K-Liner by Kiyomi Dental: why it is essential in your cavity restorations
In restorative dentistry, the choice of base materials can make the difference between a restoration that lasts and one that develops complications over time. K-Liner by Kiyomi Dental is a light-cured hybrid compomer specifically designed to act as a liner and cavity base, with the aim of improving restoration durability, protecting the dental pulp, and promoting more effective adhesion of the final restorative material.
What is K-Liner and what is it used for?
A compomer is a restorative material that combines the best properties of composite resins and glass ionomer cements: it offers chemical and mechanical adhesion to dentine, sustained fluoride release, and good radiopacity for radiographic control.
K-Liner is indicated as a cavity base for restorations with composite resins, amalgams, and porcelain, and it is also suitable for restorations in deciduous teeth.
Clinical benefits that matter in your practice
Improved restoration stability.
K-Liner helps compensate for the shrinkage of the restorative material during polymerisation, reducing the formation of microgaps and microfractures that can compromise the integrity of the seal.
Prevention of secondary caries and microfractures.
Thanks to its formulation and prolonged fluoride release, K-Liner helps prevent the development of secondary caries, one of the most frequent challenges in long-term restorations.
Enhanced adhesion with reduced postoperative sensitivity.
Its combination of chemical and micromechanical adhesion to dentine promotes more reliable bonding, while its properties help reduce or prevent pulpal hypersensitivity after treatment.
Antibacterial properties and radiographic control.
The compomer exhibits characteristics that help protect the pulp from bacterial aggression, and its radiopacity facilitates postoperative evaluation and clinical follow-up.
Versatility and ease of use.
K-Liner is supplied in 2.5 g syringes with five universal-colour application tips, allowing for fast and efficient application. Its polymerisation time of just 20 seconds ensures a streamlined workflow without compromising clinical outcomes.
In addition, it can be used both as a traditional liner on the cavity floor and to coat the entire cavity with a stress-breaking function, making it highly versatile across multiple clinical scenarios.
Conclusion: a solid ally for your clinic
Integrating K-Liner by Kiyomi Dental into your restorative protocols not only reinforces the protective and adhesive function of the cavity base, but also helps you achieve more predictable and long-lasting results. Its combination of properties—enhanced adhesion, fluoride release, radiopacity, and ease of use—positions it as a valuable tool for professionals seeking to optimise the quality of their restorations.
