Clinical Reliability
Variolink® II has become the standard by which all others are measured when it comes to adhesive
cementation of esthetic all-ceramic restorations such as IPS Empress®. Variolink's® clinical reliability has
been proven by long term clinical studies1 and the more than 30 million1 restorations placed worldwide.
Individualized Esthetics
Variolink II is available in 6 shades and 3 levels of
translucency to meet highly esthetic clinical demands.
• The Bleach XL, White, Yellow and Brown Bleach XL Transparent White Yellow Brown White
shades allow for shade modification. (010) (110/A1) (210/A3) (340/A4) Opaque
Shade Simulation
The water-soluble Variolink® II Try-In pastes are shaded according to the six Variolink® II base shades.
With the restoration “tried in,” these materials will simulate the final shade of the polymerized cement
and the final appearance of the restoration.
Three Viscosities
Different clinical requirements call for materials of different
consistencies. Variolink® II materials are available in three viscosities;
Low, High and Ultra High for the ultrasonic based luting technique.
Applicator Tips
Special applicator tips improve handling and reduce
waste during application.
