LuxaCore Z Dual (AutoMix 50g) - DMG

With zirconium dioxide and nanotechnology for the best results.

Why all nanotechnology isn‘t the same. 
Theuse ofnanotechnology generallyinvolves particleagglomeration. In other words, the particles within the resin matrix form »lumps«. This, however, adversely affects desired and beneficial properties such as the compressive strength and the good grinding characteristics. The special nanotechnology in LuxaCore Z that has been patented by DMG prevents this particle agglomeration. The particles remain separated from each other and the material can then exploit the full potential of nanotechnology.

Superior values. 
LuxaCore Z-Dualiscloserto natural dentine than the competition in terms of cutability. Moreover, the proportion of zirconia gives excellent compressive strength. This ensures top-quality, natural restorations – and this has been  confirmed in figures as well, as shown in the graphs on the right.

Excellent flow properties.
The material‘s outstanding flow properties guarantee optimum  adaptation to the shape of cavity walls and posts. When used as a post cement, the thin film thickness of just 20 µm is beneficial (the limit for precision cement according to ISO 4049 is 25 µm).

Monoblock = Stability. 
More haste less speed. Just a single material for core build-up and post cementation – that simplifies the work and creates reliable restorations. LuxaCore Z can be used with any pre-silanized post. DMG‘s LuxaPost  is recommended as the perfect partner. This glass fiber reinforced composite post has a similar flexural modulus to LuxaCore Z and natural dentine. Using just a small number of matched materials gives a very stable  monoblock. Stresses can be avoided in the sensitive system comprising  tooth, post, cement, and core build-up material.

The partnership principle.

Nothing beats a well-matched team.

The perfect partner to LuxaCore Z-Dual is LuxaPost, DMG‘s high-quality glass fiber reinforced composite post. The system is completed by the LuxaBond-Total Etch dual-curing adhesive system. Together, these specialist products are a finely-tuned system for professional post-endodontic restorations. All are also available together in a practical system pack.

Post & bonding agent from the same family. 
DMG‘s radiopaque, pre-silanized LuxaPost can be cemented perfectly with LuxaCore Z. Its flexural modulus is similar to that of LuxaCore Z – and to dentine as well. For simple handling it is available in a convenient package that makes it easy to remove and refill the LuxaPost boxes.

The LuxaBond-Total Etch dual-curing adhesive system is particularly suitable for adhesive cementation of posts, core build-ups, inlays, onlays, crowns, and bridges. Specially shaped Endobrushes simplify application in the root canal. LuxaBond-Total Etch is compatible with all commercially available self-curing and dual-curing materials such as LuxaCore, Vitique, and PermaCem.

Glass fiber reinforced composite post with a similar flexural modulus to dentine.

True-to-life properties As with LuxaCore Z, the properties of the material in LuxaPost are also based on the model of a natural tooth. LuxaPost‘s low flexural modulus (a measure of the elasticity or stiffness) corresponds closely to that of natural dentine. This minimizes peak stresses in the post-cement-root system and lowers the risk of root fractures. The high degree of transparency prevents the post from shining through the tooth. It is therefore no barrier to esthetic restorations.

Pre-silanized and radiopaque To meet the needs of your practice in full, the new generation of LuxaPost is radiopaque and already pre-silanized. This simplifies the handling and reduces the treatment cost. Additional silane is no longer needed. For all dentists who don’t want to do without the extra silanization step, DMG still offers the DMG silane system  as a reliable two-bottle system.

LuxaBond-Total Etch

Dual-curing adhesive system

Flexible range of applications LuxaBond-Total Etch is the final component in DMG‘s product range for post-endodontic restorations. The adhesive system is also suitable for fixing inlays. Self-curing does more than just allow it to be used in areas that the light does not reach. Even the unwanted premature curing of pools on the floor of the cavity (the »pooling effect«) can be avoided, as the curing can also be done entirely after insertion of the post. LuxaBond-Total Etch can generally be used with LuxaCoreZ-Dual for core build-up or for adhesive cementation of crowns and bridges with Vitique or PermaCem. In these cases, there is the option of curing it with light.

Reliable bond The pre-bonding that facilitates the superior bonding properties of the system is applied after separate etching of the enamel and the dentine. It ensures that the bonding mixture (consisting of components A and B) hardens very quickly after application to the tooth material. It means that a ready-made anchor layer is present even before the introduction of the restoration material. In addition, the pre-bonding allows a longer processing time for the bonding mixture, as its curing is only accelerated when it comes into contact with the pre-bond. For easy handling, the order of application is specified on the bottles, with color codes to indicate the bond components.
