Connexio® 

Connexio 8th generation bonding agent provides the greatest flexibility and effective curing with all types of composite resins and is especially effective for post-Endo restorative treatment. Self-cure, light-cure, or dual cure! Connexio is the perfect complement to Encore® D/C core buildup composite material, providing dual curing deep in the canal, to the bottom of the post space, for a completely polymerized, integrated tooth/core/post monobloc. Spot light-cure for immediate, easy core shaping; self-cure helps virtually eliminate polymerization shrinkage between material and dentin walls, preventing the micro-gaps where bacteria, fluids and ions can accumulate. The self-etching ability of Connexio provides strong dentin bonds without the need for a separate acid-etching step. And, Connexio is nanoparticle reinforced to provide bond strengths that last longer. Connexio tolerates residual moisture and is the optimal bonding agent for dual-cure composite materials, such as Encore D/C.

• Easy, fast mix (Part A + Part B) provides so many more clinical benefits: faster, more flexible, lowest polymerization shrinkage
• Self-etch adhesive eliminates the need for extra steps.
• For direct or indirect applications.
• Nanoparticle reinforced for strength and durability.
• Permanent, tight margins resulting from this specially designed multi-modality curing.
• Equivalent adhesive properties to enamel and dentin.
• Unique solvent (water + ethyl alcohol) results in bonding that is more tolerant to moisture and humidity than other adhesives.
• Greater rate of monomer conversion due to self-cure activation as part of dual-cure material.

Dentin bond strength: 39.3 Mpa

Enamel bond strength: 24.5 Mpa

Note: It is recommended to selective etch enamel for maximum bond strengths. Selective etching will increase enamel bond strength on unetched enamel.
