Device Story
Opallis and Opallis Flow are light-curing, radiopaque, resin-based restorative materials. Opallis is a sculptable composite; Opallis Flow is a low-viscosity fluid counterpart. Used by dentists in clinical settings for direct restorations, veneers, core build-ups, and cavity lining. Materials are applied in increments (1.5-2mm) and cured using a dental light-curing unit (≥450-500mW/cm2, 400-500nm). The device provides aesthetic restoration of tooth structure, mimicking natural tooth properties (fluorescence/opalescence). Benefits include structural repair, cavity sealing, and aesthetic improvement of teeth. Output is a hardened, tooth-colored restorative material that restores function and appearance.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated against ISO 4049 standards including flexural strength, depth of cure, color stability, water sorption, solubility, and radiopacity. Biocompatibility assessed per ISO 10993-1, including cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, and genotoxicity testing using pooled samples (Orthocem UV Trace, Opallis, Vittra APS). Results confirm compliance with all specified thresholds.
Technological Characteristics
Light-curing, radiopaque, polymer-based restorative resin. Supplied in syringes or capsules. Complies with ISO 4049 (restorative materials) and ISO 10993 (biocompatibility). Requires light-curing unit (400-500nm). Storage 5-30°C. Shelf life 3 years. Non-reusable.
Indications for Use
Indicated for direct restorations in permanent and deciduous teeth (Classes I-VI), direct veneers, core build-ups, splinting, diastema closure, and tooth shape modification. Flowable version indicated for base/lining, small non-occlusal Class I restorations, pit/fissure sealing, tunnel preparations, enamel defect repair, and non-carious cervical lesions. No specific age or gender contraindications noted.

## Opallis X Tetric Evoceram
Opallis and Tetric Evoceram are composite resins indicated for direct restorative procedures on deciduous and permanent teeth. The range of clinical situations in which direct composites can be indicated is very wide. In additional indications for restoring cavities, direct veneers with composites, core build-ups, diastema closing or reduction, modification of teeth 's shape (e.q.; conoid teeth), repair of small defects of the enamel, repair of porcelain or composite and build-ups for transparent, removable Invisalign® orthodontic retainers are examples of direct restoration (according to the Indications for use available in the manufacturer's website). As well as the use of dental splinting technique in cases of trauma and periodontal diseases. As a conclusion, the subject and the same indication for use.
### Opallis Flow X Tetric Evoflow
Low viscosity light cured materials such as Opallis Flow and Tetric Evollow are suitable for various indications such as: Base /lining, restorations made under other restorative material likewise an initial layer in all type of cavity. This main indication has as examples: Tunnel-type, planning of preparation walls.
Small restorations of all types and Small, non-occlusal strestorations according to minimally invasive filling therapy: restorations made in receive direct masticatory load. These following indications are related to this definition: Pit and fissure sealant. Repair of enaments. Repair in composite resin. Non-carious cervical lesions, Class V restorations (cervical caries, root erosion, wedge-shaped defects), blocking out of undercuts. Even though there are minor differences between the indications for use of products Opallis Flow and Tetric Evoflow (since the Tetric Evollow, according to the Indications for use available in the manufacturer's website, is indicated for Splinting of mobile teeth and adhesive cementation of light-transmissive ind ceramic restorations) it can be concluded that both product have the same applicability.
Opallis is a condensable composite resin and Opallis Flow is its fluid counterpart for anterior restoration, such as Tetric Evoceram and Tetric Evoflow.
