A current study has definitively shown that Visalys Core, the fluoride-containing, dual-cure, core build-up material from Kettenbach, closely resembles dentin (Maulana, Tengku Ibrahim. Grindability analysis of dental core build-up materials under clinically relevant test procedure. Journal of Medical Materials and Technologies, [S.l.], v. 1, n. 1, p. 1-26, may 2017. ISSN 2366-9136.). The study, carried out under clinical conditions at the University Hospital Tübingen, found that there is no significant difference between Visalys Core and dentin in terms of its mechanical properties and grindability. This feature is important to successful crown placement. If the mechanical properties of the core build-up materials are very similar to dentin, more precise and safer preparation is possible. Researchers used a new testing system that was developed to replicate the contact pressure applied during tooth preparation in the dental operatory.
Visalys Core is a radiopaque, two-component dual-curing material that features the unique “Active-Connect-Technology” (ACT) designed for core build-ups and luting root posts. Its flowability allows it to be easily dispensed into cavities, yet it is stable and easy to model with or without matrices. ACT provides a reliable adhesive bond with the most common light-curing and dual-curing, single-step and multi-step adhesives, without the need for an additional activator. So clinicians can use Visalys Core with their preferred adhesive. Its dual-curing property saves time, and dependably provides high stability, good compressive strength, and excellent polishability. Visalys Core also is free of Bisphenol A or its derivatives.
Available in dentin and white shades, Visalys Core comes in 5 mL double styringes and 25 mL cartridges.
