Core Build Up - Core-Flo
The core build up procedure reconstructs missing tooth structure to create a stable foundation for full coverage restorations.
BISCO Recommends
Universal Primer and Core-Flo™ DC or DC Lite promote adhesion to dentin and enamel and are compatible with dual-cure materials. The adhesive provides a low film thickness seal, while Core-Flo offers dual-cure polymerization, high strength, and flowable handling for adaptable core build-ups.

STEP 1
Isolate
Isolate tooth and prepare accordingly. Rinse and dry.
STEP 2
Dispense
Dispense 1-2 drops of Universal Primer™ parts A & B into a clean well. Apply two separate coats of Universal Primer™ parts A & B, scrubbing the preparation with a microbrush for 10-15 seconds per coat.
STEP 3
Evaporate
Evaporate excess solvent by thoroughly air-drying with an air syringe for at least 10 seconds; there should be no visible movement of the adhesive. The surface should have a uniform glossy appearance; otherwise, apply an additional coat of Universal Primer parts A & B and air dry.
STEP 4
Place
Place the end of the intra-oral tip directly onto the preparation, and express Core-Flo DC or Core-Flo DC Lite.
STEP 5
Light cure
Light cure the Core-Flo DC or Core-Flo DC Lite for 40 seconds and continue with final preparation.
