Coltene Paracore Kit Core Build Up Material

Coltene ParaCore Kit – Core Build-Up Material

Coltene ParaCore is a dual-cured, glass-reinforced, radiopaque composite system designed to simplify post and core restorative procedures. It is suitable for post cementation, core build-ups, and cementation of indirect restorations such as crowns and bridges. ParaCore is available in multiple shades to meet both functional and esthetic requirements.

When used as a fixing and abutment material, ParaCore establishes an optimal monoblock bond interface between dentin, post, and crown. This integrated bonding concept results in restorations with exceptionally high strength, long-term durability, and improved clinical longevity.

The ParaCore system is complemented by a perfectly matched bond and cement system, forming a closed product chain that ensures predictable and stable clinical outcomes. The ParaCore SLOW version offers extended working time, making it ideal for large restorations and stress-free post cementation.

Indications :

• Permanent cementation of all types of root canal posts
• Core build-ups
• Permanent cementation of crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays (ceramic, metal, and composite)

Features :

• One material for three key indications: post cementation, core build-ups, and crown & bridge cementation
• Available in three shades: dentin, white, and translucent
• Optimal monoblock bond interface between dentin, post, and crown
• Superior bond strength and long-term durability
• Stable handling consistency
• Contains fluoride
• Radiopaque for easy radiographic assessment
• Extended working time with ParaCore SLOW (up to 60 seconds at 37°C)
• ParaCore SLOW can be injected directly into the root canal using a fine root-canal mixing tip

Direction to Use :

For Post Cementation :

• Apply chemically cured ParaBond Adhesive into the prepared post space and onto contact surfaces
• Inject ParaCore directly into the root canal using the root canal tip
• Cement the post into the root canal
• Remove excess ParaCore material

For Core Build-Ups :

• Perform freehand core build-up using ParaCore
• Manually contour the core build-up
• Prepare the crown using suitable diamond instruments
