Versatile 2-in-1 cementation and core buildup material simplifies procedures, offers high stability, and creates a permanently strong adhesive bond,
Dr. Hemali Ajmera has found that Kettenbach’s Visalys CemCore is a 2-in-1 solution for the successful, long-term cementation of all restorations, as well as core buildups. Here, Dr. Ajmera shares how the dual-curing, adhesive restorative material gives her confidence that she can restore with greater ease… regardless of how the patient presents.,Inherited dentistry is common in our industry, more often than not presenting with countless surprises that require us to have at our perusal a versatile, user-friendly cementation solution that is built to last. Whether you remove a single-unit crown or a long-span bridge, prosthetic restorations may require a simple cement or demand a complex core buildup, as well, depending on the amount of ferrule present. Esthetically, an anterior challenge will require a neutral or lighter hue, while more robust posterior teeth that require strength will need varying working times for layering to create anatomical retentive form.,Look no further than Visalys CemCore, a unique product with a working time that is ideal for cementing a post and creating a well-engineered core buildup. The nature of dentistry we are seeing more of today tends to be a combination of implants, natural tooth structure, and pre-existing post-and-core buildups, so using a versatile product like Visalys CemCore gives me confidence that I can manage any type of situation.,A common industry challenge is sufficient natural tooth structure in a compromised anterior tooth, where even implant placement and final esthetics are a problem due to gingival contours and heights. It is in our best interest to use a product that can serve as a base material or the final restorative material, allowing it to replace many of the different material systems you may have in your office. The 5 shade options work well in most situations, and the try-in pastes can be used to see which shades will work with the final restoration.,A core buildup material needs to be easy to shape into the base of a beautiful crown or veneer, and this material offers an elegant balance that allows for ample working time as it transitions from a gel-like consistency to solid—flowing into uneven areas as it firms into perfection. There will always be areas that can’t be light cured, so Visalys CemCore’s dual-cure and adhesive cementation properties are important.,I appreciate that Visalys CemCore includes both a tooth primer and a restorative primer. With Kettenbach’s Active Connect Technology, you can be confident that everything is compatible—regardless of whether the material is hydrophobic or hydrophilic. Many times, we’re not sure if the chemistries of the products we use will be cohesive. Visalys CemCore gives us peace of mind that they will be compatible.,It also has proven to be effective for long-term strength and esthetics among my patients.,Dr. Ajmera received her dental degree from New York University’s College of Dentistry in 2008. At her practice in Woodside, Queens, NY, she offers a host of services, including restorations like crowns and bridges, as well as teeth whitening and discreet orthodontic options like Invisalign. She has made appearances on NY1, Fox News, and Dr. Oz as a spokesperson for the Queens County Dental Society and New York State Dental Association, as well as to promote the American Dental Association.
