Pentron Clinical Build-It FR Fiber-Reinforced Core Build-Up Material, Dual-Cure, Shade A2 is used for building up the coronal tooth structure of endodontically treated and post-retained teeth to create the core foundation needed for crown and indirect restoration placement where adequate coronal tooth structure has been lost to caries, fracture, or previous restorative procedures and the remaining tooth structure alone is insufficient to retain the final crown restoration without an engineered core foundation. The fiber reinforcement of Build-It FR with specially treated glass fibers provides the material with a minimum compressive strength of 300 MPa, significantly exceeding the compressive strength of standard glass ionomer and conventional composite core build-up materials and providing the structural foundation strength needed to support the occlusal load transmitted through the crown restoration to the core and post-retained tooth structure during function.

Dual-cure chemistry provides the clinician with two curing pathways, allowing the material to self-cure to a hard consistency within minutes throughout the core volume in areas where the curing light cannot reach beneath the base of the core, while providing the option of light-curing the surface increment in seconds for immediate preparation of the core without waiting for the complete self-cure cycle, combining the reliable cure depth of a self-cure material with the immediate workability of a light-cure material. Restorative dentists and prosthodontists who perform core build-up procedures on endodontically treated and post-retained teeth before crown preparation find Pentron Clinical Build-It FR the fiber-reinforced dual-cure fluoride releasing 300 MPa radiopaque A2 25 mL cartridge refill core material for their active daily core build-up program. ? Each pack contains 1 x 25 mL (48g) cartridge of Pentron Clinical Build-It FR in Shade A2 along with 20 automix mixing tips and 20 intraoral tips, providing a per-pack core material supply for multiple core build-up procedures from a single cartridge. The 25 mL cartridge format requires the DS24 1:1/2:1 dispensing gun for dispensing and mixing through the included automix tips, which is the only dispenser gun compatible with the 25 mL Build-It FR cartridge format.

The 20 included mixing tips and 20 intraoral tips provide a per-procedure tip supply for multiple core build-up appointments from the single cartridge, with each procedure requiring one mixing tip and one intraoral tip for material dispensing. ? Pentron Clinical Build-It FR Core Material works through its fiber-reinforced dual-cure composite chemistry where the specially treated glass fibers distributed throughout the composite matrix provide the compressive strength enhancement that elevates the material's resistance to occlusal loading beyond the performance of non-fiber-reinforced core composites, supporting the functional demands placed on the core by the crown restoration during mastication. The unique viscosity of Build-It FR formulates the material to flow freely from the intraoral tip during initial dispensing into the prepared post-retained tooth, filling the root access and proximal box areas, while simultaneously providing sufficient body to be stacked and shaped into the desired core form above the gingival level without slumping away from the built form during placement. Fluoride release provides ongoing ionic fluoride availability at the tooth-core interface after placement.

Radiopacity allows the core to be distinguished from surrounding tooth structure on post-operative radiographs for monitoring of the restoration margins and post-core interface. The material cuts like dentin during crown preparation, providing a consistent cutting resistance at the core-dentin interface that does not create a distinct step in cutting feel as the bur transitions from core material to tooth structure during preparation. ? Restorative dentists who perform crown preparations on endodontically treated posterior teeth with extensive coronal tooth structure loss find Build-It FR provides the core foundation height and bulk needed for adequate crown preparation depth and retention form above the fiber post and remaining tooth structure. Prosthodontists who cement fiber posts and build up cores before full arch bridge and implant-supported crown preparation find the flowable-yet-stackable viscosity of Build-It FR facilitates efficient core placement and shaping across multiple abutment preparations in a single appointment. ? Pentron Clinical Build-It FR Fiber-Reinforced Core Build-Up Material, Shade A2 gives dental practices a 300 MPa fiber-reinforced, dual-cure, fluoride releasing, radiopaque, dentin-like core build-up material that flows and stacks without slumping, self-cures in minutes and light-cures in seconds, suitable for core build-up and post cementation, in a 25 mL cartridge refill with 20 mixing tips and 20 intraoral tips.
