HI-Dense XP

Silver reinforced glass ionomer restorative, packable like amalgam

HI DENSE contains spherical particles of a silver-tin alloy in a specially developed glass ionomer. This glass ionomer has outstanding physical properties as a result.

Indication 

• class I and II cavities in deciduous teeth
• repair of amalgam restored teeth when either tooth or restoration is fractured
• class I and II cavities in selected permanent teeth
• lining under amalgam and posterior composite restorations
• in other classes of cavity when radiopacity rather than aesthetics is a prime requirement
• core build-up material under crowns
• on root surfaces for locating cover dentures
• long-term temporary replacement for cusps
• repair of crown margins

Benefits 

• adheres chemically to tooth substance and amalgam
• contains and releases fluoride ions
• low thermal conductivity
• the CTE is close to tooth
• radiopaque, non-translucent
• high compressive strength and hardness
• suitable for use with minimal cavity preparation techniques (MI)
