Coltene Paracore Kit / Core Build Up Composite Material

ParaCore is a composite-based, dual-cured, glass-reinforced, radiopaque core build up material in syringes. ParaCore is also suitable for use in cementing root posts and indirect restorations.

The material simplifies the post & core restorative technique, because it is ideal for post cementation as well as core-build ups. Additionally, ParaCore in automix syringes is usable for cementation of indirect restorations. The use of ParaCore as a fixing and abutment material establishes an optimum "monobloc bond interface" between dentin, post and crown to produce a restoration with an unusually long life and very high strength.

Optimal handling properties
With its creamy, smooth and non-slumping consistency, ParaCore is the ideal all-in-one material. Due to its thixotropic formulation, ParaCore is also eminently suitable for free-hand application. Due to its grindability, similar to natural dentin, there are no grooves or notches.

Extended working time with ParaCore SLOW
The working time of the ParaCore SLOW is extended to 60 seconds at 37° C, which allows completion of large restorations or cementing posts without time pressure. The ParaCore SLOW setting version can also be injected directly into the root canal with the fine root-canal mixing tip.

New Translucent SLOW shade
In addition to the well-known White and Dentin shades (also available as Dentin SLOW), ParaCore is now offered in Translucent SLOW shade. This enables highly aesthetic restorations and is ideally suited for cementing Fiber Posts (e.g. ParaPost Fiber Lux).

ParaBond is a chemical curing, self-conditioning Adhesive System for enamel and dentin. It consists of a Non-Rinse Conditioner and a chemical-curing adhesive (Adhesive A and B). Instead of the None-Rinse Conditioner also phosphoric acid can be used.

Applying ParaBond Adhesive prior to cementation with ParaCore effectively seals and protects the restoration against marginal microleakage to minimize the risk of postoperative complications. The perfectly matched bond and cement system form a closed product chain for clinically successful posts build ups with long-term stability.
