Ivoclar Tetric PowerFill Composite Syringe

Flexural Strength : 119 MPa

Shades : Tetric PowerFill is available in the following shades:

• Universal shade: IVA, IVB,
• Bleach shade : IVW

Composition :

• The monomer matrix is composed of dimethacrylates (20– 21 wt%).
• The fillers contain barium glass, ytterbium trifluoride, mixed oxide and copolymers (79– 80 wt.%).
• Additives, initiators, stabilizers and pigments are additional ingredients (< 1.0 wt%).
• The total content of inorganic fillers is 76–77 wt% or 53 – 54 vol%.
• The particle size of inorganic fillers is between 40 nm and 3 µm

Side effects :

• In individual cases, components of Tetric PowerFill may lead to sensitization. Tetric PowerFill should not be used in such cases.
• To avoid possible irritation of the pulp, areas close to the pulp should be protected with a suitable pulp/ dentin protector (selectively apply a calcium hydroxide-based preparation in areas close to the pulp and cover with suitable cavity liner).

Shelf life and storage :

• Storage temperature 2– 28 °C (36–82 °F)
• Close syringes/Cavifils immediately after usage. Exposure to light leads to premature polymerization.
• Do not use Tetric PowerFill after the indicated date of expiration.
• Date of expiration: see information on Cavifils, syringes and packages.

Shade Determination:

• Clean the teeth before selecting the shade.
• Choose the shade with the tooth still moist.

Isolation:

• Ensure adequate relative or absolute isolation using suitable auxiliaries like OptraGate or OptraDam Plus.

Cavity Preparation:

• Prepare the cavity based on the adhesive technique requirements.
• Avoid sharp internal edges and angles in caries-free areas.
• Cavity dimensions are determined by the extent of caries or the size of the old restoration.
• Round sharp enamel edges in the posterior region.
• Clean, but do not prepare, caries-free cervical defects.
• Remove all residue from the cavity with water spray and dry it.

Pulp Protection/Base:

• Do not use the 3sCure mode for restorations near the pulp.
• Do not apply a base material when using an enamel/dentin bonding agent.
• Only cover deep areas close to the pulp with a calcium hydroxide material.
• Use a pressure-resistant cement in such cases.
• Do not cover other cavity walls since they support bonding with an enamel/dentin adhesive.

Apply Matrix/Interdental Wedge:

• Use a wrap-around matrix for cavities affecting the proximal area or a sectional matrix, and wedge it in place.

Conditioning/Application of Bonding Agent:

• Follow the Instructions for the Use of the bonding agent.
• A recommended bonding agent is Adhese Universal, a single-component, light-cured adhesive suitable for direct and indirect bonding procedures.

Application of Tetric PowerFill:

• Apply Tetric PowerFill in increments of up to 4 mm and adapt it to the cavity walls.
• Ensure sufficient exposure to the curing light for complete polymerization.

Finishing/Checking the Occlusion/Polishing:

• After polymerization, remove excess material with suitable finishers or fine diamonds.
• Check occlusion and articulation.
• Make appropriate grinding corrections to prevent premature contacts or undesired articulation paths.
• Polish the restoration to a high gloss using silicone polishers, polishing discs, and polishing strips.
