Using a light-cure kit allows for precise placement of the bonding agent and ensures a stronger, more reliable bond than achieved with traditional methods. Additionally, light-cure kits offer the ability to customise the bond strength to suit the specific needs of each restoration, providing greater control over the outcome.

When choosing a light-cure kit, it is essential to consider factors such as bond strength, versatility, ease of use, and compatibility with various restorative materials.

• Henry Schein Maxima Natural Elegance 7 Universal Bond: If you’re looking for a light-cured universal bond that can be used in self-etch, selective etch, or total etch techniques, Henry Schein’s Maxima Natural Elegance 7 Universal Bond is an excellent choice. With its precise application and high bond strength of 19.5-26.9MPa depending on use, this bond is perfect for bonding to composites, ceramics, zirconium oxide, titanium, and gold without requiring any additional silane or primer.
• Henry Schein Natural Elegance Single Coat Bond: For those looking for a one-component adhesive, the Natural Elegance Single Coat Bond is a great option. It is a light-cured, multipurpose adhesive with a bond strength between 22-36MPa depending on use. This adhesive is perfect for bonding composite materials to natural enamel and dentine, bonding compomer materials, and dentine sealing. Furthermore, it is solvent-free, making it safer for both the patient and the practitioner.
• Henry Schein Maxima Natural Elegance 7th Generation Single Bond: Another excellent option is the Maxima Natural Elegance 7th Generation Single Bond: a light-cured, self-etching adhesive with excellent shear bond strength, making it ideal for bonding composites, ceramics, and compomers to natural enamel and dentine, as well as dentine sealing. These light-cure kits and adhesives provide the perfect solution for bonding dental materials to the natural tooth structure, ensuring long-lasting and reliable restorations.

Dental cements and liners provide a strong, durable bond between the restoration and the tooth structure. Cements are used to attach restorations to the tooth surface, while liners are used to provide a protective barrier between the restoration and the tooth structure.

• Henry Schein Maxima Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Luting Cement: For dentists looking for a high-quality cement that offers excellent bond strength and long-term durability, Maxima Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Luting Cement is an excellent choice. Offering easy handling for accurate placement, a fast setting time to minimise the risk of contamination, and high radiopacity for the easy detection of any issues, the Maxima cement is compatible with a variety of restorative materials, including ceramics, metals, and composites, and can resist dissolution and wear over time to ensure long-lasting results.
• Henry Schein RGI Fill Powder: For a radiopaque glass ionomer filling material featuring high compressive strength, look no further than the Henry Schein RGI range, supplied in powder form for easy mixing with water, and featuring excellent translucency and biocompatibility. RGI Fill Powder delivers good chemical adhesion to tooth structure, and can be used for Class III and V cavities, posterior cavities in deciduous teeth and selected permanent teeth, “sticky” pits and fissures, core build-up, and MI treatments.

When it comes to choosing a temporary cement, you want a material that is reliable, consistent, and delivers ideal provisional restorations accurately. The ideal cement should also have ease of mixing and application, optimised film thickness, and ideal clean-up properties.

At Henry Schein we offer a range of temporary cements that meet all these requirements. Our polycarboxylate-based temporary luting cement is indicated for routine temporisation of provisionals, and the non-eugenol temporary cements are appropriate for patients who are sensitive to eugenol, or in cases where eugenol may affect the polymerisation of other materials.

Henry Schein temporary cements have an ideal viscosity for accurate seating and temporisation. Additionally, the non-eugenol temporary cement will not interfere with resin bonding, making it well suited for provisional cementation of crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and endodontic access.
