Core.it ®

Consultants’ Comments

• “It performed well – good flowability, stackability and it did not slump.”“The “white” and “blue” are easy to distinguish. It’s easy to gauge when shaping.”
• “I was able to cut close to pins without any fracturing of the material.”
• “The cured finish prior to trimming seems quite smooth and dense – a pleasure to use.”
• “Simple to use and it appears to have a lower contact angle than other core materials.”
• “One of the best materials I have ever used. The kit had everything.”
• “The intraoral tip was a little big for some spaces – a smaller, longer one would be useful.”
• “We had to cure in layers. I didn’t like that the adhesive is a 2-step.”
• “Beautiful handling properties, just the right viscosity.  Adapts well to undercuts.”

Clinical Tips

• Take your time when placing this material and use even, slow pressure.
• Try the blue color. It’s great if the tooth ever needs a root canal retreat or crown replacement. The endodontist will thank you! Just don’t use it under an IPS e.max crown, the color will show.
• We used it for conventional cores and emergency “build-up and recementing” of crowns and bridges when patients couldn’t afford or stay for definitive treatment – very impressive.
• Give it an extra minute to start cutting it after curing this material.
• Dispensing gun is available for easier extrusion.
• Endo mixing tips are available for smaller spaces.

Evaluation Highlights

• Core.it was evaluated by 30 consultants, and used 448 times in total.

Unique Features

• Three different shades (yellow (tooth), blue, white)
• Sets hard, cuts like dentin.
• High bond strength to enamel, dentin and posts.
• Medium viscosity allows for maximum control during application, and stackability.

Indications

• Core build-ups
