Prikladan za gotovo sve indirektne radove, uključujući adhezivne mostove, pa čak i postavljanje kolčića u korijenske kanale, daje vam veću kontrolu nego ikad prije. Zahvaljujući lakšem nanošenju, nema potrebe za dozatorom. Osim toga, naša nijansa Universal (A2) pruža iznimnu estetiku. Tu su i translucentna nijansa i opaktna bijela nijansa, za vaše specifične potrebe. Vaša cementiranja sada su svestranija i lakša za izradu nego ikada prije.
1. Prilikom cementiranja na nepripremljenu caklinu ili postavljanja adhezivnih mostova, jetkajte fosfornom kiselinom (npr. pomoću štrcaljke K-ETCHANT™ Syringe) na površinu cakline. Cementiranje ljuskica nije indicirano.
Jedinstvena mješavina tehnologija stvrdnjavanja osigurava da se vaš cement stvrdnjava brzo i daje izdržljiv spoj. Kako naši hidrofilni inicijatori dolaze u kontakt s vlažnim dentinom, reakcija samostvrdnjavanja se ubrzava (sl. 1). A kada počnete stvrdnjavati cement, kod svjetlosnog stvrdnjavanja reakciju ubrzavaju pojačivači radikala (sl. 2).

Genijalni monomer i tehnologija stvrdnjavanja - znanost koja stoji iza PANAVIA rješenja za cementiranje
PANAVIA SA Cement Universal je lider na polju samoadhezivnih smolastih cementa s jedinstvenim LCSi monomerom koji prianja na baš svaki materijal, uključujući staklokeramiku, bez potrebe za posebnim temeljnim premazom.
Upotrebom jedinstvenog silanskog sredstva za vezivanje, ugrađenog u pastu - LCSi monomera - cement daje jaku, izdržljivu kemijsku vezu s porculanom, litijevim disilikatom i kompozitnom smolom. Izvorni MDP monomer, prisutan u pasti, također omogućuje kemijsku reaktivnost s cirkonijem, dentinom i caklinom.
Nadovezujući se na uspjeh našeg proizvoda PANAVIA SA Cement Plus, PANAVIA SA Cement Universal također nudi isti širok raspon indikacija za adheziju i prikladan je za krunice/mostove, inleje/onleje, kolčiće, pa čak i adhezivne mostove. Zahvaljujući snažnoj formuli vezivanja u jednom koraku, cementiranje je lakše nego ikada prije. Proizvod je dostupan u opcijama automatskog i ručnog miješanja.
Originalna MDP tehnologija tvrtke Kuraray Noritake Dental osmišljena je 1981. godine za postizanje maksimalne učinkovitosti adhezivnih dentalnih materijala. Od lansiranja prvog proizvoda PANAVIA s originalnim MDP monomerom 1983. godine, on je postao svjetski uspjeh. Zato smo integrirali MDP u većinu naših adhezivnih proizvoda, poput zlatnog standarda CLEARFIL SE BOND. I danas, više od 30 godina nakon izuma, MDP nastavlja utjecati na svijet dentalne medicine. Od nedavno ga čak koriste i drugi proizvođači. Počašćeni smo što su odabrali MDP za poboljšanje svojih adhezionih proizvoda. Ali što je zapravo MDP? To je funkcionalni monomer (10-metakriloiloksidecil dihidrogen fosfat) koji je spojnica između naših adhezivnih materijala i strukture zuba, metalnih legura i cirkonija. Samo najbolja funkcionalna tehnologija monomera omogućit će vam najizdržljiviji rezultat.
Samoljepljivi smolasti cement, kao što je PANAVIA SA Cement Universal, daje mi pouzdanost primjene svedene na nekoliko koraka. Zahvaljujući jednostavnom i nekompliciranom tijeku rada (postupak u jednom koraku) koji nudi ovaj materijal, on teoretski može zamijeniti konvencionalne cemente u klinici. Estetska svojstva su dobra; uklanjanje viška cementa je jednostavno i neagresivno za desni. S moje točke gledišta, PANAVIA SA Cement Universal idealan je za korištenje u svakodnevnoj praksi.
Dugo sam bio skeptičan prema upotrebi samoadhezivnih cementa. Ipak, odlučio sam testirati PANAVIA SA Cement Universal. Sviđa mi se činjenica da je temeljni premaz integriran u pastu, eliminirajući potrebu za zasebnom komponentom. Štoviše, proizvod nudi praktično rukovanje i jednostavno uklanjanje viška. Imam dobar osjećaj o primjeni proizvoda u kombinaciji s adhezivom CLEARFIL Universal Bond Quick: jednostavnost upotrebe u kombinaciji s dokazanim protokolima!
Materijali na koje se možemo osloniti iznimno su nam važni. Zato smo godinama radili s cementom PANAVIA SA Cement Universal. Ovaj smolasti cement osigurava trajnu i izdržljivu vezu u kombinaciji s iznimno niskom stopom komplikacija. Također je jednostavan za korištenje. Veliki plus je što nema potrebe za dodatnim temeljnim premazom. Druga svojstva, koja su nas se dojmila, su lako uklanjanje viška i mogućnost čuvanja na sobnoj temperaturi. PANAVIA SA Cement Universal—smolasti cement koji je dio naše svakodnevne rutine danas i ostat će to u godinama koje dolaze.
Zbog vrhunske estetike, postojanosti i zadržavanja efekta, danas se za postavljanje restauracija preporuča korištenje adhezivnih smolastih cementa umjesto konvencionalnih. U tom kontekstu PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal nudi savršenu kombinaciju kvalitete i iznimno jednostavnog rukovanja.

Cementom PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal i materijalom KATANA™ Zirconia
With PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal and KATANA™ Zirconia
By using PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal and its proprietary dual-monomer technology, you can now simplify the bonding of restoration to implant abutments without the use of separate primers or silane. Independent research has confirmed this new dual-monomer technology does not sacrifice adhesion or durability on glass-based ceramics or zirconia. The technique, in this case study, is for custom fabricated abutment & KATANA™ Zirconia YML crown, however, the basic technique on the treatment of the abutment and restoration may be used with any implant restoration combination as long as the proper surface treatments for type of material is followed.
Basic technique on the treatment of the abutment and restoration.
Fig. 1. Check Initial Fit of Abutment & Restoration: abutment & crown margins should be checked to ensure proper fit.
Fig. 2. Protect base of implant with putty or light-cure block-out resin. The base of the implant should be covered so that it is not air abraded accidentally.
Fig. 3. Abrade titanium abutment with 50 μm alumina oxide powder.
Fig. 4. Clean abutment with KATANA™ Cleaner: Apply KATANA™ Cleaner by rubbing each area for 10 seconds.
KATANA™ Cleaner is a universal cleaner that is indicated to clean metal, zirconia & glass-based restorations. It is also an intra oral cleaner that may be used on dentin and enamel.
Bonding to zirconia has been proven to be durable in research going back to the 1990’s with the original MDP adhesive monomer in the PANAVIA™ resin cements. The three requirements to bonding zirconia are:

Nova tehnika: manje složena, ali s boljom adhezijom na dentin
Article by Prof. Lorenzo Breschi
Fewer bottles, more choices – this is possibly the shortest way to describe the category of universal resin cements. Being self-adhesive, these dual-cure resin-based cements allow for a single-component workflow without the need for separate tooth or restoration primers in many clinical situations. The bond strength obtained in this way is usually high enough to provide for a stable bond between the tooth and the restoration in a wide range of indications. However, it is slightly lower than that achieved with conventional resin cement systems consisting of several components (typically tooth primer, resin cement and restoration primer).
Apart from the self-adhesive application mode, universal resin cements may be combined with additional system components to increase the bond strength to tooth structure or the restorative material, respectively. This opens up new possibilities with regard to the product’s use: depending on the required or desired bonding performance, the universal resin cement may be applied alone or in combination with a tooth primer, a restoration primer or both components. In addition, hybrid concepts become feasible, as explained in this article that focuses on PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.) as an example.
PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal is a dual-cure universal resin cement that is indicated for a wide range of applications when used in the self-adhesive mode. The bond established to restorative substrates (including silicate ceramics) is high without the use of a separate primer or silane1-4. This is due to two different adhesive monomers contained in the formulation – the Original MDP Monomer and the LCSi Monomer (a long carbon-chain silane coupling agent responsible for a strong chemical bond to silicate ceramics). Hence, it is possible to use the resin cement without any additional component applied on the side of the restoration – even in cases with a lack of retention and consequently high bond-strength requirements.
A strong bond to enamel and dentin is also obtained in the self-adhesive mode. In certain situations, however, it may be useful to further increase the bond strength to tooth structure with the aid of a tooth primer.
The tooth primer recommended for PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal is CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.). Its application is recommended whenever a user feels that the treatment would benefit from an extraordinarily strong and durable chemical bond, i.e. in particularly challenging situations with insufficient mechanical retention. The effectiveness of this measure has been confirmed in an in-vitro study conducted in Japan, in which the 24-hour micro-tensile bond strength to dentin was increased significantly by the application of the universal adhesive5. When a separate adhesive is used, however, the importance of a completely dry working field increases. The reason is that the moisture tolerance of resin cements is usually higher than that of adhesives. Consequently, the application of a rubber dam is highly recommended.
For situations in which proper isolation of the working field with a rubber dam is difficult, a third application option is available and proposed by a group of Italian researchers: Selective Adhesive Luting. In this case, CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick is applied solely to those parts of the prepared tooth that allow for proper moisture control, while relying on the self-adhesive functionality of PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal in areas where it is challenging to obtain the desired dry working field. Situations which are predestined for this technique are abutment teeth with a subgingival preparation margin and particularly short abutment teeth (that hinder the placement of a rubber dam).
The effectiveness of the selective adhesive luting technique has been verified in an in-vitro study that compared the three adhesive strategies – self-adhesive luting, full adhesive luting and selective adhesive luting – with the aid of shear bond strength testing6. The results of the tests show that users are able to enhance the bond strength of PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal to dentin and enamel by applying the adhesive to a part of the tooth surface only. For the cementation system consisting of PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal and CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick, the full adhesive and the selective adhesive approach led to similar outcomes.
For situations in which proper isolation of the working field with a rubber dam is difficult, a third application option is available and proposed by a group of Italian researchers: Selective Adhesive Luting.

Fig. 7. Treatment outcome at a recall after one year.
Apart from the desired (long-term) increase in bond strength achieved by applying a separate adhesive to a part of the or the whole prepared tooth surface, the technique offers additional benefits. Compared to multi-step cementation systems, the protocol is simplified as no separate restoration primer is needed. Light-curing of the adhesive is not required as long as the user stays within the recommended system. And in contrast to the full adhesive approach requiring rubber dam placement, the need for this step is eliminated in the selective adhesive approach. In this way, the chair-time is reduced and patient comfort increased.
Depending on the indication, clinical variables and individual preferences, users of universal resin cements like PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal may select the technique that is likely to deliver the best clinical outcomes. It is this flexibility and the generally wide range of applications that makes the innovative product category truly universal. With fewer components to be used, universal materials facilitate the streamlining and standardization of clinical procedures, while with fewer bottles to be stored, they help staff gain control over order and storage management as well.

Postupci cementiranja bez imalo stresa: PANAVIA SA Cement Universal na prvi pogled
Zašto je PANAVIA marka kojoj se vjeruje
You probably know that they all contain the original MDP monomer developed in the early 1980s. It has attracted much attention because it is such an excellent adhesive monomer. This phosphate ester monomer forms a very strong bond to tooth structure, zirconia, and dental metals. It has been used in every PANAVIA™ product. In reality, however, other catalytic technologies and ingredients alongside MDP are important technological contributors supporting the performance of our cementation solutions.
One of these decisive additional technologies and ingredients is the polymerization catalyst triggering the curing process. Different from the MDP monomer used in every PANAVIA™ product, the polymerization catalyst has been continuously improved since the introduction of PANAVIA™ EX in 1983. New versions have been developed for PANAVIA™ 21, PANAVIA™ Fluoro Cement and PANAVIA™ V5, for example. Another important component also affecting the curing process is the Touch Cure Technology used in two of the three major products of the current PANAVIA™ Portfolio: PANAVIA™ V5 and PANAVIA™ Veneer LC. This technology was first used in PANAVIA™ 21, which was launched in 1993. The contact of the chemical polymerization activator contained in the self-etching primer with the resin cement paste accelerates the polymerization of the cement from the adhesive interface, thus providing better adhesion of the resin cement. In developing PANAVIA™ V5, we reviewed the chemical composition of the existing PANAVIA™ products and updated it substantially. The Touch Cure technology has also been adopted for use in the case of PANAVIA™ V5 Tooth Primer and the concomitantly used PANAVIA™ V5 Paste. When cementing veneers with PANAVIA™ Veneer LC, we also use PANAVIA™ V5 Tooth Primer for conditioning teeth. This also involves the application of Touch Cure technology for achieving an adhesive connection with the tooth without compromising the working time of the cement paste.
Even in the field of adhesive monomers, we did not stand still: We developed the LCSi monomer, a long carbon chain silane-coupling agent which made possible to integrate the function of a ceramic primer in our universal self-adhesive resin cement PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal. With its high level of hydrophobicity, this monomer provides stable, long-term bond strength. Generally speaking, it may be said that the reason bond durability may drop is a hydrolytic reaction damaging the chemical bond between the silica contained in the glass ceramics and the silane-coupling agent.
By combining these technologies and ingredients smartly, we have succeeded in developing a resin cement portfolio that covers virtually every need. With PANAVIA™ V5, PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal and PANAVIA™ Veneer LC, it is possible to treat a wide variety of cases. The products allow for the luting of various types of restorations, prosthetic appliances and for the placement of posts and produce great outcomes if used properly according to the instructions for use.
PANAVIA™ V5 is the resin cement that has the widest range of uses among the three cement systems just mentioned. It covers almost all the intended uses of the other two cements. Therefore, it is possible for the dental practitioner to choose the right cement system for treatment, according to the cases arriving at the clinic and patient needs, from among these three major resin cement products: PANAVIA™ V5, a resin cement with a wide range of applications; PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal, a simple and easy-handling self-adhesive resin cement; and PANAVIA™ Veneer LC when there is a need to bond laminate veneers.
The good thing about developing technologies in a company like Kuraray Noritake Dental is that their application is not limited to a certain product or product group. The R&D Department always carries out research on how to leverage the benefits of the technologies in other applications. Take, for example, KATANA™ Cleaner, which was released in 2019. This cleaning agent can be used to remove saliva, blood, temporary cement, or other contaminants that can adhere to the surfaces of teeth or prosthetic devices during trial fitting and temporary cementation of a prosthetic device. This unique product has been developed by taking advantage of the surfactant function of the MDP monomer.
Hence, it is mainly our long-standing knowledge and experience in the development of dental resin cements and adhesive solutions that provides for the excellence of the current PANAVIA™ Portfolio. We know how to improve on existing technologies, to never stop developing new ones and to continuously look for the best way to combine proven and new components to obtain the best possible outcomes. In the steps of the product development procedure, clinical tests are conducted and feedback from dental practitioners is gathered in order to take into account the extreme conditions found in the oral environment. In the past 40 years, this strategy has proven successful, and we are sure it will help us to develop many other innovative products that offer ideal support in striving to improve the oral health of patients.

DENTAL ADVISOR has once again recognized PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal as a Top Product in the category of Indirect Restoratives. This dual-cure, fluoride-releasing, radiopaque self-adhesive resin cement adheres to virtually all substrates — including lithium disilicate — in a single-step procedure without the need for a separate primer or silane. It also offers easy, gingival-friendly removal of excess cement and requires no refrigeration.
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.
Due to its unique chemistry PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal represents a convenient, versatile, and efficacious single solution to practitioners’ everyday cementation needs for a wide variety of indications, including cementation of crowns/bridges, inlays/onlays, posts, splints, and even adhesion bridges.
In its commendation, DENTAL ADVISOR stated, “As tested in DENTAL ADVISOR Laboratories, PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal with an incorporated silane primer had exceptional initial bond strength to dentin, lithium disilicate, and zirconia.”
The benefits and quality of PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal were further reflected in the findings and feedback of the 31 clinical evaluators who tested the cement during 516 applications. They praised its ease of use, handling characteristics, and aesthetics, and gave it an overall clinical rating of 96 percent. Among their comments: "Has an ideal film thickness and flows well.”, "You can use this in a moist environment with no issues.” , and “Excess cement peels right away from the margin.”
The Top Product and Preferred Product Awards conferred by US-based DENTAL ADVISOR were initially introduced to help busy practitioners make sense of the numerous new solutions indicated for less invasive techniques and standardised or simplified procedures, ultimately, to achieve better outcomes regularly.
DENTAL ADVISOR conducts its practice-based clinical evaluations and product performance tests shortly after product launch. It publishes results annually online in its January/February issue to help potential users identify high-quality new dental materials and determine which among them are best suited to fulfil their individual requirements.

Univerzalni proizvodi i njihov utjecaj na kliničke postupke i procedure liječenja
A pioneer in digital dental photography, the editor-in-chief of the “International Journal of Esthetic Dentistry” and a supporter of universal products: We are talking about Dr Alessandro Devigus, the owner of a private practice in Bülach, Switzerland. At the International Dental Show 2023 in Cologne, we had a conversation with him about his favourite products from Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc. and the concept of universal excellence.
Dr Adham Elsayed, Clinical and Scientific Manager at Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc., interviewing Dr Alessandro Devigus.
We all would like to reduce the number of products and components used in our dental offices to make our lives easier and more predictable. Several years ago, when the first universal products started entering the dental market, I realized that these products and the concept behind them are able to help me achieve this goal.
The main field of application is restorative dentistry, in indirect and direct restorative workflows, which often go hand in hand. Whenever possible and in accordance with the needs and desires of the patient, I opt for minimally invasive direct composite restorations, often realized using universal products. Cosmetic corrections or tooth wear treatments in the lower jaw, for example, are often carried out in a prepless procedure with resin composite applied with a single-shade technique. For anterior restorations in the upper jaw of the same patient, however, I might opt for ceramic restorations, luted with a universal resin cement.
I produce most of my single-tooth restorations chairside with CEREC. In the anterior region, the choice is usually between different types of glass ceramic materials. In some indications, when two central incisors or all four maxillary incisors need to be restored, zirconia is also a suitable option. In these cases and for indirect restorations in the posterior region, KATANA™ Zirconia Block is my preferred material. Having tested many different types of chairside zirconia, I can say that this product simply offers the most natural colour gradation and the desired vitality. Hence, finishing is quick and easy. At the same time, the high flexural strength of the material supports me in my striving for minimally invasive preparations. For definitive placement of the produced overlays and crowns, PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal from Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc. is my dual-cure resin cement of choice. It bonds to virtually every surface including lithium disilicate without a separate primer and offers a good flowability that facilitates restoration placement. An additional feature contributing to a quick and stress-free clinical procedure is its easy and gingiva-friendly excess removal after tack curing.
One of my favourite resin composites is CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES-2 Universal (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.). Its single shade for the posterior and two shades for the anterior region offer just the right combination of translucency and intrinsic colour to imitate a large number of tooth shades. The effect is that it blends in nicely with the surrounding tooth structure without appearing grayish. In the posterior region, I was able to observe a certain masking potential, so that discoloured abutment teeth do not cause any problems. With this material, the shade determination step is eliminated. Clinical workflows are also simplified by the use of CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick. The universal adhesive is not only versatile as it is suitable for many indications and all etching techniques, but also extraordinarily quick in its application, as the need for an extensive rubbing into the tooth structure is eliminated. In this way, it is possible to streamline direct restorative procedures.
I simply like products from Japanese companies. They stand for quality, integrity and clinical relevance. Japanese people seem to be deeply committed to the company they work for and to their work, pay attention to every detail and try to deliver the best outcomes possible. This attitude is reflected in Kuraray’s mission “For people and the planet—to achieve what no one else can.”, and it is reflected in the products of the company as well. They offer the properties I need to deliver high-quality dental treatments.
In the first place, using fewer products and components that are easy and quick in their application allows me to get a grip on costs. With fewer steps and fewer bottles, shortened application times and standardized workflows, the time a patient needs to sit in the chair is reduced, which allows me to save the most valuable factor in the office: my time. At the same time, material storage and order management are streamlined, so that it is much easier to keep track of dates of expiry, hence saving material costs as well. And the best thing about it is that all these savings are possible without compromising treatment quality. Provided that the user is able to handle the materials properly – which is facilitated by the minimal number of steps and ease of use – the quality of the outcomes is extremely high!
Dr Devigus, we thank you for sharing your insights with us.
without a separate primer
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.
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.
Due to its unique chemistry PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal represents a convenient, versatile, and efficacious single solution to practitioners’ everyday cementation needs. It is:
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.

In the context of different repair procedures
Article by Dr. Michał Jaczewski
When working with composite, one of the most important aspects is to understand the mechanisms of adhesion. Choosing the right composite is one thing, but choosing a suitable bonding system and using it correctly is an equally important aspect affecting the long-term performance of a direct restoration.
There are many bonding products on the market - two-bottle (primer and bond) but also single-bottle systems. For anyone trying to select an ideal adhesive for a specific clinical case, the sheer number of available products can be challenging. The temptation to use them all, in slightly different ways, has the potential to create errors. In my dental practice, I am committed to simplifying procedures.
This is why I started looking for a bonding system that would offer a sense of security in terms of adhesion, but also ease of use in different clinical situations. I have opted for the 8th-generation bonding agent with the desired features - CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.). The single-bottle universal adhesive is ideal for a broad variety of bonding procedures carried out in the dental office.
CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick can be used in the total-etch as well as the selective enamel etching technique in combination with an etching gel such as K-ETCHANT Syringe (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.). It is also a self-etching adhesive. Used in combination with the dual-cure build-up material CLEARFIL™ DC CORE PLUS or the dual-cure universal resin cement PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal (both Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.), it is also an ideal choice for cementation in the root canal and for cementing inlays or crowns made of a variety of different restorative materials – from metal to zirconia or lithium disilicate. Efficient clinical procedures are supported by the incorporated Rapid Bond Technology, which eliminates the need for extensive rubbing or waiting for the adhesive to penetrate the substrate and the solvent to evaporate. Among the key components of this technology are hydrophilic amide monomers, which allow the adhesive solution to penetrate moist dentin extraordinarily quickly, while also having a high curing ability. In addition, the original MDP monomer is included in the formulation. Together with the amide monomers, it provides for a high bond strength to enamel and dentin – achievable in a simple procedure of application, air-drying and light-curing.
The described properties turn CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick into one of the most versatile and easy-to-use adhesive bonding solutions in the dental office. Operator sensitivity is low, as is its technique sensitivity, since the three-step procedure is always the same. The following case examples illustrate its use in the context of different repair procedures.
One of the major benefits of using composite as a restorative material lies in the fact that it may be modified and repaired at any time. Regardless of whether an air bubble is detected on the surface, the shade needs to be adjusted, a fracture occurs or materials need to be added as a result of wear, modification or repair is easily accomplished without needing to sacrifice additional amounts of healthy tooth structure. Whenever a silicone index has been produced for the initial treatment and is still available, and the user knows which composite has been utilized for the original restoration, the Flowable Injection Technique may be selected as a particularly easy and efficient way of repairing a restoration. However the recommended protocol is slightly different depending on the state of the restoration surface.
When a restoration has been damaged or an air bubble has appeared during injection of a flowable composite, the procedure is slightly different. In this case, the oxygen inhibition layer is usually still present on the surface of the restoration. Therefore, it is possible to simply apply an additional portion of composite (Figs. 1a to 1d). Even after contamination of the composite surface with water, saliva or blood, this measure is possible. The surface merely needs to be rinsed thoroughly and dried before applying the new portion of composite. For maximum safety, a universal adhesive may be used as well.
Fig. 1a. Repair procedure applicable for defect within a composite restoration whenever the oxygen inhibition layer has not yet been removed: Air bubble detected in the interproximal region.
Fig. 1b. Application of a new portion of composite after rinsing and drying. The adjacent surface is protected with PTFE tape.
Fig. 1c. Repositioned silicone index used to give the restoration the originally planned shape.
Fig. 1d. Final restoration.
If a similar defect is detected during finishing and polishing, i.e. when the oxygen inhibition layer has already been removed (Fig. 2), a roughening of the surface is strictly necessary. With a bevelled preparation of the area with the air bubble, optimal conditions are created for another layer of composite that blends in well with the surrounding material (Fig. 3). After bevelling, the surface needs to be sandblasted and cleaned either with KATANA™ Cleaner (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.) (Fig. 4a) or with 37 % orthophosphoric acid (Fig. 4b). After thorough rinsing and drying, an additional portion of composite may be applied to the surface (Figs. 5a to 5c). As the defect is small, the composite may be applied instead of injected and the silicone index repositioned afterwards.

Fig. 5a. Application of composite (CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow Low).
Fig. 5b. Repositioning of the original silicone index to obtain the desired shape.
Fig. 5c. Final restoration with a nice blend-in of the different layers of composite.
For damaged restorations which have been in place for more than two weeks, an ideal composite-composite interface needs to be created by bevelling and roughening of the surface. A perfect example is presented in Figure 6. The most important step influencing the success of the procedure is proper preparation of the composite surface. To lay the foundation for a strong bond between the new and the old composite as well as for aesthetic outcomes, a bevel needs to be created (Figs 7a and 7b) to facilitate a smooth transition between the two layers. Once the bevel is completed, the surface should be sandblasted with alumina particles sized 27 μm (Fig. 8). The following recommended steps are etching of the composite with 37 % orthophosphoric acid (Fig. 9) and finally application of CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick (Fig. 10). As the universal adhesive contains a silane coupling agent, separate silane application is not necessary. Instead, the new layer of composite may be applied immediately e.g. using the flowable injection technique with an existing matrix (Fig. 11).
Fig. 6. Fractured anterior composite restoration benefitting hugely from repair – the remaining composite is in a great state regarding colour and shape.

Fig. 9. Phosphoric acid etching.
Fig. 10. Application of the universal adhesive.
Fig. 11. Composite applied using the flowable injection technique.
Fig. 12. Treatment outcome.
The three described repair protocols are straightforward and work well – provided that a strong bond is established at the composite-composite interface. The way it is established may be slightly different depending on whether the oxygen inhibition layer is still present or has already been removed. Using a universal adhesive like CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick, the procedure is simplified owing to elimination of steps such as the separate application of silane.

Kako osigurati klinički dugoročni uspjeh u vezivanju
The KATANA™ Zirconia Multi-Layered series from Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc. (Kuraray Noritake Dental) is popular among dental technicians and dentists around the world, as it offers great mechanical and optical properties. The available materials have different levels of translucency and strength, and a multi-layered structure that facilitates the creation of lifelike restorations.
Furthermore, they are very well processable, which results in a high milling accuracy and smooth margins. Together, these properties are highly valuable for every dental office, as they result in precisely fitting, durable and beautiful restorations that help you exceed your patients’ expectations.
Clinical long-term success of these zirconia restorations, however, is not only determined by the material choice and laboratory processing alone. The way clinical procedures such as cementation and intra-oral adjustments are carried out have a decisive impact as well. In order to support you in your striving for a long-lasting bond between the tooth and the restoration, and to facilitate intra-oral polishing, Kuraray Noritake Dental has developed a wide variety of in-office products designed to make your life easier and your practice even more successful.
Remove bond-strength compromising proteins
When proteins present in blood and saliva are deposited on the bonding surfaces of teeth or dental restorations, the bonding performance of dental adhesives and self-adhesive resin cements will be compromised. As it is impossible to keep these surfaces free of oral fluids at try-in, effective cleaning strategies are required. In tests comparing different methods and cleaning agents, sandblasting and the use of KATANA™ Cleaner have been highly successful in removing the proteins from the bonding surfaces1.
As KATANA™ Cleaner is a biocompatible material (unlike other often strongly alkaline zirconia cleaners), it is suitable for intra- and extra-oral use. Hence, it is the perfect solution for cleaning your KATANA™ Zirconia restorations as well as prepared enamel and dentin before cementation. The product has a high cleaning effect and is easy to use: simply rub it in for ten seconds, rinse and dry.
Obtain a reliable bond with fewer components
Fewer components and fewer procedure steps, this is what an increasing number of dental practitioners strives for when it comes to cementing zirconia restorations. For all of them, PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal is the solution.
The self-adhesive resin cement contains the proprietary long carbon-chain silane coupling agent (LCSi Monomer) developed by Kuraray Noritake Dental that delivers a strong, durable chemical bond to porcelain, lithium disilicate and composite resin without the need for a separate primer. The original MDP monomer, also present in the paste, allows for chemical reactiveness with zirconia, dentin and enamel.
Therefore, the product is indicated for a wide range of indications (including adhesion bridges) without the need for separate priming and bonding. Another important fact is that excess removal requires a significantly lower force compared to other cements. This was already the case for product’s predecessor PANAVIA™ SA Cement Plus, as reported by a researcher from Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts2. For specifically demanding cases, you may increase the bond strength of PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal to tooth structure with the aid of CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick.
Choose the proven and familiar multi-step system
For all those who would like to stick to multi-step procedures they have trusted for years, PANAVIA™ V5 is the go-to product. It is suitable for all restorations, including those that demand the highest possible bond strength. It is the strongest cement Kuraray Noritake Dental ever developed, and with five shades, it is the most aesthetic one, too. This allows you to cement all tooth-coloured restorations with confidence, no matter whether they have a retentive or non-retentive design. PANAVIA™ V5 is designed to work perfectly with KATANA™ Zirconia, and is indicated for cementing a wide range of indirect restorations, and also for post-and-core procedures and amalgam bonding.
Create antagonist-friendly surfaces
Studies have shown that surface roughness of a restoration has a larger impact on the wear of the antagonist than the hardness of the dental material. This means that for an antagonist-friendly behaviour, the restoration surfaces need to be perfectly polished. This task is easily accomplished with TWIST™ DIA for Zirconia, which may be used after intra-oral adjustments or in the context of maintenance measures.
The flexible polishing spirals with an innovative shape offer you various application benefits for excellent polishing results. TWIST™ DIA for Zirconia is highly suitable for occlusal surface polishing as the shape and contour of the zirconia restoration is maintained. As they are sterilizable, the spirals may be reused.
A winning team for reliable results
By using a restorative material, cleaning solution, cementation system and polishing spirals from Kuraray Noritake Dental, you will benefit from streamlined procedures and reliable results. The products are not only designed to work with each other, but also thoroughly tried and tested for combined use, so that you can carry out your procedures with utmost confidence.

Kombinacija za maksimalnu estetiku
By DT Simone Maffei and Dr. Filippo Menini
Nowadays, digital workflows in prosthodontics are well-established, and many modern dental laboratories have already embraced the option of producing monolithic restorations or restorations with a minimal cut-back for micro-layering in a fully digital environment.
The spread of digital technologies and the availability of new restorative materials with improved aesthetic properties have increased the popularity of this technique among dental technicians. This way of working offers considerable advantages for daily procedures, starting with improved ways of communication between the clinician and dental technician. For example, it is now possible to view and evaluate impressions with the whole treatment team including the dental technician almost instantaneously after impression taking – and without anyone having to leave their office.
In addition to advanced communication options, digital technologies have allowed us to use materials that otherwise could not be processed, such as zirconia and hybrid composites. As a consequence, lots of innovative materials conquered the market, and this has opened up the possibility to always select what is perfectly suited for each specific clinical situation. Adapting to these trends is absolutely essential for anyone who wants to meet a modern dental practitioner’s increased demands.
Working with digital workflows has allowed us to broaden the scope of action of the modern laboratory, enabling virtually effortless collaboration with clinicians hundreds or thousands of kilometres away. The case presented below is a perfect example: In our dental laboratory in Modena, we produced two anatomical crowns made of KATANA™ Zirconia for a patient who needed a combination of direct and indirect restorative treatment to be carried out by Dr. Filippo Menini in Belluno, about 300 km to the northwest. The whole communication and coordination between practice and laboratory was performed remotely and without us seeing the patient.
Monolithic restorations offer countless clinical and technical advantages. With a major part of the process accomplished by machines, they truly rationalize procedures. The challenge resulting from this simplification, however, lies in the achieving of excellent aesthetics.
Whereas until a few years ago, it was very difficult to accomplish this task due to the poor optical properties of the available materials, today we can safely say that we have materials, techniques and protocols at our disposal that allow us to obtain aesthetically acceptable results. At the same time, those materials offer excellent mechanical resistance to the forces and stress to which they are exposed in the oral cavity and a very high precision of fit, if these restorations are produced in a fully digital workflow.
We have chosen to work with prosthetic materials and finishing solutions from a company that manufactures and develops them in-house: Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc. (Kuraray Noritake). They offer zirconia discs for milling as well as effect liquids, veneering porcelain and liquid ceramics for an aesthetic finish and even resin cement systems for adhesive luting – all from a single source. This gives us the advantage of using clear and predictable working protocols from fabrication to cementation of the restoration.
The 31-year-old patient presented with multiple carious lesions, inadequate restorations and in particular a destructive caries in the maxillary right second premolar (tooth #15, FDI notation, Fig. 1). The latter tooth was endodontically treated and built up using a glass fibre post. The X-ray revealed carious lesions and infiltrated margins of the restorations (Fig. 2). The treatment plan for this quadrant included direct composite restorations on the first premolar and first molar (teeth # 14 and 16) and an indirect zirconia crown used to restore the second premolar (tooth #15; Fig. 3). In addition, a zirconia crown needed to be produced for the mandibular right second premolar (tooth #45).

Fig. 2. Radiograph showing carious lesions and restorations with marginal leakage.
Fig. 3. Marked surfaces that will be treated.
During the first session, the clinician restored the first molar and premolar with composite (Figs. 4 and 5). In addition, the tooth preparation on the maxillary and the mandibular second premolar was performed using the biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT; Figs. 6 and 7). Two single-tooth temporaries were then produced, recreating a cervical profile according to the BOPT (Fig. 8). In the next step, the digital impression was taken using the double chord technique (Fig. 9). The file generated by the intraoral scanner was first analysed using a greyscale view. This view allows for a better assessment of the quality of the acquired data than the coloured image (Fig. 10). The temporary restorations were finished, polished and placed on the teeth using temporary cement (Fig. 11).

In the dental laboratory, we received the intraoral scans in the STL format: Both arches with the prepared teeth and the usual bit register (vestibular scan of the arches in occlusion). Following a careful evaluation of the impressions and the quality of the triangulation of the points of the STL file detected by the scan, a full-contour design of the crowns was performed (zero cutback crowns). This allows us to obtain an emergence profile, according to the BOPT, which is extremely accurate. The anatomy was developed taking into account the functional movements of the patient, which were based on information retrieved from a virtual articulator integrated in the CAD software. These movements can be verified and – if necessary – corrected on the physical articulator in a subsequent step. As it is possible to use the same type of articulator (in our case ARTEX by Amann Girrbach) both in the virtual environment and the real one (control phase) offers the advantage of using the same settings and consequently the same movements in both worlds (Fig. 12).

The STL files of the designed restorations were sent to the CAM software for milling of the zirconia crowns with a 5-axis CNC machine. The material of choice was in this case KATANA™ Zirconia YML (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc), which is multi-layered in strength, translucency and colour, and thus suitable for a variety of cases (Fig. 13). Once milling was finished, the elements were removed from the disc and their surface treated with diamond burs and specific rubbers designed for the processing of pre-sintered zirconia. In this phase, it is possible to individualise the anatomy and surface texture of the restorations, a task that is very difficult to accomplish in the milling process. With the dedicated rubbers, the surface can also be smoothened, which will improve the appearance of our restorations after sintering (Fig. 14).
On top, individualization of the pre-sintered restorations was accomplished with Esthetic Colorant (Kuraray Noritake). These new effect liquids have been specifically developed for KATANA™ Zirconia. They contain a special primer that limits the depth of penetration, which results in an appearance similar to external stains, while a depth effect is created. Precise application of the liquids is possible with the Liquid Brush Pen. The Esthetic Colorant line-up consists of twelve colours to facilitate stock management in the dental laboratory, while still providing for natural aesthetics and perfect harmony in the oral cavity. Impact on the flexural strength of the zirconia substructure by the liquids is kept to a minimum, as they have been optimised to limit this effect and avoid fractures. (Fig. 15).
Sintering is carried out in a specially calibrated furnace, scrupulously following the protocol recommended by the manufacturer. Afterwards, the finishing procedure can be continued. With special stones, the cervical edge was first regularised: In the deeper, subgingival areas, the intraoral scanner usually has some difficulties capturing all the necessary information. As a consequence, the STL file is triangulated with some irregularities at the cervical margin. These irregularities need to be regularised, before the thickness of the margin is reduced to '0'. In fact, during milling it, is created with a thickness of 0.2 mm to avoid micro-chipping that would compromise the accuracy of the cervical margin. Figure 16 shows both the thickness of the cervical margin, which, despite the finishing preparation, retains a thickness of 0.2 mm, and the irregular course of the same due to the irregular shape of the STL file around the sulcus.

The restorations were then sandblasted with 50-μm aluminium dioxide at 2 bar pressure and cleaned under a steam jet. After an evaluation of the colour revealed after sintering, the finishing phase was completed with the aid of CERABIEN™ ZR FC Paste Stain (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.) and polishing instruments. The ceramic emulsions FC Paste Stain allow us to adjust the chroma and value of the restorations and to imitate all those aesthetic features that will improve integration in the oral cavity. With this technique, it is very easy to achieve the desired shade match, as the appearance of the stain applied to the surface is exactly like its appearance after firing. In this way, it is easy to monitor the outcome and – if desired – compare with a reference and adjust whenever necessary (Figs. 17 and 18).
For cementation of the restorations, the clinician used PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal in combination with KATANA™ Cleaner (both Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.). The cleaner has a pH value of 4.5 be used both intra and extra-orally, improving adhesion in all restorative procedures. PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal is the only self-adhesive resin cement containing the unique LCSi monomer – a long carbon-chain silane coupling agent. In combination with the original MDP monomer, which is also present in the paste and enables chemical adhesion with zirconia, dentin, enamel and metal alloys, this coupling agent provides for adhesion of the cement to any material, including glass-ceramics, without the need for a separate primer (Figs. 19, 20 and 21). At the cementation appointment, the last planned direct reconstruction of the maxillary second molar (tooth #17) was also carried out.

The aesthetic integration provided by the high quality of KATANA™ Zirconia YML, combined with the pre- and post-sintering individualisation, made it possible to achieve an excellent integration of the anatomical zirconia crowns.

A guideline with regard to contemporary materials
The retention of the fixed prosthodontic restorations is a critical factor for the long-term success, as the loss of crown retention is one of the main reasons for failure of crowns and fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) (1, 2). There are three main elements that need to be considered to achieve proper retention of the restorations; the tooth preparation, the restorative material and the luting agent.
TOOTH PREPARATION
During tooth preparation there are some important features to be considered, such as the height, angle and surface texture of the abutment tooth, in order to achieve an adequate retention and resistance form which provide stability of the restorations to resist dislodgment and subsequent loss (3). Retention form is responsible for counteracting tensile stresses, whereas resistance form counteracts shear stresses (4).
In order to achieve a sufficient retention and resistance form for full coverage crowns it is recommended that the height of the abutment tooth should be at least 4 mm and that the optimal convergence angle should range from 6 to 12 degrees with a maximum of 15 degrees (1, 5-8).
RESTORATIVE MATERIAL
With the continuous introduction of new restorative materials to the dental market it is important to take into consideration the different mechanical properties of the various materials. The composition and the surface properties of the material have a decisive role in the ability to accomplish mechanical and/or chemical attachment to the restoration and therefore achieving required retention.
LUTING AGENT
The luting agent is the connection between the tooth and the restoration. Proper luting of indirect restoration is critical in achieving long-term success as it highly influences the retention of the restoration as well as tightly sealing the gap between the restoration and the tooth. Although there are several classifications for the definitive luting agents, they can be , however, classified into two main categories based on the ability to achieve chemical connection to different substrates; conventional (e.g. zinc phosphate, glass-ionomer and resin-modified glass-ionomer cements) and adhesives. Most commonly used and best documented adhesive luting agents are the adhesive composite resin cements.
Composite resin cements can be further classified according to the chemical composition into traditional full-adhesive resin cement and self-adhesive resin cements, both also differ in the bonding procedure. The full-adhesive resin cements require pre-treatment of the tooth structure and restorative material using separate adhesive systems. In this combination of the resin cement and the adhesive system, very durable chemical bonding can be reached.
To simplify the luting procedure and eliminate the need of using several components, the self-adhesive resin cements are a good choice for the daily busy practice, in which reliable bonding can be achieved in only one simple step of cement application, mostly without additional primers or bonding agents.
With the availability of different types of cements, the decision of choosing the suitable luting agent and method can be confusing for the practitioner. Especially with the wide use of contemporary restorative materials such as new generations of highly translucent zirconia as well as reinforced-composites, it is important to take into consideration that the properties of such materials differ highly from metal or earlier generations of zirconia. Subsequently the choice of the luting agent must be appropriate to achieve satisfying results and long-term success. Therefore, in this article, the authors aim to provide insights for the clinicians on choosing the correct luting agent that can help achieve satisfactory results for the dentist as well as the patients.
CONVENTIONAL CEMENTATION OR ADHESIVE LUTING?
The choice of whether to use a conventional cement or an adhesive resin cement depends on several factors, the key factors are:
1) RETENTION AND RESISTANCE FORM OF THE ABUTMENT TOOTH
Minimal-invasive restorations, such as resin-bonded FDP, labial and occlusal veneers and inlay-retained FDP are based on a non-retentive preparation form. In this case the only possible method to achieve retention is the adhesive luting (9-11).
Even though such preparations completely lack a retentive form, long-term success of the restorations is well-documented when using a durable resin cement (e.g. PANAVIA™ 21, Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc., Japan) and proper bonding procedure (10, 11).
For full-coverage restorations (e.g. crowns and FDPs), the guidelines for tooth preparation discussed before (minimum height of 4 mm and maximum convergence of 15 degrees) need to be applied in order to achieve the retention and resistance form required to make cementation with a conventional luting agent acceptable.
However, in reality this retention form is hard to realize due to several factors.
In cases of severe loss of tooth substance, achieving a minimum height of the abutment tooth is only possible with building up the tooth using a core build-up material which in some cases can be considered time consuming especially when the required build-up is minor (for example 1-2 mm). Moreover, increasing the height through core build-up is sometimes not possible, as in cases with short clinical crowns and insufficient occlusal clearance that is essential to provide the minimum thickness required for the restorative material. In such cases surgical crown lengthening is necessary to increase the height of the tooth without compromising the occlusal space required, which can be time consuming for the clinician and undesirable for the patient as it involves a surgical procedure and extends the treatment process.
Concerning the convergence angle, several studies showed that in reality and in daily practice of the dentist, the preparation angle is much higher than 15 degrees (5, 6, 12, 13). For instance, preparations from general practitioners were evaluated digitally and compared to clinical recommendations and it was found that the mean convergence angle was 26.7 degree with the distopalatal angle being 31.7 degree (12).
Based on the previous concerns, it can be concluded that achieving a proper retention form during daily practice is hard to realize and thus conventional cementation in such cases can present clinical problems especially on the long term. Therefore, adhesive luting can be recommended in these cases as an alternative to conventional cementation (6, 14). For full-coverage restorations with preparation designs featuring at least some mechanical retention, the use of self-adhesive resin cements can be considerate a good alternative as it provides high clinical success rates (9, 15).
Conclusion / Clinical Significance:
2) MECHANICAL AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF THE RESTORATIVE MATERIAL
Flexural strength and translucency of the restorative material are critical factors that influence the decision which luting agent to use.
a) Flexural strength
As a general guideline for all-ceramic restorations, ceramics with low and medium flexural strength under 350 MPa should be adhesively luted with composite resin cements, as these restorations rely on resin bonding for reinforcement and support (9, 14, 16). This includes feldspathic-, glass-, hybrid-ceramics and composite.
Although discussions on conventional cementation versus adhesive luting for high-strength ceramics with flexure strength of more than 350 MPa have been going on for a long time (9), there are several studies showing an increased stability and strength of all types of ceramics, even lithium disilicate and zirconia, when they are adhesively luted (9, 17-20).
It is also important to consider that the documented success of most conventional cements is mainly combined with restorations made of metal or early generations of zirconia. Nonetheless, the clinical success of new generations of high-translucent zirconia can be significantly influenced by the luting agent as these new generations have notably lower flexural strength (9). And therefore, attention has to be paid to minimal material thickness together with adhesive luting to ensure long-term clinical success and prevent fractures (9).
Conclusion / Clinical Significance:
b) Translucency
To meet the increasing esthetic demands of the patients, new materials and techniques are continuously introduced, aiming to provide the perfect esthetic restorations. This includes not only new restorative materials but also new modifications to the luting agents as well. Highly translucent ceramics can deliver superior esthetics and therefore their popularity and clinical applications expanded widely among clinicians. It is nevertheless very important for the clinician to apprehend that the final esthetic result is influenced by the complete restorative complex and not just by the restorative material, as the luting agent is a key factor in achieving the desired high esthetics (21-24).
For that reason, the choice of an opaque conventional cement for cementation of high-translucent restoration should not be recommended as it can negatively influence the final esthetic results. Therefore, composite resin cements are the material of choice, as they are available in different shades and translucencies for the clinician to be able to choose the suitable resin cement to achieve the desired esthetics based on the restorative material and thickness as well as the color of the underlying abutment. Some composite resin cements offer try-in paste so that the clinician and the patient can visualize the final results before luting and therefore better choose the appropriate shade of the resin cement.
Conclusion / Clinical Significance:
3) SIMPLICITY OF THE WORKFLOW AND SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE WORKING ENVIRONMENT
The process of adhesive luting with full-adhesive composite resin cements (e.g. PANAVIA™ V5, Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.) requires separate etching and priming procedures usually using a self-etch adhesive system (e.g. PANAVIA™ V5 Tooth Primer, Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.) as well as a primer for the restorative material such as a universal primer that can be used for different substrates including metal, ceramics and composites (e.g. CLEARFIL™ CERAMIC PRIMER PLUS, Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.). These procedures are technique sensitive and intolerant to contaminations, therefore the luting process needs a dry oral environment avoiding any contamination, such as saliva or blood, preferably using rubber dam, as any contamination can compromise the bond strength. Therefore, inability to maintain dry field as in case of subgingival preparation margins is considered a contraindication for traditional full-adhesive luting. However, this method provides very durable bond strength, therefore it is the luting method of choice for minimal invasive non-retentive preparations, such as resin-bonded FDPs, labial and occlusal veneers and inlay-retained FDPs, in which the retention is mainly dependent on the adhesion (9-11).
Still, in everyday practice, clinicians seek efficiency and effectivity by using a simple but durable luting agent for the insertion of full-coverage restorations such as tooth-or implant-supported crowns and FDPs. Although the conventional cements are simple and fast in their use, they provide little or no adhesion at all and therefore they are not recommended in several cases (6, 9, 14, 15, 19, 20). A simple but reliable method can be well accomplished by the use of self-adhesive resin cements (e.g. PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal, Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.) as they can be considered the best alternative for full-adhesive adhesive luting in less critical situations that do not rely entirely on adhesion (9, 15). Furthermore, self-adhesive resin cements are not as technique sensitive and intolerant to contaminations as traditional full-adhesive resin cements.
Typically, a MDP phosphate monomer is integrated in the self-adhesive resin cement, which is required to chemically bond to different substrates, making it possible for the resin cement to chemically bond to non-precious metals and zirconia as well as tooth substance. However, regardless of the self-adhesive resin cement, the use of a separate silane coupling agent is still required when bonding to silica-based ceramics (e.g. leucite, lithium silicate and lithium disilicate), hybrid ceramics and composite restorations.
Recently, a unique self-adhesive resin cement (PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal, Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.) was introduced: through an innovative and distinctive production technology, a silane-coupling agent (long carbon chain silane (LCSi)) is integrated in the cement, and thus being the real universal adhesive system that completely eliminate the need for any other adhesive or primer when being used for all substrates including glass ceramics. So the luting process can be in this case truly shortened to one step.
Therefore, this unique cement combines several advantages of adhesive luting as well as the straightforward procedure of the conventional cementation without compromising the clinical success, regardless of the type of the restorative material.
As a conclusion, adhesive luting has more benefits over conventional cementation, regarding retention, esthetics, stabilization of the tooth and the restoration as well as preventing micro leakage (6, 9, 14-17, 19, 20, 25, 26) (Table 1). Moreover, there are no absolute contraindications for adhesive luting other than hypersensitivity to methacrylate monomers, as self-adhesive resin cements can be used in cases where full-adhesive resin cements are contraindicated, such as inability to avoid contamination (Table 2). As a result, adhesive luting can be generally used in every clinical situation, whereas conventional cementation is limited (Table 3).

USING THE NEXT-GENERATION SELF-ADHESIVE CEMENTS
by Dr. Tomohiro Takagaki.
INTRODUCTION
In recent years, the use of CAD/CAM systems for the production of indirect restorations has become increasingly popular. The shortage of young, qualified staff in the field of dental technology in Japan1) is likely to contribute to a further increase of automated production techniques such as CAD/CAM, which require fewer manual production steps compared to traditional manufacturing techniques. Also globally, the number of restorations fabricated using CAD/CAM systems is rapidly increasing. This leads to an even more widespread use of innovative, tooth-coloured restorative materials such as zirconia, silicate ceramics and resins.
Demand for placing restorations using the principle of adhesion by resin cements is more and more increasing in daily clinical settings. However, it is difficult and complicated to condition the tooth and restoration surfaces using many primers correctly. In addition, the combination of many different components is time-consuming, complex and cost-intensive. Self-adhesive resin cements, which do not require conditioning the surface of teeth or some restorations with primers, have been released recently, and have become popular among dental practitioners. However, there are many reports2) on the dislodgement of resin-based CAD/CAM restorations and full-zirconia crowns that have been placed using self-adhesive cements. Hence, demand is high for a resin cement system that is both simple to use and reliable in performance.
In this document, I explain the fundamental technology of resin cement systems and their range of applications. In addition, I will introduce the method of using a next-generation self-adhesive cement, PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc., Fig. 1), as an example.
Optimiziranje kvalitete veze minimiziranjem kontaminacije
A strong and durable bond between the tooth and the restoration is a decisive factor influencing the long-term performance of dental restorations. The quality of the bond, however, is not only affected by the bonding agent or cementation solution used, but also by the condition of the bonding surface. For those who would like to ensure clean tooth and restoration surfaces in an easy way, Kuraray Noritake Dental has developed KATANA™ Cleaner, a universal cleaner with MDP salt and a pH of 4.5 for intra- and extra-oral application.
It has been proven that proteins present in saliva and blood have a negative effect on the performance of dental adhesives. Especially in indirect procedures, however, it is impossible to keep the bonding surfaces free of oral fluids. At try-in at the latest, the prepared tooth and the restoration are contaminated and need to be cleaned. Rinsing with water does not have the desired effect, and even with many available cleaners, a certain amount of proteins are usually left on the surface. Tests show that by using KATANA™ Cleaner or by sandblasting, the desired high cleaning effect needed is obtained, without compromising bond strength. This is true for KATANA™ Zirconia restorations, while KATANA™ Cleaner also leads to the desired results on dentin and enamel – surfaces in the oral cavity for which sandblasting and most of the other cleaners are not indicated.
The use of KATANA™ Cleaner offers yet another advantage: the cleaning procedure is extraordinarily simple, quick and neat. The universal cleaner comes in a bottle with an innovative flip-top cap, enabling single-handed dispensing onto the dish. It is then rubbed into the surface of the restoration and the prepared tooth structure or the abutment for ten seconds, rinsed with water and dried. Thanks to the high surface activity of MDP salt, these ten seconds are sufficient to remove the proteins on the substrate almost completely, creating conditions very similar to those found on a non-contaminated bonding surface. Subsequently, the selected bonding agent or cementation solution – e.g. PANAVIA™ V5 or PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal – is applied according to the maufacturer’s usage instructions.
The result is a strong long-lasting bond, which gives users a peace of mind. Pilot users who have already tested the product agree that KATANA™ Cleaner is the easy way to optimise bond quality and streamline any adhesive procedure.
Koje su glavne karalteristike?
Sadrži dvije vrste adhezivnih monomera (MDP" i "LCSi") koji omogućuju prianjanje na različite vrste protetskih restauracija bez tretmana prajmerom. Također omogućuje brzo i jednostavno čišćenje viška cementa.
Kako PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal može postići visoku čvrstoću veze bez tretmana prajmerom?
"MDP" pruža visoku čvrstoću veze kemijskom adhezijom sa svojom fosfatnom skupinom na površinu zubne strukture, metala, metalnog oksida (cirkonija itd.). Nadalje, uključivanjem vlasničkog dugolančanog silanskog vezivnog sredstva "LCSi monomera", ima svojstvo vezanja
na keramiku na bazi silicija (IPS e.max, porculan itd.) bez potrebe za tretmanom prajmerom.
Koje su razlike među nijansama?
Univerzalna: Boja je ekvivalentna A2 i preporučuje se za širok raspon restauracija.
Bijela: Visoka vidljivost, neprozirna za izvrsno razlikovanje od zubne strukture (za kočiće itd.).
Prozirna: Visoka transparentnost, preporučuje se za estetske restauracije.
Jesu li nijanse iste kao i kod prethodne verzije, PANAVIA™ SA Cement Plus?
Da, boje su iste kao i u prethodnim verzijama.
Koliko se puta proizvod može koristiti?
Automatsko miješanje - Automix: Otprilike 15 slučajeva (na temelju broja nastavaka pričvršćenih na pastu zasebno)
Ručno miješanje - Handmix: 60 slučajeva (krunica)
Koliko je dugo vrijeme rada/vrijeme stvrdnjavanja?
Je li dugolančano silansko sredstvo za spajanje, LCSi monomer, nova tehnologija?
Ovo je prvi put da se ugrađuje u cementnu pastu na bazi smole radi postizanja adhezivnih svojstava, ali CLEARFIL MAJESTY™ ES Flow itd. ga koriste kao sredstvo za površinsku obradu punila.
Može li se prajmer za zube PANAVIA™ V5 koristiti za obradu površine zuba?
Ne može se koristiti. Budući da je korišteni katalizator kemijske polimerizacije drugačiji, ne može se jamčiti dovoljna adhezija. Preporučujemo upotrebu CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick za poboljšanje čvrstoće veze sa zubnom strukturom.
Postoji li razlika u performansama između tipa materijala s ručnim miješanjem i s automatskim miješanjem?
Nema nikakve razlike u performansama. Osnovni sastav je isti, stoga oba imaju iste performanse lijepljenja. Što se tiče vremena rada, ručno miješanje traje dvije minute, a automatsko miješanje jednu minutu. Prilikom doziranja cementa iz štrcaljke za automatsko miješanje mora se koristiti nastavak za miješanje ili endo nastavak.
Kako treba lagerovati proizvod?
Čuvati na temperaturi od 2-25°C/ 36-77°F. Tijekom skladištenja izbjegavajte izravnu sunčevu svjetlost, stomatološko svjetlo, ekstremnu toplinu itd.
Koji su uzroci brzog stvrdnjavanja?
A1. Stvrdnjavanje potaknuto ambijentalnim svjetlom
Pasta sadrži katalizator za svjetlosno stvrdnjavanje koji je vrlo fotoaktivan, a polimerizacija se može ubrzati izlaganjem jakom svjetlu, poput stomatološkog svjetla, tijekom cementiranja. Molimo poduzmite mjere za smanjenje intenziteta svjetla isključivanjem stomatološkog svjetla u vrijeme rada. Također, tijekom i nakon miješanja paste, svako izlaganje svjetlu, poput izravne sunčeve svjetlosti ili stomatološkog svjetla, potiče stvrdnjavanje, stoga molimo da cementiranje izvršite odmah nakon miješanja paste.
A2. Stvrdnjavanje potaknuto u intraoralnom okruženju
Stvrdnjavanje kompozitnih cemenata, poput PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal, može se ubrzati u intraoralnom okruženju gdje je temperatura viša od sobne temperature. Osim toga, stvrdnjavanje kompozitnih cemenata može se ubrzati i kada miješana pasta nije u kontaktu sa zrakom tijekom postupka cementiranja s protetskim nadomjescima. Posebno, kada se cement nanosi izravno u šupljinu, početno stvrdnjavanje će započeti za oko 40 sekundi, stoga molimo da cementiranje izvršite odmah (kada se koristi U kombinaciji s CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick, početno stvrdnjavanje počinje otprilike 30 sekundi nakon cementiranja). Kao što je opisano u Uputama za uporabu, korištenje lentulo spiralne paste može ubrzati polimerizaciju paste preko poželjnih granica.
A3. Stvrdnjavanje potaknuto kontaktom s vodom
Kapljice vode koje se lijepe za podlogu za miješanje ili špatulu mogu ubrzati stvrdnjavanje, stoga ih, ako su prisutne, obrišite prije upotrebe. Kada se proizvod čuva u hladnjaku, kako biste izbjegli kondenzaciju vode, ostavite proizvod da se ohladi na sobnu temperaturu najmanje 15 minuta prije upotrebe.
Što Koji su razlozi otpadanja protetske restauracije prilikom uklanjanja viška cementa?
Prilikom uklanjanja viška cementa nakon stvrdnjavanja, držite restauraciju na mjestu kako biste izbjegli mogućnost podizanja restauracije, budući da bi moglo doći do nedovoljno stvrdnutog cementa na bazi smole. Ako se za uklanjanje viška cementa koristi zubni konac, treba ga koristiti u smjeru koji ne podiže protetsku restauraciju. U slučaju cementiranja neprozirnih protetskih restauracija (npr. metalnih krunica i inleja), potrebno je završno vrijeme stvrdnjavanja od 5 minuta nakon postavljanja.
Koji su glavni faktori neuspjeha protetske restauracije?
A1. Korištenje materijala koji sadrže eugenol za zaštitu pulpe ili privremeno brtvljenje, jer mogu inhibirati proces stvrdnjavanja cementne smole.
A2. Korištenje vodikovog peroksida za čišćenje šupljina, jer može oslabiti čvrstoću veze sa zubnom strukturom.
A3. Korištenje hemostatičkih sredstava koja sadrže željezne spojeve jer ovi materijali mogu oslabiti prianjanje i uzrokovati promjenu boje zbog preostalih željeznih iona.
A4. Korištenje hemostatičkih sredstava koja sadrže aluminijev klorid. Prilikom korištenja gore navedenog, smanjite njegovu količinu i budite oprezni kako biste spriječili kontakt s površinom koja se lijepi. Nepoštivanje toga može oslabiti čvrstoću veze sa zubnom strukturom.
A5. Kontaminiran kavitet. Ako je kavitet izrazito kontaminiran, kao u slučaju pada metalne jezgre itd., očistite je u skladu s općim propisima. Osim toga, ostatke amalgama ili materijala za oblaganje treba potpuno ukloniti tijekom pripreme šupljine kako bi se izbjeglo loše prianjanje.
A6. Koristi se nejednaka količina paste A i B. Pazite da upotrijebite jednaku količinu paste A i B za miješanje. Ako količina istisnute paste A i B nije jednaka, stvrdnjavanje može biti brže ili sporije i postoji mogućnost loše polimerizacije. U slučaju tipa s automatskim miješanjem, prije pričvršćivanja nastavka za miješanje ili endo nastavka, istisnite malu količinu obadvije paste, pazeći da se jednake količine ispuštaju kroz oba izlaza štrcaljke, i bacite testiranu pastu.
Zašto se PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal ne stvrdnjava pravilno na stočiću?
PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal se ne stvrdnjava pravilno (ili se stvrdnjava vrlo sporo) na sobnoj temperaturi i na zraku, jer kisik prekida stvrdnjavanje smole (anaerobno stvrdnjavanje). To su normalna svojstva cementnih smola.
Slika prikazuje pastu na pločici za miješanje. Ne može se stvrdnjavati u crvenom području, posebno na zraku (kisiku). Ako su količine paste vrlo male, pasta se ne može polimerizirati.
Kako provjeriti proizvod da vidim može li se pravilno stvrdnuti?
Prvo, istisnite male količine PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal paste pomoću nastavka za miješanje i ostavite 5 - 10 minuta. Zatim provjerite može li se pasta istisnuti iz nastavka za miješanje. (Ako je teško istisnuti, radi ispravno) Utjecaj kisika na pastu izbjegava se u nastavku za miješanje. Kod verzije s ručnim miješanjem, unutarnji sloj paste će se polimerizirati, ali vanjski sloj može ostati mekan (sloj inhibicije kisika).
Koliko dugo traje konačno stvrdnjavanje?
Završno vrijeme stvrdnjavanja je 10 sekundi u slučaju protetskih nadomjestaka koji su prozirni. Konačno vrijeme stvrdnjavanja je 5 minuta nakon postavljanja protetskog nadomjestka za samostvrdnjavanje. U slučaju nadomjestaka i zubnih kočića, postavite nadomjestak na mjesto otprilike 10 minuta i provjerite je li cement potpuno stvrdnuo prije pripreme zuba nosača.
Koja se primjena cementa preporučuje: na protetskoj strani ili na strani zuba nosača?
Iako je moguće nanijeti cement na obje strane, protetsku ili abatment stranu, stvrdnjavanje se ubrzava kada se nanosi na stranu zuba nosača (kaviteta). Prilikom izravnog umetanja paste u šupljinu ili korijenski kanal, protetski nadomjestak treba postaviti unutar 40 sekundi (unutar 30 sekundi kada se koristi CLEARFIL™ Universal Bond Quick).
Može li se proizvod koristiti za cementiranje metala (PFM)?
Da, PANAVIA™ SA Cement Universal može se lijepiti i za legure neplemenitih metala i za legure plemenitih metala.
Može li se proizvod koristiti za cementiranje fiberglas kolčića?
Da, moguće je. Tretman fiber stupića temeljnim premazom nije potreban, ali ga očistite prema uputama za uporabu nakon probnog lijepljenja stupića.
