Patients' aesthetic expectations are rising, which is fueling the popularity of all-ceramic crowns and fixed dental prostheses. Ceramic-based restorations have the potential to fracture due to the brittle nature of porcelain materials, which could be caused by a malfunction, trauma, or technical failure. For a variety of reasons, renewing the entire restoration is not always the most practical solution. It is time-consuming and costly, and there is a risk of damaging the remaining teeth and tissues, as well as the prepared abutment, while attempting to remove the restoration. The DSI Cera-Fix Repair Kit is a dependable, cost-effective, and quick alternative to replacement. A carefully matched, complete repair kit for composite-to-porcelain, porcelain-to-metal, and porcelain-to-porcelain repairs is made up of four innovative high quality components. DSI Cera-Fix Repair Kit optimizes restoration performance and ensures long-term success of the repair due to its exceptional high bonding values. A time-consuming and costly renewal of the entire restoration can be easily avoided with the help of the DSI Cera-Fix Repair Kit.
DSI Cera-Fix kits are available in two varieties:
- Porcelain etching kit (Cera-Fix Mini Etching set) + gingival barrier gel kit
- Repair kit for porcelain crowns (Cera-Fix Porcelain Fix Kit)
The CFX-Mini Etching Set includes the following items:
- Cera-Fix Etch - a viscous, specially buffered acid gel that will etch ceramics of all types to create a microscopic porous surface, allowing for strong mechanical interlocking with composite resin materials.
- Cera-Fix Protective Gel - It is critical to separate etching porcelain and tooth structure with appropriate acids. Applying rubber dam is not always possible, which is when the Cera-Fix Protective Dam Gel comes in handy. It isolates hard and soft tissues, neutralizes acid etchants when they come into contact with them, and protects soft tissues. It has a high contrast coloring and easily rinses after use.
The CFX-Chair-Side All-Inclusive Set includes:
- Cera-Fix Etch, 5 mL bottle
- Cera-Fix Protective Gel, 5 mL syringe
- Primer Adhesive, 5ml bottle - a silane coupling agent with a single component that improves the adhesive bond between porcelain and composite. It is used to improve the wettability of glass substrates by composite resins, to improve the physical, mechanical, and chemical bonding of composite to porcelain, and to provide greater resistance to water attack at the bonding interface solution.
- Opaque Masking 3ml syringe - can be used for pre-opaquing after preparation and before composite restoration to provide a more lifelike view and hide the metal parts under the chipped crown or to mask veneer fractures.
