Q Core / Q Core Syringable

Q Core / Q Core Syringable

Dual-cure composite core build-up material
  • A dual-cure, radiopaque resin composite material designed for the fabrication of core build-ups.
  • May be used with any Bis-GMA compatible bonding agent.
  • Used for core build-ups in vital and non-vital teeth.
  • A restorative material.
  • ISO 4049 classification: Type 2, Class 3.
  • Easy to use.
  • Provides a consistent, homogeneous mix.
  • A dual-cure composite – it has a self-curing mechanism which can also be light cured. The self-curing assures that the material can be quickly bulk filled.
  • Dense void-free core: cuts like dentin.
  • Radiopacity value above 4.0 mm Aluminium. (Radiopacity is defined as the ability of a material to be visible in x-ray photographs.)
  • Superior compressive strength for long-lasting
  • Available in 3 shades: A3, White and Blue. To see shade guide visit bjmlabs.com.
  • Marketed since 2004 with no changes in formula. No complaints of any health-related or chemical performance issues were received.
