When performing core buildups, some clinicians opt to use composite materials. However, thanks to advancements in dental bonding and many years of research and development, today’s clinicians also have the option to reach for specialized restorative materials tailored with this exact procedure in mind.
“We believe in products that are specifically designed for certain clinical applications,” said Dr. Rolando Nuñez, BISCO’s Manager of Clinical Marketing. “If you’re going to do a core buildup, you should use a core build-up material.”
With that, Core-Flo DC and Core-Flo DC Lite offer clinicians both packable and flowable composite core materials to enable predictable, efficient restorative treatments —especially in cases involving endodontically treated teeth.
Strong and Simple Buildups
Ideal for core buildup, post cementation, and dentin replacement, Core-Flo DC and Core-Flo DC Lite provide excellent compressive and flexural strength across direct and indirect restorations while affording a simplified technique to cement a post and build up the core in a single application.
“I have been using Core-Flo DC since it was introduced, and it has given me no reason to look elsewhere for another composite core material,” assured Dr. Chet Klos. He appreciates the material’s automix dual-syringe dispenser and angled tip for simplified delivery as well as its dual-cure chemistry, which alleviates concerns about full polymerization.
Versatility with 2 Viscosities
Both materials offer the same benefits and perform the same function, allowing clinicians to choose between the 2 based on their individual preferences. Core-Flo DC maintains optimal flowability without dripping or slumping, while Core-Flo DC Lite has a self-leveling viscosity for excellent adaptation and gap-free margins.
With easy preparation, low shrinkage, and high radiopacity, Core-Flo DC and Core-Flo DC Lite also provide efficient working and setting times with strong bonds to dentin and fiber posts. They are available in Natural/A1 and Opaque White shades.
“Core-Flo DC has never given me any problems with gouging and always maintains smooth margins at the restorative interface,” Dr. Kevin Anderson said. “To this day, I have not had any sensitivity, debonds, bond failures, or discolored restorations with cores or indirect restorations completed with Core-Flo DC.”
