Ivoclar Vivadent, Inc. announces that the proven direct composite performer —Tetric Ceram—has evolved into Tetric EvoCeram, a state-of-the-art universal composite material featuring nano-technology. Now, for the first time ever, three types of nano-particles (e.g. nano-fillers, nano-pigments and nano-modifiers) are utilized in a single composite formulation providing lower wear, low shrinkage & reduced shrinkage stress and much faster & easier polishability all in addition to excellent shade matching qualities. Dental professionals who currently use Tetric Ceram will continue to appreciate the excellent non-sticky handling, extended working times and high radiopacity they have come to expect from the original formulation while gaining additional benefits provided by this new, nano-optimized chemistry.
Tetric EvoCeram enhances productivity in the dental practice through faster & easier application. Nano-modifiers have made the material easier to handle, mould and sculpt. Nano-pigments provide a more natural chameleon effect providing the opportunity to utilize a single shade of material. And, nano-fillers provide a much smoother surface allowing dental professionals to achieve high gloss results faster and easier than ever before.
Tetric EvoCeram enhances performance through an optimized balance of nano-fillers, pre-polymerized particles and fine-particle glass fillers. The result is lower wear rates, reduced shrinkage and reduced shrinkage stress for exceptional marginal integrity and maximized, long-term performance.
Ultimately, Tetric EvoCeram offers enhanced esthetics to patients. Nano-pigments help better adjust the shade of the restoration to the surrounding teeth and impart a more natural chameleon effect while the nano-fillers provide a smoother surface finish for a long lasting, high gloss appearance.
Packaged in both Cavifils and screw-type syringes, Tetric EvoCeram is available in 19 shades (11 A-D shades, 3 opaque A-D shades, 4 extra white bleach shades, and a Transparent shade), providing clinicians with a multitude of esthetic options for anterior and posterior restorations.
