Itena Dentocore Core Build Up And Post Cementation Composite Material

Itena Dentocore Core Build-Up and Post Cementation Composite Material

Itena Dentocore is a dual-cure composite material specifically developed for core build-up and post cementation procedures. Its optimized viscosity is neither too thick nor too fluid, allowing easy handling, precise placement, and excellent adaptation to cavity walls.

Thanks to its dual polymerization mechanism (self-curing and light-curing), Dentocore ensures complete curing even in areas inaccessible to LED curing light. The material’s rubbery phase allows easy removal of excess material, contributing to clean margins and durable, long-term restorations.

Advantages

• Dual polymerization (self- and light-curing) ensures complete curing in inaccessible areas
• Rubbery phase allows easy removal of excess material
• Enhanced mechanical properties compared to conventional Bis-GMA composites
• Low polymerization shrinkage for improved marginal adaptation
• Excellent compressive strength for long-lasting restorations
• Fluoride release strengthens natural tooth structure and helps prevent secondary caries
• Radiopaque for easy radiographic identification
• Supplied with three types of Automix syringe tips: extra-fine, intra-oral, and fine flexible colibri tips
