DMG LuxaCore Z- Dual AutoMix (AM)/ SmartMix (SM)

Luxacore – Premium composite for core build-up and root post cementation

Cuttability like Dentin

LuxaCore Z is DMG’s premium composite for core build-ups and post cementation. LuxaCore Z provides dentine-like cuttability, which ensures controlled substance removal and a precise preparation margin. LuxaCore Z gives you optimal guidance control of the bur.

At the transitions between dentine and LuxaCore Z you will not notice any difference. This tactile stability permits groove-free preparations without any undercuts, presenting ideal conditions for the dental technician to perform precise work.

It is a Critical property in resin core materials:-

• A dentin-like cutting rate and feel is highly desirable
• “Substance Removal” tests determine a material’s cutting rate
• LuxaCore Z Dual has a cutting rate virtually identical to natural dentin

Increased compression strength and polishing values thanks to DMG’s patented nanotechnology

Benefits of Nano Particles

1. Tougher, more durable, resilient ”glue” to hold the composite together
2. Improves the composite’s physical properties and flow characteristics
3. Affects the surface tackiness of the composite thus the workability of the material

Zirconium Oxide as a filler

• Vastly improved compressive strength of 380 MPa
• Flexural modulus close to that of natural tooth structure allows LuxaCore Z Dual and tooth structure to react nearly identically to load forces
• Result: fewer micro-cracks
• Zirconia is a ceramic material and has Nonmetallic-biocompatibility with no danger of adverse reactions. It is 1,000 times stronger than steel but much lighter in weight.

Superior values

• LuxaCore Z-Dual is closer to natural dentine than any other product in market in terms of cutability.
• The proportion of zirconia gives excellent compressive strength.
• This ensures top-quality, natural restorations – and this has been confirmed in figures.

Perfect flow

• Excellent flow properties
• The material‘s outstanding flow properties guarantee optimum adaptation to the shape of cavity walls and posts.

Low film thickness

• When used as a post cement, the thin film thickness of just 20 μm is beneficial (the limit for precision cement according to ISO 4049 is 25 μm).

Monoblock

Monoblock = Stability.

• More haste less speed. Just a single material for core build-up and post cementation – that simplifies the work and creates reliable restorations.
• LuxaCore Z can be used with any pre-silanized post.
• Using just a small number of matched materials gives a very stable Monoblock. Stresses can be avoided in the sensitive system comprising tooth, post, cement, and core build-up material.

Fewer materials = a more reliable solution

• Good physical properties: light transmission, flexural strength, elasticity modulus
• Stress reduction
• Reduced risk of root fractures
• Minimized tension peaks
• Anatomical form for substance saving treatments
• Protection against bacterial leakage (coronal and apical)
• Long lasting and beautiful restoration
• High esthetics
• Cost saving

The result: excellent fit, a long-lasting restoration and the best possible care for your patient.The right partners allow quality care to be provided perfectly.
