Premium Dental Filling Materials: Restore, Protect, Beautify
Overview
Our comprehensive range of dental filling materials provides clinicians with the essential solutions needed to effectively restore tooth structure, prevent further decay, and enhance patient smiles. Engineered for superior performance, aesthetics, and longevity, our products cater to a wide spectrum of clinical indications and patient needs, ensuring predictable and durable restorations.
Key Features & Advantages
- Exceptional Biocompatibility: Formulated with patient safety in mind, minimizing allergic reactions and promoting healthy tissue integration.
- Superior Mechanical Properties: High compressive strength, excellent wear resistance, and fracture toughness ensure long-lasting restorations even in high-stress areas.
- Outstanding Aesthetics: Available in a broad spectrum of VITA® shades, with superb polishability and natural light-scattering properties, for virtually invisible restorations.
- Low Polymerization Shrinkage: Minimizes marginal gaps and microleakage, reducing post-operative sensitivity and secondary caries.
- Optimal Handling Characteristics: Non-sticky, easy to sculpt, and maintain anatomical form, streamlining the restorative procedure.
- Reliable Bond Strength: Designed to achieve a strong, durable bond to tooth structure when used with appropriate bonding agents.
- Radiopacity: Easily discernible on radiographs for clear diagnostic assessment and follow-up.
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of anterior and posterior restorations, core build-ups, and minor repairs.
Benefits to Clinician & Patient
- For Clinicians:
- Predictable Outcomes: High-quality materials lead to consistent, successful restorations.
- Efficient Workflow: Easy handling properties and fast curing times optimize chairside procedures.
- Broad Application: A diverse portfolio simplifies material selection for various clinical scenarios.
- Patient Satisfaction: Delivering aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, and durable fillings enhances patient trust and referrals.
- For Patients:
- Natural Appearance: Restorations blend seamlessly with natural dentition.
- Long-Lasting Durability: Robust materials withstand daily chewing forces, extending the lifespan of the filling.
- Reduced Sensitivity: Minimized shrinkage helps prevent post-operative discomfort.
- Protection Against Further Decay: Effectively seals and protects the tooth from bacterial ingress.
Available Material Types
We offer a curated selection of modern dental filling materials, each with unique advantages:
1. Composite Resins (Light-Cured)
- Description: Tooth-colored, resin-based materials cured with a visible light source. Highly aesthetic and versatile.
- Key Characteristics:
- Excellent Aesthetics: Mimics natural tooth translucency and opacity.
- Bonding to Tooth Structure: Requires a bonding agent for strong adhesion.
- Variety of Shades: Extensive VITA® shade match for precise color integration.
- High Strength (Packable Composites): Ideal for posterior restorations under occlusal load.
- Flowable Composites: Lower viscosity, perfect for liners, small restorations, and pit-and-fissure sealants.
- Indications: Class I-V restorations, direct veneers, core build-ups, diastema closures, repair of fractured teeth.
2. Glass Ionomer Cements (GIC)
- Description: Biocompatible, self-adhesive materials that chemically bond to tooth structure and release fluoride.
- Key Characteristics:
- Fluoride Release: Provides caries protection, especially beneficial for high-risk patients.
- Chemical Adhesion: Bonds directly to enamel and dentin without a separate bonding agent.
- Moisture Tolerance: Less technique-sensitive regarding moisture control than composites.
- Good Biocompatibility: Kind to pulpal tissues.
- Indications: Non-load-bearing Class I and II restorations, Class V restorations (especially root caries), temporary restorations, base/liner under composite fillings, pediatric restorations.
3. Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer (RMGI)
- Description: A hybrid material combining the benefits of GICs (fluoride release, chemical bond) with the improved strength and aesthetics of resins (light-cured).
- Key Characteristics:
- Dual-Cure or Light-Cure: Allows for faster setting and deeper cures.
- Enhanced Strength & Wear Resistance: Superior to conventional GICs.
- Fluoride Release: Offers sustained therapeutic benefits.
- Improved Aesthetics: Better translucency and polishability than traditional GICs.
- Indications: Class III and V restorations, core build-ups, pediatric restorations, base/liner.
Technical Specifications (Example for Composite Resin)
- Material Composition: Bis-GMA, UDMA, TEGDMA, inorganic filler particles (e.g., barium glass, strontium glass, silica), photoinitiators, pigments.
- Filler Content: Typically 60-80% by weight (microhybrids to nanohybrids).
- Particle Size: Ranges from 0.01 to 2.0 microns (depending on type: microfill, microhybrid, nanofill).
- Polymerization Shrinkage: 1.5% - 3.5% (by volume).
- Compressive Strength: 250 - 400 MPa.
- Flexural Strength: 100 - 150 MPa.
- Radiopacity: >1.0 mm Al.
- Curing Time: 20-40 seconds per 2mm increment (for most light-cured composites, varies by light intensity).
- Shade Range: VITA® classical (A1, A2, A3, A3.5, A4, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, D2, D3) and additional bleach/opaque shades.
- Packaging:
- Syringes: 3g or 4g syringes (for direct application).
- Compules/Unit Doses: 0.2g or 0.25g capsules (for hygienic, single-use application).
- Kits: Assorted kits including multiple shades, bonding agents, and accessories.
- Shelf Life: 2-3 years from manufacturing date when stored correctly.
