Kuraray America PANAVIA SA CEMENT Resin Cement PANAVIA SA CEMENT is a self-adhesive, self-etch, fluoride-releasing dual-cure resin cement available in automix or hand-mix. A dentist from Westwood, NJ, summed up his evaluation with the PANAVIA SA CEMENT by saying, “The combination of both a fl uoridereleasing glass ionomer coupled with resin adhesion seem to make this a perfect cement.” Combining the features of glass ionomers with the benefi ts of resin cement, Kuraray America’s PANAVIA SA CEMENT provides good marginal sealing with consistent bond strength, even to over-dry and wet dentin/ enamel. This material is indicated for cementing crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays made of zirconia, porcelain*, composite resin or metal, metal cores, resin cores, metal posts, and glass-fi ber posts. Thirteen dentists evaluated the PANAVIA SA CEMENT Automix resin cement for this Dental Product Shopper evaluation, rating and commenting on features such as bond strength, handling and working time, postoperative sensitivity, ease of cleanup, and overall satisfaction with the product.

Kuraray’s CLEARFIL Universal Bond Quick is a singlebottle, fluoride-releasing, universal adhesive with MDP and AMIDE-based chemistry that provides unique RAPID BOND TECHNOLOGY. The AMIDE monomer quickly permeates dentin and enamel, which eliminates waiting time and reduces water absorption. It also reduces technique sensitivity and application time without compromising bond strengths, sealing, or desensitizing. CLEARFIL Universal Bond Quick is indicated for use with all etching techniques and light-, self- or dual-cure materials. CLEARFIL Universal Bond Quick offers practice versatility because it directly bonds to dentin, enamel, metals, zirconia, and lithium disilicate restorative materials

CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick 2 includes the original MDP combined with unique AMIDE and new UTM monomers, that forms a thin, strong adhesive layer with no waiting time, resulting in Advanced Rapid Bond Technology. This combination improves the strength of the bonding layer, aimed at gaining reliability for one-step bonding and no refrigeration required for storage.
