Clinical Overview
Ultra‑Blend Plus is a light‑curable, radiopaque dentin liner and pulp capping material that combines calcium hydroxide and calcium hydroxyapatite within a urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) base. Its highly filled formulation delivers superior calcium release, minimal shrinkage, and long‑term stability—designed to support hard‑tissue repair and pulp vitality without dissolving over time.
Key Benefits
- Bioactive calcium release: Promotes reparative dentin formation and pulp healing.
- Light‑cured when clinician is ready: Precise curing control enhances workflow efficiency.
- Highly filled, minimal shrinkage: Maintains liner integrity and volume after cure.
- Radiopaque formula: Allows post‑operative radiographic verification of placement.
- No mixing required—in syringe delivery: Controlled, accurate application using Black Micro™ or Black Mini™ tips.
- Certified gluten‑free: Suitable for patients with dietary sensitivities.

Working & Setting
Ultra‑Blend Plus is light‑activated on demand—clinician controls timing for optimal placement, manipulation, and curing post‑application.
Indications
- Direct and indirect pulp capping over small, non‑hyperemic exposures
- Protective base liner beneath restorative materials (composite, amalgam)
- Liner in deep cavity preparations to safeguard pulp tissue and support bonding protocols
Instructions for Use
- Following cavity preparation, isolate with rubber dam and disinfect exposure sites using Consepsis™ (60 sec), then air-dry—do not rinse.
- Apply MTAFlow™ if necessary for larger exposures; then apply Ultra‑Blend Plus using a Black Micro™ tip to dry dentin, covering exposure margins minimally.
- Light-cure until fully set (per manufacturer’s light-curing protocol).
- Continue with adhesive bonding (e.g. Ultra‑Etch™, Peak™ Universal Bond) and final restorative placement following standard protocol.
Summary
Ultra‑Blend Plus Kit (Ref. 415) provides a sophisticated, clinician-activated, bioactive liner and pulp-capping solution. With its light-curable, highly filled UDMA base, superior calcium release, minimal shrinkage, and radiopacity, it supports predictable pulp protection and durable performance in restorative workflows.
