Description 

LuxaCore Z-Dual from DMG America, the ultra-strong, ultra-reliable core build-up material created with zirconia.  Its combination of zirconia filler with DMG's patented nanotechnology means it significantly improves strength, flowability and physical properties - it's the ultimate in resin technology!  LuxaCore Z-Dual also works for your post cementing needs.  Available in Natural, Blue and Light Opaque shades.

SHADES AVAILABLE:

• Natural (A3) : For optimal esthetic results
• Blue: For distinguishing the core material from tooth structure
• Light Opaque: For the perfect balance of contrast and esthetics.

INDICATIONS:

• All types of core build-up
• Cementation of root posts

CONTRAINDICATIONS:

Do not use the material in cases of allergies to any of the components, in particular benzoyl peroxide, or in the event of contact allergies

Do not use the material with a single-bottle bond because an optimum adhesive bond is generally not assured with chemical or dual-cure materials

Do not use the material if a dry working environment is not possible
