Which of the following is a brand name of varnishes?

Vitrebond
Cavitec
Handiliner
Dycal

The correct answer is: Handiliner

Cavitec, as a brand name of varnishes, is notable for its use in the dental field. Varnishes are typically applied as part of cavity preparation and restoration procedures to seal the dentin and provide a protective layer on the tooth surface. Known for their role in preventing sensitivity and decay, materials like Cavitec contain components that enhance their effectiveness as dental varnishes. While Vitrebond is a glass ionomer cement, Handiliner is primarily used as a liner or base for restorations, and Dycal is additionally categorized as a liner for cavity preparations rather than a varnish. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for recognizing the appropriate applications of each material in dental practices.
