Contradictory No More: One Composite Handles 3 Needs

achieve an ideal aesthetic outcome with Visalys® CemCore

Visalys CemCore Starter PackThe new Visalys CemCore system is proof that dental product research can continue to produce unexpected, even seemingly impossible results. The new Kettenbach system unites three products—a composite cement, tooth primer and restorative primer—despite their contradictory needs.

That’s right—depending on which of the three you need at the moment, the material can be used as a standalone or by mixing just a few components. This level of versatility is an achievement that wasn’t previously considered feasible because of the conflicting requirements for each process: Cementation composites need to be hydrophilic, whereas core build-up material needs to be hydrophobic and stable. However, Kettenbach’s groundbreaking, patented Active-Connect-Technology (ACT) brought these demands together—without compromising material quality.

ACT enables:
•Optimal mixing of the somewhat hydrophobic cementation composite with the hydrophilic tooth primer on the damp tooth surface
•Low liquid absorption that ensures a high degree of dimensional stability in the core build-up. That stability reduces fracture risk in the final restoration.
•Pressure-responsivity. For a more flowable product, apply gentle pressure. Release the pressure, and the material reverts to its firm consistency.

The tooth primer can be used as a standalone component and can be applied directly to dentine or enamel. The restorative primer can be used as pre-treatment on all restoration surfaces. In both forms, the material will provide the powerful adhesion you need.

Visalys CemCore comes in a convenient 5ml dual chambered syringe and is available in five colors: Universal (A2/A3), Translucent, Bleach, Opaque and Dark (A4). The color choices give you the flexibility to achieve an ideal aesthetic outcome; however, should the restoration color demand specialized resources, additional color-matched try-in pastes are available.
