Pulpdent Corporation’s HardCore™ is a two-paste dual cure composite restorative and core build-up material with fluoride release. Its off-white color makes it easily distinguishable from tooth structure and does not create shadows in crowns. HardCore mixes well, resists slumping, and syringes easily through small tips for direct placement. HardCore can also be cured both chemically and by light. The chemical cure is completed in eight minutes from the beginning of the mixing process and can be accelerated by using a curing light. HardCore’s core forms are available in four sizes and have a tab on the top for easy pick up and placement with a cotton pliers or hemostat. Their design allows for accurate contouring, precise sizing, and fast removal. Made of clear polyethylene for light curing, the forms are easily trimmed and do not stick to the core material.
HardCore is available in kit form with two 10-gram jars of base, two 10-gram jars of catalyst, 20 assorted core forms, mixing pad and spatulas. The HardCore refill consists of 10-gram jars of both the base and the catalyst. Both are available through dental dealers.
