technique guide

OPTIONAL STEP: Apply CAVITY CONDITIONER (GC) for 10 SECONDS.

Rinse and gently dry, do not desiccate

Shake or tap. Depress plunger.

Mix for 10 sec. Working time is 1 min. 15 sec. from start of mix

Insert in Capsule Applier. Click twice to prime capsule.

Dispense within 10 sec.

Pack and contour. Avoid moisture contamination and dry-out.

Final finishing after 2 min. 30 sec. from start of mix.

Finish the restoration by applying EQUIA® Forte Coat. DO NO AIR BLOW.

Light cure for 20 sec.

BUFFERING CAPACITY

CLEANING EFFICACY

EQUIA Forte® Fil: Glass Hybrid Innovation

• Highly reactive Fluoro-alumino-silicate fillers (<4μm): Helps to release more metal ions which improves the cross-linking of polyacrylic acid, to improve physical properties • Higher molecular weight polyacrylic acid: Cement matrix made stronger and more chemically stable. Leads to higher flexural strength.

Strength: Self Cure

Strength: Light Cure

What is EQUIA Forte® Coat?

Unique technology …with unique filler particles uniformly dispersed …resulting in a much stronger final restoration …with virtually NO delamination layer between Glass Hybrid and Coating

EQUIA Forte® Coat: Innovation

• Formulation improved from EQUIA Coat (or G-Coat Plus) • Increased resistance to wear • Now also available in unit dose

Newly adopted monomer • Improved efficiency of polymerization • Low viscosity provides thinner film layer • Smoother final restoration surface •

CAUTION RECALDENT™ is derived from milk casein. Do not use on patients with a milk protein or hydroxybenzoates allergy. In case of allergic reaction; stop use, rinse mouth with water, and seek medical advice.

For best results, brush for 2 minutes and do not rinse; do not eat or drink for 30 mins after brushing. Use twice a day.

Apply a small, pea-size amount of MI Paste ONE to your toothbrush.

How to use:

Cool and refreshing mint flavor!

• Is essentially MI Paste Plus® that can be brushed-on • Can replace your regular toothpaste • No additional step after brushing

EQUIA Forte® Fil

A. Note the dense structure of EQUIA Forte® Fil and uniform thickness of the coat

B. Note the surface porosities are filled up with Forte Coat

• The graph above shows that when the coating is removed (simulating clinical situation that coat wears off) from the top surface of EQUIA Forte® Fil after 30 days, there is a substantial increase in the hardness of Glass hybrid due to secondary maturation.
