Ivoclar Variolink N

Ivoclar Variolink N Intro Pack

Variolink N is a dual-cure and light-cure luting composite designed for the adhesive cementation of glass-ceramic, lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, and composite resin restorations. This esthetic luting resin from the N-Cement Collection is characterized by high radiopacity and a harmonious shade spectrum, ensuring excellent clinical and esthetic results.

The amine-reduced Variolink N LC cement delivers optimum esthetics, particularly in anterior restorations. As a solely light-cure material, it is ideal for very thin (< 2 mm) and highly translucent restorations. Variolink N LC is available in Clear, +1, and +2 shades.
