Inside!
Create core build-ups
that withstand the stresses of the mouth over time and support
your crown and bridge restorations. Premier® CompCore™
AF Dual-Cure delivers consistent results due to our patented use
of nano-technology.
Understanding today's
composite-resin materials requires a brief review of modern polymer
chemistry. Molecular polymerization in all composites occurs
by linking together monomers in a chemical reaction. The
resulting structure of the molecule/polymer is always linear or
chain-like. CompCore AF Dual-Cure is the first and only
dental material to incorporate a novel, hyper-branched molecule
that changes molecular architecture from a conventional linear
chain to a multi-branched sphere. The branches represent
multiple functional end-groups that permit custom tailoring of
the mechanical properties of the composite core material.
A dental material that
is easy to use and can endure in a hot, wet environment and exhibit
physical properties similar to tooth structure is the ideal.
The unique spherical molecule in a CompCore AF core is like a
tree made up of dense branches. Each branch holds a specific,
clinically important physical property: low shrinkage, high compressive
strength, fracture toughness, and resistance to soluble fluids.
By embedding this patented, multi-branched, spherical polymer
within a conventional bis-GMA composite, we are able to place
these properties where we want them on a nano-scale and design
how we want them to contribute. Simply stated, you have
an optimum combination of enhanced mechanical properties unattainable
in conventional formulas working together to ensure a long-lasting
restoration.
Nano-technology means
a whole lot more than simply placing small particle fillers in
composites. It heralds a new class of "smarter"
dental materials. Nano-technology is the ability to micro-engineer
and actually tail molecules, on this molecular scale, to deliver
physical properties like superior strength, reduced shrinkage,
optimum viscosity, and faster and more complete curing.
CompCore AF Dual-Cure from Premier Dental Products Company represents
a unique dental material that prolongs the life of the restoration,
providing dentists and their patients with a reliable, enduring
core material.
Make sure that your core build-ups have "nano-technology"
inside. CompCore AF Dual-cure is easy to use for consistent
restorative outcomes. To learn more about using CompCore
