Detailed Specs & Benefits of CLEARFIL™ PHOTO CORE
CLEARFIL™ PHOTO CORE
Fast, Strong & Efficient Core Build-Ups CLEARFIL™ PHOTO CORE is a light-cure composite core build-up material designed for speed and strength. Paired with CLEARFIL™ SE BOND, it offers excellent dentin adhesion (37.4 MPa) for secure post and core restorations. A deep depth of cure — up to 9.5 mm — enables single-increment placement, eliminating time-consuming layering. Smooth handling and easy sculptability ensure ideal shaping before light-curing locks in the final form. Strength and speed — all in one step.
Features & Benefits
Fast Depth of Cure – 9.5mm in 10 Seconds
Eliminates the need for layering—achieve strong, deep cures quickly with standard LED or plasma arc lights.
Strong, Immediate Bond
Delivers high tensile and compressive bond strength, with 37.4 MPa when used with CLEARFIL™ SE BOND.
No Mixing or Matrix Bands Needed
Simplifies procedures with direct syringe or PLT delivery—no pre-mixing or accessories required.
Cuts Like Dentin
Effortlessly shapes and trims like natural dentin, making preparation and crown placement smoother.
Non-Sticky & Easy to Place
Won’t stick to instruments and maintains sculptability for ideal core formation.
Available in Syringe and PLT Forms
Offers delivery options to fit various workflows—choose traditional syringe or PLT for pre-measured convenience.

Clinical Protocols
Use with CLEARFIL™ SE BOND or Panavia F 2.0 depending on whether tooth is vital or non-vital.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is CLEARFIL™ Photo Core?
Photo Core is a micro-hybrid, light-cure composite build-up material with a unique 8mm depth of cure.
What is the compressive strength of CLEARFIL™ Photo Core?
The compressive strength of CLEARFIL™ Photo Core is approximately 330 MPa.
Is CLEARFIL™ Photo Core radiopaque?
Yes, CLEARFIL™ Photo Core is radiopaque.
Since it is light-cure, does Photo Core have to be layered and incrementally cured?
No. CLEARFIL™ Photo Core has a unique 8mm depth of cure and this eliminates layering and multiple curing. It cures 5.5 mm in 20 seconds, 7.0 mm in 40 seconds and 8 mm in 60 seconds with conventional halogen units.
Does CLEARFIL™ Photo Core require the use of tofflemire, matrix band or a copper band for placement?
No. CLEARFIL™ Photo Core eliminates the need for copper bands, as well as the need to use a tofflemire with matrix bands.
