The Partnership Principle.

LuxaCore | LuxaPost | LuxaBond | Silane

A reliable system for post-endodontic restorations.
For years LuxaCore has been the dentists material of choice for core
build-up and post cementations worldwide. With LuxaPost DMG
now offers a post specifically tailored to the successful composite.

Advantages
Homogeneous monoblock
Reliable bond
Safe working

And to complete its product range DMG now offers the adhesive
system LuxaBond-Total Etch and the DMG Silane. In combination
these four specialty products make up a carefully coordinated system
for professional post-endodontic restorations thus creating the
prerequisites for reliable success.

The reliable system

Core build-up and post cementation with 5 Stars.

LuxaCore is a worldwide successful composite specially developed for core build-up
and post cementation. No other material comes closer to matching the properties
of the natural tooth. Therefore LuxaCore behaves like dentine thus facilitating an effortless and smooth core preparation. Other vital advantages are the materials excellent flow properties and outstanding compressive strength. The independent
test institute REALITY honored these superior qualities with the highest rating, the
Five Star Award.

LuxaCore

LuxaPost
The DMG quality post.
LuxaPost is a glass fiber reinforced composite post which can be optimally cemented with the adhesive composite LuxaCore. Its flexural modulus is very similar to
that of LuxaCore as well as the natural dentine. Thus LuxaPost and LuxaCore form a
homogeneous unit in the sensitive system consisting of root, post, cement and core

LuxaPost

build-up material. And, due to LuxaPosts tapered form, the treatment is particularly
gentle on the tooth substance.

LuxaBond-Total Etch
This dual-curing adhesive system is particularly suited for indirect techniques.
LuxaBond-Total Etch is perfectly compatible with all commercially available self-curing

LuxaBond-Total Etch

and dual-curing materials such as LuxaCore, Vitique und PermaCem. Since it cures
without light it is especially well-suited for challenging adhesive cementations of
posts, core build-ups, inlays, onlays, crowns, and bridges. The specially shaped Endobrushes ensure a reliable application in the root canal.

Silane
As a perfect complement to LuxaPost DMG now offers its own silane. The new Silane establishes a reliable bond between the post and the luting composite. The
system consists of an adhesive silane and an activator. The components are mixed
in a 1:1 ratio before the application. Advantage compared to pre-hydrolized 1-bottle systems: a fresh mix for each application provides a better bond.
On the following pages we will introduce the four components for perfect post-endodontic restorations in detail.

As the perfect partner for LuxaPost and LuxaCore, LuxaBond-Total Etch completes
the DMG product range for post-endodontic restorations. It is also well-suited for
inlay cementations. The materials self-curing properties prevent premature polymerization of pools on the cavity bottom (pooling effect) and facilitate polyme-

be combined with LuxaCore-Dual for core build-ups or adhesive cementations of
crowns and bridges with Vitique or PermaCem. For these applications optional
light-curing is possible as well.

In order to provide a better adhesion the system includes a Pre-Bond which is ap-

already cured before the application of the restorative material provides a better
retention than two-bottle systems which only cure in combination with the restorative material. In addition, the accelerating function of the Pre-Bond enables a
