Description
Predicta® Bioactive Core
Predicta® Bioactive Core is a dual-cure bioactive core build-up material optimized for strength, bond durability, and long-term restoration support. It is ideal for use in teeth that require core build-ups, with or without posts, before prepping, impressioning, fabrication, and cementation of crowns.
This bioactive core build-up material releases calcium and phosphate ions and also releases and recharges fluoride. These ions stimulate mineral apatite formation and promote remineralization at the interface between the tooth and the restoration. As a result, Predicta Core not only restores form but also contributes to tooth health over time. It’s especially valuable in cases where margin integrity and internal support are critical.
Dual-Cure Strength in Bioactive Built Up Material
With dual-cure capability, Predicta Core offers unlimited depth of cure without the need for layering. This simplifies placement in deep or complex preparations. In addition, zirconia is incorporated to improve the prepping experience and provide a strong, stable base for crowns made from zirconia, porcelain, PFM, or metal.
Versatile Bioactive Core Build-Up Material for Everyday Use
Predicta Bioactive Core is available in multiple viscosities and shades to accommodate different clinical preferences. It is indicated both for core build-ups and for post cementation, eliminating the need for multiple materials. Its strength and stability make it an excellent choice for foundational restorative work where reliability matters most.
Whether used under indirect restorations or for reinforcing endodontically treated teeth, Predicta® Bioactive Core enhances bond strength, seals margins, and reduces sensitivity while supporting long-lasting clinical outcomes.
What is the difference between Predicta Bioactive Core & Predicta Bioactive Bulk
Predicta Bioactive Bulk is a highly polishable universal composite, that can be used in all areas of the mouth, and is indicated for Class I through V restorations. Predicta Bioactive Core is indicated for core build-ups and as a post cement. The addition of Zirconia helps provide a strong and stable support for crowns made of zirconia, lithium disilicate, porcelain, PFM and metal.

“I was attracted to the idea of placing a core— especially in hard-to-reach areas—that had a regenerative effect. It’s really about trying to increase the quality of care I provide. If the core material has a regenerative effect, and protects and/or strengthens the tooth structure around it, that should result in longer-lasting restorations.” – James M. Cavanaugh, DMD
“I have been using Predicta Bioactive Core for three years and it’s nowadays the only material I use for core building and post cementation. It gives me predictable results and I like the idea of using material that not only restores but also actively promotes tooth health.” – Dr. Jure Poglajen
“Having the ability to rebuild a prosthetic abutment in only a few minutes, allows the clinician to spend more time performing other procedures (i.e. the finishing of the preparation) at the time of treatment as opposed to waiting till a second appointment. The consistency of the material is very similar to dentin due to the presence of zirconium dioxide. This makes the preparation phase of the abutment extremely easy. The fluidity and smoothness allows for easy cementation of root canal posts without forming bubbles or microgaps. This is particularly relevant at the tooth-restoration interface, which is often the critical portion of the restoration itself and could lead to early failure. The dual polymerization allows a complete conversion of the material in a few minutes, which is especially beneficial in areas that are difficult to reach by the curing light such as within the post space. Also, the high radiopacity is ideal to perform radiographic checks and detect any errors before proceeding with the finalization of the prosthetic case.” – Dr. Alessandro Colella (Italy)
“Our objective is always simplifying the procedure and limiting the usage of materials. Predicta Core meets such needs and those of our patients, who want high quality but fast reconstructions.” – Dr. Giuseppe Chiodera, StyleItaliano Honorary Member
“The closer you can get to natural tooth structure, I think the better off patients can be. Because we are releasing natural components, to me that is a huge benefit especially when we are looking out for the patients overall well-being and total health.” – Douglas Olson, DDS
“I like that it comes in a white shade because it allows me to see the restoration margin. It’s practical to have two viscosities. I used regular for core build-up and low viscosity for post cementation.” – Dr. Jure Poglajen
