Modern composites
in tried-and-tested quality
The Tetric Line is comprised of four coordinated
composites for direct restorative treatment. It combines tried-and-tested quality with modern technology.
To date, more than 700 million restorations have been placed with Tetric throughout the world.[1] We invite you to rely on our tried-and-tested restorative materials that stand out because of their exceptional esthetics, proven quality and high level of efficiency.

Discover the Tetric Line
Because of the material’s distinctive chameleon effect and excellent handling properties, it is particularly suitable for rebuilding lost tooth structure in the highly visible anterior region. In most cases, you will need to apply only one shade-matched material to achieve a lifelike esthetic result.
Esthetics – Quality – Efficiency
- Natural shade blend due to the distinctive chameleon effect
- Universally applicable enamel shades for small defects and direct veneers
- Dentin shades showing low translucency for restoring large defects and fulfilling high esthetic expectations
- Prime handling properties: Easy to contour as a result of low stickiness, good spreadability and creamy consistency
- Excellent polishability for a lustrous surface
- Easy to distinguish on X-rays due to high radiopacity
How does natural shade blend work?
As a result of the special monomer and filler blend of our universal composites, the materials are capable of adapting their light-optical properties to those of the surrounding tooth structure.
Tetric EvoFlow is characterized by its distinctive chameleon effect and excellent handling properties. Tetric EvoFlow can be applied very precisely and is therefore suitable for creating minimally invasive anterior restorations and for use as a liner.
Esthetics – Quality – Efficiency
- Natural shade blend due to the distinctive chameleon effect
- Universally applicable enamel shades for small defects and cervical restorations
- Dentin shades featuring low translucency for concealing stains and for fulfilling demanding esthetic expectations
- Precise application due to thixotropic consistency
- Ideal complement as a liner in combination with Tetric Prime
- Easy to distinguish on X-rays due to high radiopacity
Tetric EvoFlow has a thixotropic consistency
It is flowable under pressure, yet it remains stable when handled. Therefore, it enables you to work with high precision. This characteristic allows the product to adapt closely in narrow and thinly tapering areas. The product remains in place where it has been applied.
How does natural shade blend work?
As a result of the special monomer and filler blend of our universal composites, the materials are capable of adapting their light-optical properties to those of the surrounding tooth structure.
The material is characterized by low shrinkage, optimum flexural strength and reliable depth of cure. Therefore, the clinical performance of Tetric PowerFlow is just as impressive as that of conventional composites. As a result of its excellent adaptation to cavity walls, the product is ideal for repairing deep cavities. We recommend using Tetric PowerFlow in combination with Tetric PowerFill. It can also be used together with Tetric Prime.
Esthetics – Quality – Efficiency
- True-to-nature esthetics for posterior restorations due to Ivocerin and Aessencio Technology
- Reliable curing of increments of up to 4 mm in thickness
- Low susceptibility to process-related air entrapment
- Excellent adaptation to cavity walls and fast volume replacement because of outstanding flow properties
- Short light exposure times from 3 seconds
- Effective combination with Tetric PowerFill and Tetric Prime
Patented light initiator Ivocerin[7, 8] and Aessencio Technology
Ivocerin ensures a reliable depth of cure of composite layers of up to 4 mm. The Aessencio Technology is responsible for gradually increasing the opacity of the initially translucent 4-mm composites during the light polymerization process. Ultimately, the materials attain the translucency levels of enamel and dentin and therefore assume a true-to-nature esthetic appearance.
Tetric PowerFill is characterized by reliable depth of cure[4, 9-13], low shrinkage[4, 12] and optimum flexural strength[12-14]. In short: The clinical performance of Tetric PowerFill[12, 15-17] is just as impressive and the results are just as esthetic[18, 19] as those achieved with conventional composites. The low stickiness[20, 21] of Tetric PowerFill facilitates the creation of anatomical structures.
Esthetics – Quality – Efficiency
- True-to-nature esthetics for posterior restorations due to Ivocerin[7, 8] and Aessencio Technology
- Excellent margin quality in combination with Adhese Universal[17]
- Reliable depth of cure of increments of up to 4 mm in thickness[4, 9-13]
- Low susceptibility to process-related air entrapments[22, 23]
- Easy creation of anatomical structures because of low stickeness[20, 21]
- Short light exposure times from 3 seconds[9, 10, 13]
- Effective combination with Tetric PowerFlow

Tetric PowerFill and Tetric PowerFlow will increase the efficiency of your workflow[6, 20, 24, 25] – whilst maintaining your customary high quality and esthetic standards. Your patients will be pleased, because shorter treatment times mean less stress and discomfort for them.
Streamlined treatment protocol
Since you can apply Tetric PowerFill and Tetric PowerFlow in increments of up to 4 mm, you will need to use fewer layers compared with conventional filling techniques.[9-11] Fewer increments means having to switch less between the composite, the modelling instrument and the light-curing device – whilst achieving the same quality of the treatment results compared with conventional layering techniques.
Light exposure times from 3 seconds
Modern curing lights such as Bluephase® PowerCure deliver up to 3000 mW/cm2. Consequently, the required polymerization time can be reduced to 3 seconds. Tetric PowerFill[10-13] and Tetric PowerFlow in layers of up to 4-mm thickness can be cured in only 3 seconds.
Save up to 51% on treatment time with the 3s PowerCure product system
Reduce your treatment time in the posterior region by up to 51%[6] and gain valuable time for yourself and your patients. Learn more
