The composite restorative Tetric N-Ceram incorporates state-of-the-art nano-hybrid technology.
Tetric N-Ceram from Ivoclar Vivadent is a light-curing, radiopaque dental restorative which is based on nano-hybrid composite technology.
It is suitable for the esthethic restoration of teeth in the anterior and posterior region.
Because of the nano-hybrid technology, Tetric N-Ceram features excellent mechanical properties.
The prepolymers are responsible for the material’s low shrinkage.
Tetric N-Ceram’s high radiopacity of 400 % Al is due to the filler ytterbium fluoride.
It considerably facilitates the radiographic detection of secondary caries.
Tetric N-Ceram’s nano-optimized formula forms the basis of the material’s low wear and high strength.
Versatile application and shading options-The nano-modifier contained in Tetric N-Ceram imparts the material with outstanding modelling properties.
The material does not stick to instruments.
Nano-particles are responsible for the material’s exceptional polishing properties.
The integrated nano-colour pigments are characteristic of the technology used in Tetric N-Ceram.
Together with the natural translucency of the material, they create a chameleon effect.
The nano-colour pigments feature a spherical structure.
As they are homogenously distributed in the composite, they are responsible for improving the adjustment of the shade of the restoration to the surrounding natural teeth.
As a result, very beautiful restorations are achieved, which are hardly distinguishable from the natural tooth structure.
Tetric N-Ceram is available in 16 shades: two dentin shades, ten enamel shades, a highly translucent incisal shade and three bleach shades.
