One Cement. All indications. One prime procedure.

Just imagine cementing all of your prosthetics with one predictable procedure.

This PANAVIA™ V5 video demonstrates the work flows for: 

- Zirconia crown cementation
- Laminate veneer cementation

Did you know that proteins compromising the bond strength of adhesive systems often remain on the preparation and the intaglio of the restoration after try-in?

You can efficiently and effectively remove them with KATANA™ Cleaner, as confirmed by the evaluators of REALITY Ratings & Reviews.

Veneers made of zirconia? In some cases, like the one presented below, monolithic zirconia veneers may be an option. Reasons for selecting a latest-generation zirconia such as “KATANA™ Zirconia” YML include its very high translucency and a wall thickness of only 0.3 to 0.4 mm supporting minimally invasive tooth preparation. Due to a highly automated production procedure, the manual effort involved may be reduced, while highly aesthetic outcomes are possible.

That’s what we call Intelligent Simplification.

Case by Adham Elsayed

If we ask dental patients what they expect from direct restorative treatments, they will most probably mention a quick procedure – as nobody wants to sit in a dental chair for a long time – and highly aesthetic outcomes. Reducing the treatment time is also something every dental practitioner should strive for, as their own time is the most precious asset they have. Fortunately, saving time becomes easy when appropriate high-quality materials and techniques are selected, as demonstrated using the following patient case.

The patient presented with several small carious lesions in the lower anterior region. In order to save time without compromising the quality of the outcomes, it was decided to opt for a simultaneous direct treatment approach involving the use of a universal adhesive and a universal restorative with a streamlined shade offering. It consists of two shades for the anterior region, which are typically applied in a single-shade approach and have optimized optical properties that allow for a smooth optical integration. The images shown below speak for themselves…

New bottle design for an even more convenient handling.

PANAVIA™ V5 is the strongest and most aesthetic resin cement Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc. has ever developed. This does not leave much room for improvement. Nevertheless, Kuraray Noritake Dental has found a way to make this excellent cementation system even better. By changing the bottle design of PANAVIA™ V5 Tooth Primer and CLEARFIL™ CERAMIC PRIMER PLUS, the company provides for simplified handling, improved hygiene and minimized material waste.

The new bottles have a compact body and a flip-top cap designed for easy opening, dispensing and closing with just one hand. A unique nozzle is responsible for controlled dispensing of the tooth primer and the ceramic primer, which leads to minimal material waste during application. Drop control also leaves the surfaces clean after use, which facilitates hygiene measures that are now more important than ever before. Together, these design features make the dental practitioner’s life a lot easier in the busy practice environment, while providing for clean and safe dental procedures that support a high quality of care.

An exceptionally high quality of care is already a major reason for dental practitioners around the world to opt for PANAVIA™ V5: the true dual-cure, fluoride-releasing, colour-stable, universal resin cement provides self-cure dentin bond strengths that are equal to those achieved by CLEARFIL™ SE BOND, a gold-standard light-curing bonding agent. The exceptionally high bond strengths obtained not only on dentin, but also on enamel in the self-cure mode are due to innovative catalysts in the MDP-based PANAVIA™ V5 Tooth Primer. The also MDP-based CLEARFIL™ CERAMIC PRIMER PLUS, on the other side, develops an exceptionally strong and long-lasting bond to all silica-based ceramics, zirconia, composites and metals.This makes PANAVIA™ V5 the go-to solution for all types of indirect restorations.

On top of that, PANAVIA™ V5 exceeds the aesthetic expectations of its users as it comes in five beautiful shades that are colour-stable over time, and create beautiful margins. Predicting the final aesthetic outcome is easy with the aid of five matching try-in pastes. With the newly designed primer bottles, the cementation system offers an even more convenient handling and hygienic use than it used to, while maintaining its strengths related to clinical performance.
