I was quite pleased to see how this material stacks up when shaping the core, without any slumping. This made for more precise placement of the material.
Restorative Cement/Composite
Corecem™ A1 & Illusion®
- Functions as BOTH a resin cement (with bonding agent) and core build-up.
- Ideal handling properties, does not slump
- Perfect for cementation of all fiber posts
- Cuts like dentin
- Easy to use and esthetic. Blue color identifies margins, and disappears at body temperature.
- High strength and radiopacity
More information
Corecem is a dual-cure flowable hybrid composite for cementation of fiber posts and core build-ups (with or without a post). Using the same material for both technique steps saves time, materials, eliminates one adhesive interface to facilitate a durable “monobloc” restoration.
Corecem is available in VITA®Shade A1, and has all of the mechanical properties needed with superior radiopacity. Utilizing dispersed NANO-particles of Ytterbium Trifluoride in a bubble-free resin matrix, CORECEM has superior radiopacity to other popular cements and core materials, for better diagnostics. Using the same material for both technique steps saves time, materials, eliminates one adhesive interface to facilitate a durable “monobloc” restoration.
Despite dual cure capacity, high depth of cure is important in post cementation, to stabilize the post, expedite the technique, and is especially useful when using a chemically compatible light-cured bonding resin.
Testimonials
Christian Decloquement, Former Assistant of University of Paris VII, France
Corecem is really very easy to manipulate. Its perfect viscosity allows a completely homogeneous reconstruction, and the hardness and surface make the shaping of the core build-up to receive the final crown easier.
