Core-It Dual Blue: Dual-Cure Composite Cement for Post Cementation and Core Build-up
Enhanced Description
Core-It Dual Blue is a superior dual-cure composite cement designed for permanent fixation of posts and core build-up in vital and non-vital teeth. This innovative material offers a user-friendly dual-syringe system for automatic mixing, allowing for direct application into the prepared cavity. Its excellent adaptability ensures a precise and seamless fit.
Key Benefits
- Exceptional Adhesion: Provides superior bond strength to both fiberglass and metal posts.
- Biocompatible Formula: Contains fluoride, promoting the regeneration of remaining tooth tissues.
- Ease of Use: The dual-syringe system eliminates the need for manual mixing, simplifying the procedure.
- High Strength & Low Shrinkage: Boasts impressive compressive strength (297 MPa) and minimal polymerization shrinkage (less than 1.5%), ensuring lasting stability under crown restorations.
- Versatile Application: Machinable like dentin post-polymerization, maintaining its homogeneity. Suitable for core build-up and post cementation in both vital and non-vital teeth.
- Radiopaque: Easily visible on radiographic images for accurate placement and monitoring.
- Rapid Setting: Offers a fast working time and quick setting for efficient procedures.
- Available Shades: Choose from blue, yellow (tooth-colored), and white to match a wide range of clinical needs.
- Analogous to LuxaCore Z Dual (DMG): Offers a comparable performance to a leading competitor.

Instructions for Use
- Prepare the post space.
- Thoroughly rinse and dry the canal with air and paper points.
- Apply bonding agent (e.g., EsBond + EsBond Activator) to the prepared surface. Air dry for 20 seconds and light cure for 20 seconds.
- Treat the post with a silane coupling agent (e.g., EsBond + EsBond Activator). Air dry for 20 seconds and light cure for 20 seconds.
- Introduce Core-It Dual into the prepared post space.
- Insert the post and light cure for 10 seconds.
- Build up the core using Core-It Dual. Light cure each surface for 20 seconds.
- Full self-curing (without additional polymerization) occurs after 5 minutes.
Storage
Store in a dry place.
