Multilink® Automix “Easy” Now Available Easier Excess Cement Clean-up With High Bond Strengths

Amherst, NY (January 5, 2009) – In response to market demands, Ivoclar

Vivadent is pleased to introduce Multilink® Automix “Easy”. This new “Easy

Clean-Up” formulation of the clinically proven self-curing luting composite with

light-curing option now offers extended clean-up time for those dentists choosing

to pre-polymerize excess material with a dental curing light. Additionally, dentists

will still recognize all of the Multilink Automix advantages: high immediate bond

strengths; efficient, durable adhesion; good marginal adaptation and effective

sealing of the dentin; uncomplicated application technique; and an ability to

cement restorations made from metal, metal-ceramic, all-ceramic, and composite

materials.

To use the new Multilink Automix “Easy Clean-Up” formulation and

“Quarter Technique” to remove excess cement, dentists simply light-cure excess

material for 2 to 4 seconds per quarter surface (ie, mesio-oral, disto-oral, mesio-

buccal, disto-buccal). This causes the excess cement to obtain a gel-like

consistency so that it can be easily removed with a scaler.

Due to its patented, hydrolytically stable phosphoric acids (acidic

monomers), Multilink Automix “Easy” is capable of meeting the expectations of

(more)

dentists and their patients regarding high bond strength and efficient, durable

adhesion. Within only 10 minutes, Multilink Automix “Easy” establishes a reliable

and long-lasting bond to a large variety of restorative materials. What’s more,

Multilink Automix continues to be ideal for cases that require fast and reliable

self-curing (chemical curing) and/or do not allow cementation to be completed

with light-curing due to restricted access to light (eg, oxide ceramics).

Multilink Automix “Easy” is available in system packs that include the

Multilink® Primer A/B in shades opaque, yellow and transparent, the

metal/zirconia primer, Monobond-S, the Automix syringe, and various

accessories. Refills of each Multilink Automix “Easy” shade syringe, as well as

the Primers, Monobond-S, and mixing tips, also are available separately.
