In direct restorative dentistry, there is a strong trend towards faster, more efficient placement techniques for resin composite restorations. Additionally, dentists are demanding composite materials that allow a simple, yet predictable application in the daily practice. With Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill it is now possible for the clinician to restore posterior teeth in a much more efficient, yet esthetically pleasing way. Due to the 4-mm bulk application and the 10-s light polymerization the total treatment time can be significantly reduced without compromising the overall quality of the final restoration.
