Cention® N is Ivoclar’s alternative to amalgam for Class I and Class II cavities. It outperforms glass ionomer cement, offering a strong, bioactive, and tooth-colored restoration. Cention® N combines natural esthetics, high flexural strength, and bioactive ion release – an advanced alternative to amalgam and superior to glass ionomer cement.
Features:
• Amalgam Alternative: Cention® N is a new filling material that belongs to the Alkasites (alkaline composite) group.
• Bioactive ion release—Patented alkaline filler enhances the release of hydroxide ions during acid attacks to help regulate pH value, preventing demineralization. The release of fluoride and calcium ions supports the remineralization of dental enamel.
• Simple to use; does not require a primer, varnish, or curing device.
Benefits:
• Natural esthetics—Cention® N is tooth-colored with a high translucency level of approximately 11%, blending naturally with the surrounding tooth structure while covering discolored dentin.
• High durability—Offers high flexural strength exceeding 100 MPa, providing high fracture resistance, making it suitable for stress-bearing Class I and II restorations. It ensures high marginal integrity when combined with an adhesive.
• Fast and easy application—Does not require a primer or varnish and does not necessarily need a curing device, saving up to seven working steps compared to conventional glass ionomer cements.
