Shofu Hy-Bond Glassionomer Cx Mini Set

Description:

Shofu Hy-Bond Glass Ionomer Luting Cement is a high-strength, dual-cured luting cement used in dentistry for the permanent cementation of metal crowns, porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and orthodontic bands. It is a radiopaque and fluoride-releasing material, providing durable, long-lasting bonds with excellent adhesion to dentin and enamel.

Key Features:

• 
  

  Dual-Cured Formula: The cement is dual-cured, meaning it cures both chemically and by light, ensuring a consistent, reliable cure regardless of the restoration type or area of application.

  
  


• 
  

  Radiopacity: The cement is radiopaque, allowing for easy detection on X-rays to ensure proper placement and detect any voids or issues.

  
  


• 
  

  Fluoride Release: It releases fluoride over time, which helps prevent tooth decay and improves overall oral health by promoting remineralization of enamel.

  
  


• 
  

  Chemical Bonding: Hy-Bond is designed to chemically bond to both tooth structure and metal, ensuring a strong and durable bond between the restoration and the tooth.

  
  


• 
  

  Low Solubility: The cement has low solubility, making it resistant to dissolution over time, which helps maintain the integrity of the bond and restoration.

  
  


• 
  

  Working and Setting Time: The working time is 1 minute, and the setting time is 3 minutes, allowing for efficient and timely cementation during restorative procedures.

  
  

Indications:

• 
  

  Permanent Cementation of Restorations:

  
  
  
  
  • Cast metal restorations.
  
  
  • Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns and bridges.
  
  
  • Inlays and onlays.
  
  
  
  


• 
  

  Bonding of Metal Orthodontic Appliances:

  
  
  
  
  • Ideal for cementing metal orthodontic bands and brackets.
  
  
  
  


• 
  

  Long PFM Bridges: Hy-Bond is ideal for long PFM bridges due to its strength and reliable bond.

  
  

Advantages:

• 
  

  Strong and Durable Bond: Hy-Bond offers excellent adhesion to dentin and enamel, providing a secure and durable seal for restorations.

  
  


• 
  

  Fluoride Protection: The fluoride-releasing nature of this cement helps prevent decay and supports the health of the surrounding tooth structure by promoting remineralization.

  
  


• 
  

  Radiopacity: The cement’s radiopaque properties allow for easy detection on X-rays, ensuring proper placement and identification of restoration integrity.

  
  


• 
  

  Efficient Work Time: The short working and setting time (1 minute working time and 3-minute setting time) make it an efficient choice for dental professionals, ensuring a smooth, timely cementation process.
