German manufacturer VOCO is introducing with Cimara Zircon a new complete chairside Zirconia Repair System to restore permanent fractures in zirconium dioxide veneers and crowns in a few simple steps. It saves time and money avoiding second appointments, removal of the old restoration, impression taking, making of the provisional and lab bills.
The kit includes special zirconia grinding burs, a primer especially developed to bond to zirconium dioxide and its specific properties, an adhesive that bonds to all light, dual or self-cured composites and GrandioSO nano hybrid composite for the final esthetics. The primer/ adhesive system, is also available as a separate item, and can also be used to increase the bond strength of new zirconium dioxide restorations when using resin cement.
The repair with Cimara Zircon creates a permanent bond between zirconium dioxide ceramic and composite. The kit which was especially designed for zirconia repair includes all the matching materials and therefore results in much higher shear bond strength values than other repair systems that are only designed for traditional ceramic repair.
