The innovative blue DC cannula [1] enables, for the first time, dual-cure applications directly from the unique VivaPen®. This innovation broadens the clinical use of the adhesive, specifically in situations where light access is limited [2].
Universally suitable for direct and indirect bonding procedures:
✓ Compatible with all etching protocols
✓ Suited for light-cure and dual-cure [2] applications – offering more flexibility and reliability, even in cases with limited light access
✓ Consistent high bond strength (> 25 MPa) on dentin and enamel [4]
✓ Integrated desensitizing effect for minimizing the risk of postoperative sensitivities
✓ Free of Bis-GMA
✓ Efficient and cost-effective VivaPen: up to four times more applications per ml compared with conventional bottles [5, 6]
[1] DC = dual-curing.
[2] Dual-curing (light- and self-curing) only in conjunction with the blue DC cannula and dual-curing core build-up or luting composites.
[3] In combination with Tetric plus Fill, Tetric plus Flow and Variolink Esthetic DC.
