TOKYO, Japan: PANAVIA SA Cement Universal adheres to virtually all substrates, including lithium disilicate, in a single procedure without the need for a separate primer or silane. It also offers easy, gingiva-friendly removal of excess cement and requires no refrigeration. DENTAL ADVISOR has recognised PANAVIA SA Cement Universal with a Top Product Award in the category of indirect restoratives.

PANAVIA SA Cement Universal combines two innovative technologies in a single product, thereby making it possible to achieve a strong and durable bond without the added step of applying a separate substrate. The silane coupling agent LCSi monomer establishes a durable chemical bond with porcelain, lithium disilicate and composite resin, and the original MDP monomer provides for chemical reactiveness with zirconia, dentine and enamel.

The result is a convenient, versatile and efficacious single solution for practitioners’ everyday cementation needs for a wide variety of indications, including cementation of crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, posts, splints and even resin-bonded bridges.

The significant benefits and quality of PANAVIA SA Cement Universal are reflected in the study findings and feedback from the 31 DENTAL ADVISOR clinical evaluators, who used the cement in 516 applications and gave it an overall clinical rating of 96%. Their comments on its ease of use, handling characteristics and aesthetics included “Good flow and film thickness”, “Amazing viscosity, tack cure ability and very easy clean-up” and “Great colour match and I liked the universal ability to work with so many substrates”.

The Top Product or Preferred Product Awards conferred by US-based DENTAL ADVISOR were introduced to help busy practitioners make sense of the numerous new solutions on the market in order to allow them to use less invasive techniques and standardised or simplified procedures and achieve better outcomes on a regular basis. DENTAL ADVISOR conducts its practice-based clinical evaluations and product performance tests shortly after product launch and publishes results annually online to help potential users identify high-quality new dental materials and determine which among them are best suited to fulfil their individual requirements.
