Variolink Esthetic Trv-In To evaluate the overall effect of the restoration in conjunction with the various Variolink Esthetic shades prior to permanent cementation.

Device Story

Variolink Esthetic is a color-stable adhesive luting system for permanent cementation of ceramic and composite resin restorations. Available in light-curing (LC) and dual-curing (DC) versions; includes water-soluble glycerine Try-In pastes for shade visualization prior to cementation. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings. LC version dispensed via syringe; DC version dispensed via double-push syringes with mixing tips for ready-mixed application. System provides five shade gradations (Light+, Light, Neutral, Warm, Warm+). Enables clinicians to achieve aesthetic, durable bonding of restorations; Try-In pastes allow pre-cementation shade verification to ensure patient satisfaction with final appearance.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Device tested per ISO 4049:2009 for film thickness, depth of cure, ambient light sensitivity, working time, flexural strength, water sorption, solubility, and radiopacity. Biocompatibility assessed per EN ISO 10993-1:2009 and EN ISO 7405:2008.

Technological Characteristics

Polymer-based resin luting material. Available in LC (syringe) and DC (double-push syringe with mixing tips) formats. Tested per ISO 4049:2009. Biocompatibility per EN ISO 10993-1 and EN ISO 7405. Storage 2-28 °C.

Indications for Use

Indicated for permanent adhesive luting of glass-ceramic, lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, and composite restorations (inlays, onlays, veneers, partial crowns, crowns, bridges). LC version restricted to translucent restorations <2mm thick. DC version requires additional light-cured adhesive for opaque/oxide ceramics.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Variolink II is a dual-curing (light- and self-curing)<br>luting composite system for the adhesive luting of<br>ceramic and composite restorations. | Variolink Esthetic is a color-stable, adhesive luting<br>system for the permanent cementation of ceramic<br>and composite resin restorations. |
| Variolink II may also be applied in the light-curing<br>technique only (e.g. luting of veneers). For this<br>purpose, only the Variolink II Base is to be used. | Variolink Esthetic is offered in a light-curing version<br>(Variolink Esthetic LC) and a dual-curing version<br>(Variolink Esthetic DC). |
| Variolink II Try-in Pastes. Water-soluble glycerine<br>pastes shades to match the cement and used<br>temporarily before cementation to visualize the final<br>shade. | Variolink Esthetic also includes an accessory<br>product, Variolink Esthetic Try-in which are water-<br>soluble glycerine pastes shaded to match the<br>Variolink Esthetic cement and used temporarily<br>before cementation to visualize the final shade. |
| Variolink II is available in 6 base shades and 2<br>catalyst shades. The catalyst is available in different<br>viscosities. Variolink II is available in syringes. Base<br>and catalyst are hand-mixed. | Variolink Esthetic is available in 5 shades:<br>Light +, Light, Neutral, Warm, Warm +<br>Variolink Esthetic DC is available in one consistency.<br>Variolink Esthetic LC is available in syringes.<br>Variolink Esthetic DC is available in double-push<br>syringes with mixing tips so the material is dispensed<br>ready-mixed. |
| Cool storage (2-8 °C/36-46 °F) is indicated for the<br>catalyst paste. Syringes should be closed<br>immediately after use. Exposure to light causes<br>premature polymerization. | 2-28 °C/36-82 °F for all items. Close Variolink<br>Eshetic LC syringes immediately after use. Exposure<br>to light causes premature polymerization. |

Technological Characteristics and Testing Summary: The device has been tested and designed in accordance with ISO 4049:2009 Dentistry - Polymer-based restorative materials for film thickness, Depth of Cure, sensitivity to ambient light, working time, flexural strength, water sorption, solubility, and radiopacity.
