CAVEX- GLASS IONOMER LUTING CEMENT

Description

• Cavex Glass Ionomer is indicated as luting cement for the fixing of crowns, bridges and inlays.
• Cavex Glass Ionomer Cement is supplied as a powder and liquid, both of which are carefully compounded to react with one another during the mixing to develop a cement with desirable physical characteristics.
• The mixed cement is prepared by gradually incorporating increments of the powder into the liquid and mixing vigorously until a perfect homogeneous mass is obtained.
• In general, Cavex Glass Ionomer Cement has the following properties:
  • Very low film thickness for accurate fit
  • High adhesion to dentine and enamel
  • High adhesion to fixed restorative materials
  • Durable and patient-friendly luting
  • Biocompatible
  • Pulp-friendly, no over acidification possible
• Because of its “similarity” to tooth substance, Cavex Glass Ionomer Cement provides tight adhesion to tooth substance. The adhesion of glass ionomer cements is built up chemically through intermolecular forces to the hard dental tissue. The thin luting film has good adhesive as well as cohesive bonding strength.
