PANAVIA V5

• Dual-Cure Chemistry: Ensures complete polymerization, even in areas not accessible to light.

• Fluoride-Releasing: Contributes to the long-term health of the tooth structure.

• Color Stability: Utilizes an amine-free catalyst to prevent discoloration over time.

• High Bond Strength: Provides exceptional adhesion to tooth structures, metals, and ceramics.

• Simplified Application: Features an intuitive application system with minimal steps.

• Radiopacity: Ensures visibility in radiographs for post-operative assessment.

• Low Film Thickness: Facilitates precise seating of restorations.

🛠️ Clinical Indications

PANAVIA™ V5 is suitable for cementing:

• Crowns (anterior and posterior)

• Inlays and onlays

• Veneers

• 3-unit bridges

• Long-span bridges

• Prostheses on implant abutments

• Root posts

🧪 Bonding Mechanism

The cement utilizes the original MDP (10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate) monomer, which forms a strong bond with hydroxyapatite in tooth structures, metals, and ceramics. The unique “touch-cure” mechanism accelerates polymerization upon contact with the tooth primer, enhancing bond strength even in self-cure mode. Kuraray Noritake

🎨 Shade Options

PANAVIA™ V5 is available in five aesthetic shades:

• Universal (A2)

• Clear

• Brown (A4)

• White

• Opaque (self-cure only)

Each shade has a corresponding try-in paste to predict the final aesthetic outcome. Kuraray Noritake

🧰 Components

The PANAVIA™ V5 system includes:

• PANAVIA™ V5 Paste: The resin cement available in various shades.

• PANAVIA™ V5 Tooth Primer: A one-component self-etching primer for tooth preparation.

• CLEARFIL™ Ceramic Primer Plus: For priming prosthetic materials.

• K-ETCHANT Syringe: For etching tooth surfaces.

• Try-in Pastes: For shade selection and aesthetic evaluation.

🧪 Clinical Application

1. Tooth Preparation: Clean and dry the tooth surface.

2. Etching: Apply K-ETCHANT to enamel and dentin, rinse, and dry.

3. Priming: Apply PANAVIA™ V5 Tooth Primer to the tooth surface for 20 seconds, then air-dry.

4. Prosthetic Preparation: Clean and, if necessary, prime the prosthetic surface with CLEARFIL™ Ceramic Primer Plus.

5. Cementation: Apply PANAVIA™ V5 Paste to the prosthetic, seat it onto the tooth, and remove excess cement.

6. Curing: Light-cure for 10 seconds per surface or allow self-curing to complete.
