TOKYO, Japan: After a FirstLook evaluation that was published in May 2022, a team of evaluators from REALITY Ratings & Reviews thoroughly tested PANAVIA Veneer LC in the clinical practice environment, leading to a great outcome. The purely light-cured resin cement received 4.6 out of 5 stars in REALITY’s Five Star Award, the most convincing features being its handling and viscosity.

Whereas most of the evaluators used PANAVIA Veneer LC for the permanent cementation of veneers, some also tested the onlay indication (restricted to high-translucency materials of a material-specific maximum thickness). Those who decided to polish the margins (43%) found that the resin cement could be polished well with little effort. Among the handling properties highlighted were easy seating with virtually no drifting, non-stickiness and easy excess removal—both after tack curing and in the cement’s uncured state. In addition, the evaluators praised the minimal film thickness and favourable viscosity, which had a considerable impact on the ease of seating. The working time was sufficient for all evaluators, independent of the variables in their ways of working. These variables included filtering or blocking dental unit light or not doing so and placing either multiple veneers simultaneously or only one veneer at a time.

PANAVIA Veneer LC is available in four shades—Clear, Universal/A2, Brown/A4 and White—and this shade offering was regarded as adequate by most evaluators (79%), the most popular shade being Clear. One evaluator stated: “I think the Clear shade is my new favourite. It seems to have a brightness to it compared with other clear or translucent cements.” Being the only shade with a high opacity, White was found to have a decisive impact on the appearance of the final restoration. The try-in pastes were well received for their handling and for their ability to be easily rinsed off.

The PANAVIA Veneer LC kit is available in Europe and consists of PANAVIA Veneer LC Paste, PANAVIA V5 Tooth Primer and CLEARFIL CERAMIC PRIMER PLUS. Hence, it builds confidence by sharing primers with the proven PANAVIA V5, and its long working time and specific handling properties add extra benefits that are extremely valuable during veneer cementation.
