Light-cured Core Build-Up Composite

Light-Core is a light-cured core build-up composite. Sculptable and non-slumping, it provides optimal handling. Light-Core has a 5mm depth of cure* at 500 mW/cm². Light-Core is available in two shades: Translucent and Blue. Translucent is ideal for use under aesthetic restorations, such as all-ceramic crowns, inlays and onlays. Blue is ideal for use in conventional fixed restorations, such as metal-based restorations (all-metal or PFM). Blue facilitates placement when a contrast to tooth structure is desired. This contrast ensures your margins will be placed on tooth structure where they belong. Choose from economical syringes or convenient unit-dose tips.

Unique Benefits

• Light-cured core material allows for immediate prepping after curing
• 5mm depth of cure* promotes quick build-ups
• Strong, fiber reinforced (7.8%) core material offers maximum strength for all core build-ups
• Non-slumping, sculptable material yields great handling and is easy to contour
• Radiopaque material is easily identified on radiographs

Clinical Significance

• Radiopaque Translucent shade is ideal for use under aesthetic restorations
• Radiopaque Blue shade facilitates ease of placement and is ideal for use when you need a contrasting color to confirm that your margins are on tooth structure. Recommended for use under metal-based restorations.

* Based on in-vitro studies, Light-Core has a 5mm depth of cure when cured from a distance of 0mm at an intensity of 500 mW/cm² for the following curing times:
