Strong and durable bond without a separate primer

PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal RECEIVES TOP PRODUCT AWARD

The US-based Dental Advisor has recognized PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal as a Top Product in the category of Indirect Restoratives — Cement: Self-Adhesive Resin for the sixth consecutive year. This recognition was announced in the January/February 2025 issue of the publication. PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal is a dual-cure, fluoride-releasing, radiopaque self-adhesive resin cement that adheres to virtually every substrate — including lithium disilicate — in a single-step procedure without the need for a separate primer or silane.

INNOVATIVE MONOMER COMBINATION

It is because PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal combines two innovative technologies in a single product that a strong and durable bond can be achieved in a single step. The silane-coupling agent, LCSi monomer, establishes a durable, chemical bond with porcelain, lithium disilicate, and composite resin; and the original MDP monomer provides for chemical reactiveness with zirconia, dentin and enamel.

BENEFITS IN A NUTSHELL

Due to its unique chemistry PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal represents a convenient, versatile, and efficacious single solution to practitioners’ everyday cementation needs. It is:

• Suitable for a wide variety of indications, including cementation of crowns/bridges, inlays/onlays, posts, splints, and even adhesion bridges
• Suitable for a wide variety of restorative materials (including lithium disilicate) without separate primers
• Offers easy, gingival-friendly excess removal
• Ready for use immediately as it requires no refrigeration

OUTSTANDING OVERALL CLINICAL RATING: 96 PERCENT

The performance of the product was tested by the Dental Advisor in the clinical and laboratory setting, resulting in a research report and a clinical evaluation. For the latter, 31 clinical evaluators tested the cement during 516 applications. They praised the cement’s ease of use, handling characteristics, and aesthetics, and gave it an overall clinical rating of 96 percent. Among their comments:

• “Good flow and film thickness.”
• “Amazing viscosity, tack-cure ability and very easy clean-up.”
• “My assistant does not have to get it out of the refrigerator as it can be stored at room temperature.”
• "Can be used in a moist environment with no setting issues."

The laboratory data confirmed very high initial shear bond strength values on dentin, lithium disilicate and zirconia.
