Zirconomer Improved defines a new class of restorative that promises the strength and durability of amalgam with the protective benefits of glass ionomer while completely eliminating the hazard of mercury. This high strength restorative has been specially reinforced with nano-zirconia fillers that not only impart remarkable mechanical properties to the restoration for posterior load bearing areas but also provides enough translucency to match natural tooth. Combination of outstanding strength, durability and sustained fluoride protection deems it ideal for permanent posterior restoration in patients with high caries incidence as well as cases where strong structural cores and bases are essential.
Features
High strength and durability like Silver amalgam with protective benefits of glasionomer
Improved edge strength and marginal adaptation
High translucency, flexural modulus and compressive strength
Improved mixing and handling characteristics
Excellent resistance to abrasion and erosion
Remarkable radiopacity
Sustained high fluoride release for anti-cariogenic benefits especially in cases with high caries risk
Exceptional for minimally invasive procedures as it chemically bonds to enamel and dentin while displaying tooth-like co-efficient of thermal expansion, which results in low interfacial stresses and minimizes potential for failure
Packable and condensable like amalgam without the hazard of mercury or the risk of corrosion, expansion and thermal conductivity
