lithiumdisilicate restorations will have exceptional retentionand esthetics. The system—which in addition to thelight-cured and dual-cured cements includes PorcelainPrimer, ALL-BOND UNIVERSAL, 4% PorcelainEtchant, and Select HV Etch w/BAC—can also beused to cement restorations including veneers, inlays,onlays, crowns, 3-unit bridges, CAD/CAM blocks, andpressable ingots made of lithium disilicate.“Overall, this is an excellent system. It includeseverything you need to bond in a lithiumdisilicate restoration, including microbrushes,mixing wells, and all syringe tips Having all ofthese trusted products in one kit saves time andmoney in our practice. Nothing is wasted andwe are assured a good result for our patients.”David Hornbrook,DDS, FAACD, FACE, FASDAUnique Benefits Universal and versatile Easy removal of excess cement Low film thickness Multiple shades of light-cured cement Exceptional physical properties RadiopaqueP3

combination gives the primer a synergisticeffect that contributes to significantly higherbond strengths than any other surface primeron the market.Working In UnisonDr. Acierno started practicing dentistry witha simple goal in mind: To provide every typeof patient with the comprehensive care theydeserve. A typical day at the office will bringhim a healthy mix of traditional restorativedentistry, root canals and extractions, estheticprocedures, and everything in between. Butmaintaining a busy practice that caters toa variety of needs calls for a reliable set ofsolutions that work well together, are simpleto use, and promise predictable results.“It doesn’t matter if you are the CEO ofa company or a laborer—I believe everyindividual deserves great care,” Dr. Aciernoshared. “For the past 18 years, I have usedCASE SPOTLIGHTA patient who hadn’t see adentist in some time came incomplaining of pain in the lowerleft quadrant. An exam revealed aAlan J. fractured lingual cusp and decayAcierno, on tooth No. 19. The tooth couldDDS be saved, but would require aroot canal, post and buildup,and a crown.After performing a root canal on thetooth, I prepped the canal for a fiber post.ALL-BOND UNIVERSAL was used tobond, and CORE-FLO DC was used forthe buildup. The tooth was then preppedand an impression was taken. I know thesematerials will provide an excellent, long-lastingfoundation for a crown for this patient forCORE-FLO DCZirClean years to come, and when this patient returnsin a couple of weeks for a zirconia crown,I will use ZirClean to clean the internalsurface of the crown following try-in, andcement with TheraCem.When you really break down this processand think of all the steps and materialsneeded, it is really remarkable how importantit is that all these products work in unison.These products truly are the workhorses ofmy practice, and I use them on a daily basis.EVALUATION SNAPSHOTTheraCem A dual-cured, calcium- and fluoride-releasing,self-adhesive resin cement, TheraCem offersthe clinician reliable and durable cementationof indirect restorations. TheraCem is indicatedfor luting crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays,and posts (prefabricated metal, nonmetal,or fiber posts). It delivers a strong bond tozirconia and most substrates with no primingor etching required. The highly opaquematerial is easy to identify on radiographsfor quick and effective diagnosis. AnotherUnique Benefitsadvantage is easy cleanup, as TheraCem isspecially formulated to allow for quick andeasy removal of the cement.“One of the reasons we use TheraCem is because it’s simple to use. It is self-etching,allows for dual tack cure, and delivers an incredibly strong bond to nearly all substrates—from zirconia to metal to resin—in addition to all types of endodontic posts.”Sheri B. Doniger, DDSP4 Continuous calcium and fluoride release1 Transitions from acidic to alkaline pHin minutes2 Specially formulated to allow for quickand easy cleanup A high degree of conversion en om clinicians on what is and isn’t working forthem in their practices. This feedback, whichBISCO extracts from surveys, meetings andtrade shows, interviews, focus groups, and onsite visits, is funneled right back into developingproblem-solving products.“The information that we collect from cliniciansis very important to us,” explained Dr. Chen.“We use it to set up product specifications anddetermine design input when we start a newproduct development project.”BISCO has an ongoing commitment to developproducts that lead to simple yet innovativesolutions—and greater predictability—forclinicians practicing everyday dentistry.At the end of the day, it really is all about thechemistry, which is explained best by BISCO’sfounder, Dr. Suh, himself: “We need to makeevery effort to educate the new dentist as to whythe chemistry is so important, and that we atBISCO have significant expertise in this area.”References1.

In addition, theclinician can cement the post and build upthe core. CORE-FLO DC Lite is availablein Natural/A1 and Opaque White shades.The working time is 1 minute and the settingtime is 7 minutes at room temperature.“This lower-viscosity version of the original CORE-FLO DC extrudes easily andflows so nicely that I can bond in a post and do the build-up with it, ultimatelysaving chair time. CORE-FLO DC Lite’s self-leveling viscosity allows it to adaptwell, eliminating the risk of marginal gaps. This is so important when replacingdentin with a core build-up.”Ron Kaminer, DDSUnique Benefits Self-leveling dual-cured core material Superior handling characteristics whenbuilding up the core Easy to prepare—cuts like dentin Low-shrinkage properties as a dentinreplacement material High compressive and flexural strengthsoffer the clinician reliability and durabilitywhen fabricating direct restorations High shear bond strength to dentin, enamel,and fiber posts The CORE-FLO DC Lite intro kit isavailable with UNIVERSAL PRIMER, alow-film thickness, dual-cured adhesive/primer designed for the dentist who prefersnot to light cure the adhesive layer underindirect restorationsP7
