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 and veneers)
- Only for restorations with a low material thickness of <2 mm and sufficient translucency (e.g. IPS e.max HT).
Features
- Excellent shade stability thanks to the patented and reactive light initiator Ivocerin which is 100% amine-free
- Balanced and straightforward Effect shade system
- Lifelike fluorescence
- Easy, precise excess removal
- Flexible, situational consistency – ideal combination of flowability and stability
- Impressive radiodiagnostics
Key Specifications

- Light Translucency approx. 10%
- Neutral Translucency approx. 17%
- Warm Translucency approx. 12%
Packaging
- 1 x 2g 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
