Clinical Overview
Ultra‑Blend plus is a light‑activated, radiopaque cavity liner containing calcium hydroxide and calcium hydroxyapatite in a urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) matrix. It delivers sustained bioactivity via calcium release, supports pulp capping and cavity lining, and remains dimensionally stable—no dissolution over time—while requiring no mixing.
Key Benefits
- Bioactive calcium release: Promotes reparative dentinogenesis and pulp health through controlled calcium release.
- Light‑curing control: Cure initiates when clinician is ready—enabling precision placement and workflow flexibility.
- Highly filled, minimal shrinkage: Ensures dimensional stability and adhesion integrity.
- Radiopaque & syringe‑delivery: Provides clear radiographic visibility and accurate placement without mixing.
- Long‑term durability: Does not dissolve over time, maintaining protective base.
- Gluten‑free, BPA‑free: Safe for sensitive patients.
Kit Contents
- 1 × 1.2 mL syringe of Ultra‑Blend plus Dentine
- 2 × application tips (e.g. Black Micro or Black Mini tips)
- Instruction leaflet for use
Working & Setting
- Application: Place liner directly onto dry dentin; no mixing required.
- Light cure: Activate with blue light (≥450 mW/cm²) until material cures completely (typically 20–40 sec depending on thickness).
- Note: Minimizing coverage area preserves available dentin for bonding when composite restoration is placed.
Indications
- Direct pulp capping (small, non-hyperemic exposures)
- Indirect pulp capping over near-pulp dentin
- Cavity lining in deep preparations prior to composite or amalgam restoration
- Protective base under restorative material where pulp is at risk
Instructions for Use
- Clean and isolate the tooth thoroughly; ensure the dentin surface is dry.
- If pulp exposure is present, disinfect area with Consepsis™ antibacterial solution for 60 seconds; air dry. Larger exposures may require MTAFlow™ or endodontic treatment.
- Insert application tip and place liner directly onto the dentin exposure or cavity floor; use minimal coverage to preserve bonding surface.
- Light-cure the liner thoroughly using a standard curing light. Ensure full polymerization.
- Proceed with phosphoric acid etching (Ultra‑Etch 35 %) for 15 seconds, rinse and lightly dry dentin.
- Optionally apply bonding agent (e.g., Peak™ Universal Bond) scrubbed into dentin, air-thinned, and light-cured per manufacturer’s instructions. Then restore with composite.
Summary
Ultradent Ultra‑Blend plus Dentine (Ref. 416‑1) is a highly filled, radiopaque, light‑curing liner and protective base combining calcium hydroxide with hydroxyapatite in a UDMA matrix. Its bioactive, syringe‑dispensed format provides precise application, minimal shrinkage, and durable protection while supporting pulp healing and restorative bonding workflows.
