BISCO is proud to introduce the next advancement in adhesive cementation – DUO-LINK UNIVERSAL! With its high radiopacity, extremely simple clean-up, industry leading strength, and superior chemistry – you’ll now only need one cement for all your indirect restorations!

Preserving and sealing the tooth provides immediate assurance and subsequent diagnostic support of your perfect restoration. The decision to institute DUO-LINK UNIVERSAL is important to continually improve cementation protocols, team confidence and the delivery of oral care. Creating a better experience for the patient is often dependent and reflective upon the type of dental materials that are used. This has become increasingly important when cementing restorations, specifically when you are striving for fast, easy and reliable, sensitive-free results.

BISCO has continually developed “cutting edge” products by your design. To accomplish this, we rely on the expertise and insight from our customers to guide us in the development of the most efficient and effective dental products in the market. Together, with your feedback and over 18 years of proven success with DUO-LINK™, we have created DUO-LINK UNIVERSAL.
