Ivoclar Vivadent introduces Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill, a unique nano-hybrid composite material developed to deliver fast and efficient bulk placement of direct posterior composite restorations. Restorations can be placed with a single material, in 1 increment, without the need for additional layers or dispensing equipment.
The efficiency of Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill is a result of 3 unique, patented technologies including: Shrinkage Stress Relievers that ensure excellent marginal integrity; a Polymerization Booster within the initiator system that enables 4-mm-thick layers of composite that can cure in just 10 seconds; and a Light-Sensitivity Filter that provides extended working time under ambient light.
Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill composite offers a smooth, creamy consistency for excellent adaptation to cavity walls. It can be contoured immediately after placement without the need for an additional final layer. The 3 universal shades demonstrate an enamel-like translucency of 15%—so restorations blend seamlessly with natural dentition—yet the material demonstrates high radiopacity for easy detection on dental x-rays. Additionally, Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill composite restorations are polished quickly and easily because of the material’s well-balanced filler composition. —Bob Alaburda
