The Tetric Line includes 4-millimeter composites Tetric PowerFill and Tetric PowerFlow, known for their lifelike esthetic properties and reliable curing behavior, as well as universal composites Tetric EvoFlow and Tetric Prime.
• OptraSculpt®: Designed for non-stick shaping and contouring of composite resin, these instruments ensure effortless composite contouring.
