Features

No increments needed with CORE FORMS
Esthetic transparent shade
Cutting like dentin
Easy handling
Radiopaque
Non stick formulation

Description

CLEARFIL PHOTO CORE is a light-curing core build-up composite for the most demanding esthetic requirements. The material has a balanced filler share (83 wt%, 65 vol%) which has been specifically selected for the construction of dependable core build-ups. The material cures completely to a depth of 7 mm in just 40 seconds which is unique. Thus clinicians are able to simplify their procedure by eliminating copper bands and matrix bands and incremental layering, especially when using CORE FORMS. CLEARFIL PHOTO CORE cuts like dentin after curing, is radiopaque and does not stick to instruments during application thanks to its special formula. With a compressive strength of 334 MPa, CLEARFIL PHOTO CORE is ideal for small or large CORE FORMS on vital or devital teeth.

Directions For Use

Preparation of CLEARFIL PHOTO CORE
Dispense the necessary amount of the composite onto the paper pad by rotating the paste syringe plunger.After dispensing the composite, turn the plunger counter-clockwise a half-turn to prevent excess composite from oozing out.
Replace the syringe cap immediately to prevent premature setting of the composite.
Placing CLEARFIL PHOTO CORE into the cavity
Place the composite into the cavity preparation using hand instruments. It is recommended that transparent matrix strips be used to help form the core.
Curing
Cure the composite with a dental curing unit. Hold the emitting tip as close to the composite as possible. The light curing time and depth of cure for each dental curing unit is used is shown below.
