Dentin-like durability, a stable, stackable viscosity, and dual-cure chemistry make EXACTA Core MFT perfect for fast, easy core buildups that support long-lasting crowns and bridges
What do restorative dentistry and home construction have in common? Like a house, any successful restoration needs a solid foundation. And in the absence of healthy tooth structure, a core buildup plays the part, providing crown and bridge restorations with proper support and retention. Core buildups also help preserve long-term tooth integrity and prevent complications like fractures, microleakage, and postop sensitivity.
Given the vital role core buildups play in restorative success, the materials used in the process carry considerable weight—quite literally—as they must withstand years of multidirectional forces.
The ideal core buildup material should have strength and durability comparable to dentin, while being easy to place, shape, and finish. One product that offers all the above is EXACTA Core MFT, an automix dual-cure composite designed for fast and easy core buildups in any procedure.
Exceptional Strength and Ease of Use
Thanks to the extra reinforcement of Micro Fiber Technology, EXACTA Core MFT delivers exceptionally high compressive strength and outstanding wear resistance, making it an optimal replacement for dentin. The material is likewise designed for simple, precise placement with no messy cleanup, benefits it owes to convenient automix cartridges and a stable viscosity.
According to Kenly, NC, practitioner Scott Turik, DDS, “EXACTA Core MFT is very easy to learn how to work with. It dispenses predictably, and it stacks, sets, carves, and holds well.”
Dependable Dual-Cure Chemistry
Because EXACTA Core MFT affords the ability to both self- and light-cure in as little as 20 seconds with a 4.2-mm depth of cure, it ensures consistent polymerization, even in deeper preparations where light typically can’t reach.
Dr. Turik, who also uses the company’s FRESH Bold Impression Material for a variety of impression-taking scenarios, as well as EXACTA Temp Xtra for provisional restorations, calls EXACTA Core MFT’s dual-cure chemistry an absolute “necessity” for any composite core buildup, explaining, “Whenever you’re going to cover a light-cure material, you need that assurance that curing will complete over time.” Since using EXACTA Core MFT, he has found that it provides a stable foundation for his indirect restorations, sharing, “I’ve had no failures due to this material.”
A Great Addition to Any Armamentarium
Beyond supporting strong core buildups and streamlined procedures, EXACTA Core MFT has several other features that enhance restorative treatment. One that “can’t be anything but a positive,” Dr. Turik said, is the inclusion of fluoride, which helps reduce the incidence of secondary caries after restoration. For easy x-ray detection, EXACTA Core MFT is radiopaque, and the product comes in 3 shades—A2, Blue, and Opaceous White—to complement a range of restorative materials and indications.
Finally, like all EXACTA Dental products, EXACTA Core MFT is competitively priced and backed a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. Overall, Dr. Turik expects that EXACTA Core MFT should meet any clinician’s standards for a quality core buildup material. “This is a good product at a good price point,” he affirmed. “EXACTA Core MFT has everything necessary to be a great addition to your supply list.”
