Predicta® Bioactive Core Build-Up

SKU: PBCGROUP

Dual-Cure Composite for Core Build-Ups and Post Cementations

Optimized for placement in teeth that require core build-ups, with or without posts, prior to the prepping, impressioning, fabrication, and cementation of a crown.

Predicta® Bioactive Core is bioactive and releases calcium and phosphate ions and releases and recharges fluoride ions to stimulate mineral apatite formation and remineralization at the material-tooth interface.

Dual-cure for unlimited depth of cure
Zirconia added to improve the prepping experience
Indicated for core build-ups and as a post cement
Strong and stable support for crowns made of zirconia, porcelain, PFM and metal
Multiple viscosities

What is Bioactivity?
Bioactivity is known in the field to equate to stronger bonds between the restoration and tooth, penetration and filling of micro-gaps, reduction in sensitivity, guard against secondary caries, and the sealing of margins against microleakage.

How to Choose the Right Viscosity
Parkell offers Predicta® Bioactive Core in a variety of viscosity options to best fit your procedures and preferences.

Stackable (High Viscosity):
Ideally suited to minimize crown prepping time, when placing larger core build-ups where stackability results in a more centralized core, and less excess in areas that would require removal during prepping.

Flowable (Low Viscosity):
Recommended for cases where post cementation and core build-ups are done together. The lower viscosity promotes better canal adaptation and less hydrostatic resistance during seating of the post into the canal.

Both Stackable and Flowable Predicta Core versions are appropriate for, and can be used in all core build-up and post cementation situations. These guideline should be considered an aid when choosing which build-up material more closely matches your needs and preferences.

Product Insight

"I was attracted to the idea of placing a core— especially in hard-to-reach areas—that had a regenerative effect. It’s really about trying to increase the quality of care I provide. If the core material has a regenerative effect, and protects and/or strengthens the tooth structure around it, that should result in longer-lasting restorations.” – James M. Cavanaugh, DMD

“Having the ability to rebuild a prosthetic abutment in only a few minutes, allows the clinician to spend more time performing other procedures (i.e. the finishing of the preparation) at the time of treatment as opposed to waiting till a second appointment. The consistency of the material is very similar to dentin due to the presence of zirconium dioxide. This makes the preparation phase of the abutment extremely easy. The fluidity and smoothness allows for easy cementation of root canal posts without forming bubbles or microgaps. This is particularly relevant at the tooth-restoration interface, which is often the critical portion of the restoration itself and could lead to early failure. The dual polymerization allows a complete conversion of the material in a few minutes, which is especially beneficial in areas that are difficult to reach by the curing light such as within the post space. Also, the high radiopacity is ideal to perform radiographic checks and detect any errors before proceeding with the finalization of the prosthetic case.” – Dr. Alessandro Colella (Italy)

“Our objective is always simplifying the procedure and limiting the usage of materials. Predicta Core meets such needs and those of our patients, who want high quality but fast reconstructions.” – Dr. Giuseppe Chiodera, StyleItaliano Honorary Member

“The closer you can get to natural tooth structure, I think the better off patients can be. Because we are releasing natural components, to me that is a huge benefit especially when we are looking out for the patients overall well-being and total health.” – Douglas Olson, DDS
