Description

Amazingly simple esthetics!

Variolink Esthetic is an esthetic light- and dual-curing luting composite for the permanent cementation of demanding ceramic and composite restorations.

The cement is based on the esthetic luting composites Variolink II and Variolink Veneer, which have proven their worth in clinical use for many years.

Variolink Esthetic represents a new generation of luting composites featuring excellent esthetics and user-friendly processing.
