Amazingly simple esthetics!
Variolink Esthetic is an esthetic light- and dual-curing luting composite for the permanent cementation of demanding ceramic and composite restorations.
The cement is based on the esthetic luting composites Variolink II and Variolink Veneer, which have proven their worth in clinical use for many years.
Variolink Esthetic represents a new generation of luting composites featuring excellent esthetics and user-friendly processing.
Indication
- Permanent cementation of glass-ceramic, lithium disilicate glass-ceramic and composite restorations (inlays, onlays, partial crowns, crowns, bridges)
Composition
The monomer matrix of Variolink Esthetic is composed of urethane dimethacrylate and further methacrylate monomers. The inorganic fillers are ytterbium trifluoride and spheroid mixed oxide. Initiators, stabilizers and pigments are additional ingredients. The particle size is 0.04–0.2 μm. The mean particle size is 0.1 µm. The total volume of inorganic fillers is approx. 38%.
Shade
- Light Translucency approx. 10%
- Neutral Translucency approx. 17%
- Warm Translucency approx. 12%
Working time
The working and curing times depend on the ambient temperature. The following times apply as soon as Variolink Esthetic DC has been extruded from the automix syringe:
When used purely self-curing | Room temperature 23°C ± 1°C/ 73°F ± 2°F | Intraoral 37°C ± 1°C/ 99°F ± 2°F |
| Working time | approx. 5 min | approx. 2 min |
Setting time (incl. working time) | approx. 8 min | approx. 4 min |
Packaging
- 1 x 5gm Refill
Directions to Use
Step 1: Initial situation: tooth 36 with insufficient composite filling
Step 2: Preparation
Step 3: CAD image of e.max CAD-restoration
Step 4: Try-in of crystallized and characterized restoration using Variolink Esthetic Try-In paste (neutral)
Step 5: Etching of prepared dental surface with 37% phosphoric acid (Total Etch)
Step 6: Application of Adhese Universal using the VivaPen
Step 7: Pre-polymerization of excess material using quarter technique (distance max. 10mm, 2 sec. per quarter, Bluephase Style)
Step 8: Convenient removal of excess material with a scaler
Step 9: Application of glycerin gel (Liquid Strip) followed by final light curing in segments
Step 10: Final restoration after one week
