Description

Glass Ionomer Cement for RESTORATION Light-Cured – A3.

It is a Hybrid Ionomer cement (Modified by Resin), Radiopaque, indicated for Restorations, it is photoactivated and activated without the presence of light. Indicated for Restorations in Permanent and Deciduous, Anterior and Posterior teeth.

Glass ionomer is a prominent material in modern dentistry, mainly due to its adhesion property and fluoride release, making it an ideal material where cavity sealing and caries prevention are desirable. It is very easy to handle, has excellent aesthetics and excellent mechanical properties. Suitable for elements with more than 50% tooth structure. The release of Fluorine provides the material with an anti-cariogenic action. It also absorbs Fluoride from the oral environment, recharging itself continuously. Provides the remineralization of adjacent tissues and recovery of the rigidity of cusps without dentin support. It has chemical adhesion to the tooth structure through binding with Ca ions, and its adhesion to enamel is greater than to dentin. It has thermal expansion and contraction very similar to dentin, which provides absence of postoperative sensitivity. Due to its high adhesiveness, it does not require the use of additional retainers. It is biocompatible and hydrophilic, being the most compatible material with the dental structure. Due to the initial acidity of the cement, in deep cavities the use of calcium hydroxide-based cements is recommended as lining. Fluorine also provides a reduced pH of the material. It is radiopaque and its high density does not allow marginal infiltrations. Fluorine also provides a reduced pH of the material.
