CDA 2012: Video Interview with Kuraray America, Inc.

J. Daniel Clementino, Manufacturer’s Representative with Kuraray America, Inc., provides the highlights to three new dental products with Stan Goff, Executive Editor at Dental Products Report, live from the convention floor at the California Dental Association’s trade show.

Clearfil Bond Plus all-in-one self-etch bonding system that is fluoride releasing, according to Clementino. It works with chemical cure or dual cure products.

The second newcomer is Clearfil DC Core Plus dual-cure core material that mimics how dentin flexes, he said. It is used to restore a tooth that has had a root canal done and mimics natural dentition.

The third new arrival is Clearfil SE Protect self-etching bonding system, said Clementino. It’s a two-step system and it’s anti-bacterial as well as fluoride releasing. It kills bacteria and creates a very stable dentin bond.

“This product with the doctor preparing the tooth properly, can equal the bond of enamel to dentin naturally,” he said. “So this is a very nice way to start your bonding systems to eliminate post-operative pain.”

Kuraray has many materials available to handle a variety of situations, according to Clementino. The company also is helping teach clinicians how to work with stress-reduced composites so that bonds are maintained long-term and people’s teeth can be saved.
