Three unique adhesive technologies enable clinicians to now use an integrated system of materials for virtually all direct and indirect restorations in dentistry with a single universal adhesive, CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick. The original MDP adhesive monomer, the new LCSi silane monomer & strong, catalysts provide clinicians the ability to use a universal adhesive cement, a direct universal composite, and a strong dual-cure core material for the majority of their daily restorative procedures. The CLEARFIL™ PANAVIA™ Universal Restorative System provides the most simplified procedures with the most proven adhesive technologies in dentistry without compromising clinical efficacy.
Cementation of Indirect Restorations
All indirect restorations may be cemented without the need for separate silane, zirconia or metal primers. Restorations made of glass-ceramics (lithium disilicate), zirconia (KATANA™ etc….), metals or composite are indicated with PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal. With its new MDP/LCSi dual-monomer technology, bond directly to any glass, zirconia, metal or composite without a separate primer. It also provides direct bonding to dentin and enamel. If additional bond strength is needed for less retentive restorations, PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal may be used with CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick. The unique, catalyst chemistry of these two materials were developed together and provide very strong, self-cure bond strengths.
Direct Composite Restorations with LD Technology
The seamless blending of direct composites with tooth structure has been improved with the addition of Light Diffusion Technology in the CLEARFIL™ MAJESTY™ composites since 2007. Now with the introduction of the new MAJESTY™ ES-2 Universal shade, you can now blend more easily with most posterior restorations using one shade. This Intelligent Simplification of direct posterior composites enables clinician’s to reduce their inventory of composites and simplify their procedures. Even more simplification is possible when CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick is utilized as the adhesive. CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick provides a quick application without waiting time or multiple applications, and without compromising bond strengths1, sealing or desensitizing due to its unique AMIDE monomer.
Crown Build-Ups & Post & Cores
All crown build-up & post and core cementations may be done with CLEARFIL™ DC CORE Plus and CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick. The unique catalyst chemistry between these materials provides an extremely strong and well-sealed post & core restoration. In a study from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry2, the combination of light-cured CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick & self-cured CLEARFIL™ DC CORE Plus provided the strongest post & core system when compared to 8 other popular systems in dentistry.
…”CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick with CLEARFIL™ DC Core Plus showed highest average shear forces as well as highest individual pull-out forces.”
