HARDCORE
Instructions For Use
For Post Core Build Ups:
  1. Prepare root canal for a post and cement post into place.
  2. Select a copper band or clear core form that fits snugly around the cervical area of the tooth.
  3. For maximum adhesion apply DenTASTIC UNO-DUO , DenTASTIC All Purpose or your preferred dentin bonding adhesive, in accordance with instructions for use.
  4. Mix equal amounts of HardCore part A and B until it is uniform color, about 20 seconds. Place caps on jars immediately after use.
  5. Fill copper band with HardCore or fill core form and place onto tooth.
  6. If a transparent form is used, setting can be accelerated by light curing for 40 seconds. Chemical cure continues thereafter until reaction is complete. HardCore chemically cures without the use of a light in 8 minutes from the beginning of mix.

For Teeth With a Previously Existing Crown:

  1. If tooth is non vital, prepare root canal for a post and cement post into place.
  2. If tooth is vital, remove all caries, and in deep cavities, place Pulpdent Cavity Liner on the pulpal floor. Place retention pins, if desired.
  3. Check to make sure existing crown fits over post or pins.
  4. For maximum adhesion apply DenTASTIC UNO-DUO , DenTASTIC All Purpose or your preferred dentin bonding adhesive in accordance with instructions for use.
  5. Smooth the inside of the existing crown with a bur and remove any undercuts. Place a separating medium or a thin film of Vaseline or wax inside the crown.
  6. Mix equal amounts of HardCore Parts A and B to a uniform color, about 20 seconds, and fill the crown with HardCore. Place caps on jars immediately after use.
  7. Seat crown into position over the post or pins.
  8. Remove excess material from the cervical line of the tooth and allow to chemical cure. Chemical cure is complete 8 minutes from beginning of mix.
  9. Carefully remove crown and clean out separating medium.
  10. Remove flash from the cervical line of the tooth and cement the crown.

For Restoring Endodontically Treated Teeth With Superstructures Still Intact:

  1. Remove all root canal filling material from the chamber and partially remove
    from root canal(s).
  2. If any sidewalls are missing, place a matrix band.
  3. For maximum adhesion apply DenTASTIC UNO-DUO , DenTASTIC All Purpose or your preferred dentin bonding adhesive in accordance with instructions for use.
  4. Mix equal parts of HardCore Parts A and B to a uniform color, about 20 seconds. Place caps on jars immediately after use.
  5. Fill the entire tooth with HardCore and allow to chemically cure, or light cure if appropriate. The syringe technique works very well for placing HardCore.
