Start with CLEARFIL Universal Bond Quick 2 and pair with universal composites, cements, and core buildup for exceptional results
No Gaps or Bubbles
After applying CLEARFIL Universal Bond Quick 2, it’s time to choose material No. 2. For core buildups, turn to Kuraray Noritake Dental’s newest DPS Best Product, CLEARFIL DC CORE PLUS—a 2-step, dual-curing material with a controlled flow during placement, which reduces or eliminates the need for a matrix band.
“The material I was using would slump and often leave gaps or bubbles,” said Irving Lebovics, DDS. “I didn’t have that experience with DC CORE PLUS—it had no gaps or bubbles and didn’t slump, and I used it with posts on various teeth in different parts of the mouth.”
With a filler loading of 74%, CLEARFIL DC CORE PLUS provides superior flexural and compressive strength.
“CLEARFIL Universal Bond Quick 2 will penetrate into the dentin tubules and pull back on DC CORE PLUS to keep it from contracting away from the dentin,” Dr. Mokbel assured. “The 2 materials acting in synergy improves the retention of DC CORE PLUS.”
Strength and Flowability
CLEARFIL chemistry also expands into the composite world, where products like CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES Flow Universal offer clinicians the best of both worlds—the viscosity of a flowable and the strength and single-shade esthetics of a packable.
“Many dentists dread the subgingival Class II composite restoration, and CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES Flow Universal provides a predictable outcome in these difficult circumstances,” Dr. Karen Guo pointed out. “It is particularly useful in restorations where the gingival floor extends well below the margin. It flows into the corners of the prep and can be used with a modified closed sandwich and snowplow technique to achieve clinically and radiographically exceptional results."
Good Things Come in 3s
If cementation is on the schedule, the powerful PANAVIA family of cements offers a trio of solutions.
“PANAVIA comes in 3 variations: a full-on bonded cement, a simple self-curing cement, and a veneer cement,” Dr. Todd Sarubin explained. “All 3 cements handle the same way, but you can choose which one you need for your specific situation.”
PANAVIA SA Cement Universal creates a strong chemical bond to enamel, dentin, metal alloy, and zirconia, while a unique LCSi monomer facilitates a strong chemical bond to porcelain, lithium disilicate, and composite resin.
Choose the light-curing, color-stable PANAVIA Veneer LC to tackle veneer cementation, or PANAVIA V5 for optimal esthetics—even in delicate scenarios.
"In my experience,” Dr. Sarubin continued, "PANAVIA cements are easy to clean up, well-bonded, radiopaque, and very strong."
