable composites are products without which modern

restorative dentistry would be unthinkable. They come in
handy whenever surface affinity is desired. This is where
Tetric N-Flow comes into play.

Tetric N-Flow features optimized viscosity with excellent

flow properties and is thus particularly suitable for use as
a lining material. Moreover, it can be used in Class V
­restorations because of its stable consistency that
­prevents slumping. The Viscosity Controller is responsible
for this characteristic. At the same time, it regulates the
composite’s viscosity during extrusion.

Liner in combination with regular-viscosity composites Extended fissure sealing Small fillings of all kinds (Class III and V)
such as Tetric N-Ceram/Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill in Class I
to V restorations

Tetric N-Flow can be ideally combined with other light-

cured composite restoratives, e.g. Tetric N-Ceram and
Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill. The material's outstanding
­wetting behaviour allows it to be conveniently applied
in virtually all areas of the cavity.

Tetric N-Bond and Tetric N-Bond Self-Etch
® ®

Reliable adhesion - every time

Irrespective of whether they are used in the total-etch

or self-etch mode, the light-cured, single-component
­adhesives of the Tetric N-Collection are capable of
­establishing a sound bond between dental hard tissue
and the restoration.

The acetone-free formulation of the products prevents

premature evaporation of the solvent during adhesive
­application. Due to the products´ stable consistency over Dr A. Baez, Chile, 2011

time, reliable infiltration of the dental hard tissue is

­ensured. Moreover, the glossy layer that forms on the
surface during application enables a reliable visual
­inspection.

Dr S. Hernandez, Mexico, 2011

Advantages at a glance:
• Time-saving: one step, one layer
• Establishes a stable bond to enamel and dentin
• Consistently high quality and bonding strength

Bond strength that convinces users

The largest part of the prepared tooth surface usualy
consists of dentin. High dentin bonding values are
therefore synonymous with good overall adhesion of the
restoration. At the same time, good enamel adhesion is
indispensable to achieve a reliable marginal seal.
