Tetric PowerFlow: 1 x 2g Syringe - IVA

Tetric PowerFlow from Ivoclar Vivadent is a flowable posterior composite with a 4mm depth of cure and light-curing times starting from 3 seconds.

True-to-nature aesthetics for posterior restorations

Tetric PowerFlow allows you to achieve the same aesthetic results in the posterior region as with conventional composites. The highly reactive, patented light initiator Ivocerin® has paved the way for the development of Tetric PowerFlow for aesthetic posterior restorations.

Conventional composites designed for the placement of large increments are often very translucent. Ivocerin-containing composites offer enamel and dentin-like translucency levels and up to 4 mm increment placements whilst achieving a reliable depth of cure.

The Aessencio® technology presents a milestone in the aesthetic optimisation of 4-mm composites.

The material features a high initial translucency to be able to cure to the desired depth of cure. Whilst polymerizing, it gradually changes to a more opaque shade. In the case of Tetric PowerFlow, the final translucency is below 10% – a value that is very close to that of natural dentin. This allows stained tooth structure to be concealed effectively.

Well-matched materials

The different consistencies and shades of the Tetric range are uniquely formulated to be used in any combination. Very lifelike posterior restorations are possible, for example, when Tetric PowerFlow and Tetric Prime are combined. Tetric PowerFill and Tetric PowerFlow combine the advantages of a streamlined application protocol with the process reliability of conventional composites.

The layer thickness can be increased to up to 4mm

Compared with conventional layering techniques, fewer increments are required, creating ideal conditions for you to minimize process errors.

• High process reliability in use
• Less susceptibility to process-related air entrapments
• Reliable depth of cure in increments up to 4mm

Self-levelling consistency

Tetric® PowerFlow ensures excellent adaptation to cavity walls. It is ideally suited to fill large cavities in the posterior region.

Fewer errors thanks to short curing times

Light polymerization is seen as the most common source of error in direct restorative treatments. An efficient polymerization protocol that minimizes the curing time to the shortest possible length reduces the risks inherent in the light-curing step and increases the quality of the final restoration.

The light intensity produced by the curing device has a decisive effect on the length of time required to polymerize a composite. State-of-the-art curing lights can produce light intensities of up to 3,000 mW/cm2. They allow exposure times to be reduced to be as short as 3 seconds in some cases.

Should the curing light be accidentally moved during the curing procedure, the intelligent curing assistant of the Bluephase® PowerCure sends out an alert. In addition, all shades of the Tetric family of products can be cured with the same exposure times.
