“Very nice handling properties”

PAVANIA™ Veneer LC receives 4.6 rating in REALITY’s Five Star Award

 

After a FirstLook evaluation published in May 2022, a team of evaluators from REALITY RATINGS & REVIEWS has thoroughly tested PANAVIA™ Veneer LC in the clinical practice environment – with great outcomes. The purely light-cured resin cement received 4.6 out of 5 stars in the Five Star Award, the most convincing features being its handling and viscosity.

 

While most of the evaluators used PANAVIA™ Veneer LC for the permanent cementation of veneers, some also tested the onlay indication (restricted to high-translucency materials of a material-specific maximum thickness). Those who decided to polish the margins (43 %) found that the resin cement is very well polishable with little effort. Among the handling properties highlighted were easy seating with virtually no drifting, non-stickiness and easy excess removal – both after tack curing and in the cement’s uncured state. In addition, the evaluators praised the minimal film thickness and favourable viscosity, which has a considerable impact on the ease of seating. The working time was sufficient for all evaluators, independent of their way of working (filtering/blocking dental unit light or not, placing multiple veneers simultaneously or one veneer at a time).

 

The shade offering – PANAVIA™ Veneer LC is available in the four shades Clear, Universal/A2, Brown/A4 and White – was regarded adequate by most evaluators (79 %), the most popular shade being Clear. One evaluator stated that “I think the “clear” shade is my new favorite. It seems to have a brightness to it compared to other clear or translucent cements.”. Being the only shade with a high opacity, White was found to have a decisive impact on the appearance of the final restoration. The try-in pastes were well-received for their handling and easy rinse-off ability.

 

The PANAVIA™ Veneer LC kit available in Europe consists of PANAVIA™ Veneer LC Paste, PANAVIA™ V5 Tooth Primer and CLEARFIL™ CERAMIC PRIMER PLUS. Hence, it builds confidence by sharing primers with the proven PANAVIA™ V5, while its long working time and specific handling properties add extra benefits that are extremely valuable during veneer cementation.
