II
The dual-curing luting composite Variolink II has been used for more
than ten years and in over 20 million restorations. It is the world's
leading highly aesthetic material concept. Numerous awards as the
best product in the category of adhesive luting composites and
excellent results from clinical long-term studies are testimony to this
success.
Variolink
®
Veneer
Purely light-curing luting composite in 7 "Value" shades for the
adhesive cementation of translucent all-ceramic restorations with a
layer thickness of < 2.0 mm (veneers, inlays, onlays).
Multilink
®
Automix
The universal, self-curing (with light-curing option) resin based luting
cement Multilink offers a broad range of indications and produces
very high adhesive strength on all material surfaces. Together with
the self-etching Primer, which is applied as a simple preliminary layer
on enamel and dentin, Multilink is processed quickly and efficiently.
Cementation
For cementation, the IPS Empress Esthetic restoration must be conditioned. For this
purpose, the completed restoration is etched with IPS Ceramic Etching Gel and
subsequently silanated using Monobond-S.
Total Etch
For the preparation of adhesive cementation with Variolink II/
Variolink Veneer, Total Etch is used. It is an enamel etching and dentin
conditioning gel used during the adhesive cementation of all-ceramic
restorations.
For the adhesive cementation of IPS Empress Esthetic restorations, you may choose
between tried-and-tested luting composites from Ivoclar Vivadent. Adhesive
cementation achieves an excellent bond between the preparation and the restoration.
