Shofu Glasionomer RX Ease Mini Set GIC

• A new enhanced anterior restorative cement specially designed for Class III, Class V, Cervical Erosion / Abrasion and Pedodontic restorations
• The Yellow Brown shade is suitable for most cases with optimized translucency and improved physical properties
• Improved version with better mechanical properties and handling characteristics for better clinical performance
• Co-efficient of thermal expansion similar to natural tooth for a remarkable marginal integrity
• High Fluoride release provides a cutting edge in prevention of secondary caries
• Radiopaque and biocompatible

The RX Ease is formulated with an advanced DUAL technology which makes it an excellent Type II restorative glass ionomer with a magnitude of indications. The advancement comprises of improvisations of both the powder and liquid components which include incorporation of High Trans Fluoroaluminosilicate Glass (HT Glass) in the powder and the High Functional Polycarboxylic acid Co Polymer in the liquid which result in an enhanced optical & physical properties of the material.

The High Functional Polycarboxylic Acid Copolymer technology allows its blending into the liquid material at significantly higher concentrations when compared to conventional acrylic acid homopolymer and thereby produces high density ionic crosslinks between polycarboxylic acid and multivalent metal ions thus enhancing the overall mechanical strength, acid resistance and bond strength.

The High Trans Fluoroaluminosilicate Glass (HT Glass) technology increases the translucency of the material allowing it to blend well with the remaining tooth structure and contributing to the overall aesthetics.

The HT Glass also has a very high glass ionomer reaction i.e acid-base reaction with polycarboxylic acid which adds to a very sharp setting of the material thus allowing a quick and easy shape modification & polishability.

Indications :

• Anterior Class III & Class V restorations including cervical erosions, root abrasions and wedge shaped defects
• Pediatric and geriatric restorations
• Provisional or transient restorations
• Minimally Invasive restorations
• Posterior fillings which include non-load bearing Class I & Class II restorations

• 1 x 10gm Powder (Shade: Yellow Brown)
• 1 x 5.2ml / 6.5gm Liquid
• 1 x Mixing Pad
• 1 x Spatula
• 1 x Measuring Scoop

• Preparation: Clean and dry the tooth surface where the glass ionomer cement will be placed.

• Mixing: Dispense one scoop of powder and one drop of liquid into a mixing pad. Use a spatula to mix the components until a homogeneous mix is obtained.

• Placement: Using a suitable instrument, place the mixed material into the prepared cavity or onto the tooth surface. Ensure that the material is fully adapted to the tooth structure and there are no voids.

• Contouring and shaping: The material can be contoured and shaped using dental instruments before it sets completely. Setting time of RX Ease is 2 minute 20 seconds that allows for quick and easy shape modification.

• Finishing and polishing: Once the material has set, finish and polish the surface to achieve the desired smoothness and aesthetics.
