Description
- Chemically bonds to tooth structure, dentin, enamel, metal pins, posts, to itself and other glass ionomer material improved retention and added strength.
- High compressive strength
- Coefficient of thermal expansion almost equal to dentin - marginal seal can be maintained
- Does not flow, creep or expand after setting - maintains dimensional stability of crown preparation
- Different look and feel than dentin - easily distinguishable from tooth structure
- Excellent thermal, chemical and electrical insulator - minimizes irritation to tooth
- 100% fine silver alloy powder is totally encapsulated within the glass ionomer material - no odor, no metallic taste, no silver migration or Galvanic corrosive decalcification and will not stain tooth black or gray
- Rapid set time with adequate work time - ready to finish in 5-7 minutes from start to finish
