The product’s stackable consistency and its automix syringe delivery system makes it easy to work with. An extremely high radiopacity of 365 percent Al makes it easy to see on X-rays. GrandioCORE DC comes with long endo intraoral tips and is also suited as a post cement. The clinician not only saves time by using the same material for post cementation and core build-up, but furthermore, a monoblock VOCO introduces dual- cured GrandioCORE DC iNdustry NEWs CDA BOOTH NO. 2434 is created with the same physical prop- erties for an increased success rate of the restoration.
