Kavitan® Pro

High-strength glass-ionomer cement

Outstanding self-curing cement with high mechanical strength for durable semi-permanent and permanent fillings. Offers very good aesthetic standard, excellent physical and mechanical properties and reliable bond strength. This economically modest material is suitable for Class I, III and V fillings and for the “sandwich” technique. Kavitan Pro is also suitable as a reliable material for adhesive liners under amalgam or composite fillings. A.R.T. technique (Atraumatic Restorative Treatment) and core build-ups are also included in its indications.

Indications

• class I and II semi-permanent posterior restorations
• class III and V restorations in permanent teeth
• class I, II, III and V restorations in permanent teeth – the “sandwich” technique
• lost dentin build-ups before prosthetic treatment
• adhesive liners under composite or amalgam restorations
• A.R.T. technique (Atraumatic Restorative Treatment)

Characteristics and advantages

• high strength
• extraordinary aesthetic with high translucency in comparison to competitive high-strength glass-ionomers
• perfect for core build-ups and replacement of lost dentin by sandwich technique (liner type “base”)
• permanent chemical adhesion to the hard dental tissues
• outstanding biocompatibility
• improved mechanical and chemical properties, higher strength in comparison to “conventional” GIC, i. e. Kavitan Plus
• non-sticky condensable consistency
• long-lasting release of fluoride ions
• highly radiopaque
• mechanical properties; compressive strength typically 186 MPa (min. 160 MPa)
