Tehnodent GlassyCem

Radiopaque glass ionomer luting cement

Thanks to a special technology used in the powder production, the material has a creamy consistency with an optimal fluidity. It forms a thin fixing film, which completely fills the space between the tooth core and the inner surface of the crown, ensuring the correct position when placing and fixing the prosthesis.

Recommendations:

• – High temperatures (over 23 °C) shorten the treatment time, while lower temperatures (e.g., when mixing materials on a chilled glass plate) lengthens the working time.
• -Insufficient amount of powder has a negative effect on the mechanical properties and wear resistance of the mixture. Besides, an insufficient amount of powder can increase solubility of the cured material.
• – To ensure optimum material properties, make a pilot mixture using the powder to liquid ratio recommended by the manufacturer.

INDICATIONS

• Cementation of crowns, bridges, inlays and dental posts
• Core buildup

ADVANTAGES

• Prolonged anti-caries effect
• Radiopacity
• Biological compatibility
• The material is perfect for cementation of metal-free crowns and bridges made of high-strength ceramics
• Film thickness is 13 ± 2 μm (requirement by ISO 9917-1 is ≤ 25 μm)
• High adhesion
