Tetric N-Ceram is a light-curing, radiopaque nano-hybrid composite based on nano-optimized technology for direct restorative procedures. It can be universally applied to restore teeth in the anterior and posterior region. Its nano-optimized filler technology is responsible for the material's unique chameleon effect and natural esthetic results.
Tetric N-Ceram demonstrates an exceptionally high level of radiopacity and thus significantly facilitates the diagnosis of secondary caries.

FEATURES :-

• Low shrinkage
• Low wear and high strength
• Nano colour pigments are responsible for the material´s unique chameleon effect and natural esthetic results
• The nano-modifier ensures optimum stability, excellent sculptability and convenient handling properties.
• Polymerization in only 10 seconds (≥ 1.100 mW/cm2 per increment) possible.

INDICATIONS :-

• Tetric N-Ceram is available in 16 shades – 10 enamel, 2 dentin, 1 incisal and 3 bleach shades.
• It is supplied in both syringes and Cavifils.

Direction to Use

Step 1

• Clean the tooth to be treated and adjacent  teeth with a brush and prophy paste and select the shade using Shade Guide.

Step 2

• Prepare the cavity
• (No residual amalgam or other base material should be left in the cavity)

Step3

•  Apply Actino 37% Phosphoric Acid Etchant Gel for 15-20 sec.
• Remove Gel with vigorous water spray and rinse conditioned area for at least 10 sec.
• Blot dry conditioned area with a moist cotton pellet.

Step 4

• Apply Fusion Bond 5 dentine bonding agent with a disposable brush to the entire cavity.
• Ensure thorough wetting of the entire cavity.
• Allow 20 sec air drying and re apply another coat of dentine bonding agent.
   Remove excess solvent by gently drying with dry air for at least 5sec to ensure uniform glossy surface.
• Cure adhesive for 20-30 sec using standard curing light.

Step 5

• Dispense the material using shaping instruments. Contour the material in the cavity.
• Light cure for 40 sec using standard curing light. When necessary build in increments of 2mm maximum using a layering technique.
• Shape and polish using standard technique and at last stage apply Nano Coat protective varnish.
