MultiCore® Flow is a dual-curing, fluoride-containing, radiopaque composite

for core build-ups. It cures chemically without the use of light. Light-curing
is optional. MultiCore Flow is available in a double-barrel cartridge or a
double-push syringe with automixing tips for fabricating core build-ups using
matrices

Composition
The monomer matrix consists of dimethacrylate (29 wt %).
The inorganic fillers are barium glass, ytterbiumtrifluoride, Ba-Al-fluorosilicate
glass and highly dispersed silicon dioxide (70 wt %).
Additional contents are catalysts, stabilizers and pigments (1 wt %).
The total content of inorganic fillers is 46 vol %. The particle size ranges from
0.04 to 25 μm.

Shades
MultiCore is available in four shades: The dentin shades Light (A1/B1),
Medium (A2/A3) ,Blue and White are particularly suitable for use under all-ceramic
restorations, and Blue is recommended for use under metal or porcelainfused-
to-metal crowns.

Working time
90 to 120 s (at 37°C/98.6°F)
Mixing ratio
The base and catalyst pastes of MultiCore Flow are mixed at a ratio of 1:1.
MultiCore Flow is mixed by pressing the pastes through the static
mixing tip.
Indications
– Core build-up of vital and non-vital teeth
– Adhesive cementation of glass fibre-reinforced endodontic posts
Contraindications
The use of MultiCore Flow is contraindicated
– if the operating field cannot be kept sufficiently dry, or if the stipulated
application technique cannot be used;
– if the patient is known to be allergic to any of the ingredients in
MultiCore Flow.

Side effects
– In individual cases, components of MultiCore Flow may lead to
sensitization. MultiCore Flow should not be used in such cases.
– In vital teeth, dentinal areas close to the pulp should be covered with
a suitable liner.

Interactions
Substances containing eugenol/oil of cloves may inhibit the polymerization
of composite materials. Consequently, application of such materials together
with MultiCore Flow must be avoided.
