2-in-1 adhesive cementation and core buildup material streamlines workflows and provides beautiful, long-lasting restorations
When luxury cosmetic dentist Dr. Neal Patel first heard about Visalys CemCore from Kettenbach, he knew he had to have it. It’s the only product indicated to serve as both a core buildup material and an adhesive resin cement, he said, which fills a critical gap in dentistry.
Dr. Patel, founder of Infinite Smiles in Powell, OH, had been looking for such a product for quite a while, and was among its early adopters. Six years later, the 2-in-1 Visalys CemCore is his go-to for everything from inlays and onlays to full-coverage crowns and bridges.
“When a restoration fails, the opportunity to reseat that restoration is limited based on what’s available from a product standpoint,” he said. “This serves as both a buildup material and an adhesive, allowing me to save a restoration that otherwise would need to be redone at my expense.”
Visalys CemCore, he said, serves as an “incredible tool” when patients dislodge an existing restoration and the core buildup comes off with the crown.
“When you remove the core buildup, the crown fits loosely on the tooth, presenting challenges,” Dr. Patel said. “How do you fix that and allow the patient to leave with a crown? This product fills that gap, providing the core buildup as well as the adhesive necessary to retain the restoration.”
It also simplifies his seating appointments. Because Visalys CemCore is used for everything, there’s never any confusion about which adhesive to use or how to use it, effectively streamlining the workflow.
Unmatched Color Stability
As a cosmetic dentist, Dr. Patel needs an adhesive that’s forgiving from a color stability standpoint. The cementation process can impact the esthetics of the final restoration, he said, and it’s frustrating for patient and clinician when the adhesive alters the color. Visalys CemCore not only has good adhesive properties; it’s color stable and comes in 5 shades.
“It’s not typical to refire ceramic while the patient is in the chair to change the color,” Dr. Patel said, “but just a quick tweak in the color of this adhesive can make a big impact on the final outcome.”
Beautiful, Strong Restorations
Visalys CemCore can be used universally across different cementation protocols, Dr. Patel said, and it’s easy to clean up. Other adhesives are much more difficult to clean, which can be traumatic to the tissue as well as the patient. This material provides a better patient experience and less postop sensitivity.
"It’s a phenomenal product for the price point, and it’s unique,” Dr. Patel said. “It’s ease of use, convenience, and outcomes have trumped everything else I’ve tried. Most importantly, it’s clinically proven to be effective and strong for a good long-term solution.”
