Shofu Zirconomer Improved Universal - 12G 5ml

DESCRIPTION:

Zirconomer Improved is a reinforced glass ionomer dental restorative material that offers exceptional strength and durability similar to silver amalgam, combined with the protective benefits of glass ionomer. Enhanced with zirconia fillers, this innovative material provides superior mechanical properties, long-lasting fluoride release, and the elimination of mercury concerns. Zirconomer Improved is ideal for posterior restorations and structural core build-ups, ensuring reliable and aesthetically pleasing results in both pediatric and geriatric cases.

FEATURES:

• 
  

  High Strength and Durability: Combines the strength of silver amalgam with the protective benefits of glass ionomer. It offers high compressive strength, flexural modulus, and excellent dimensional stability, making it ideal for stress-bearing restorations.

  
  


• 
  

  Improved Edge Strength & Marginal Adaptation: Zirconomer Improved features stronger edge strength and better marginal adaptation, ensuring minimal leakage and long-term performance.

  
  


• 
  

  High Translucency: The inclusion of zirconia nano-fillers enhances the material’s translucency, providing a better match to natural tooth color, which is particularly important for core build-ups under high-end all-ceramic restorations.

  
  


• 
  

  Excellent Resistance to Abrasion & Erosion: Zirconomer Improved has remarkable resistance to abrasion and erosion, ensuring long-term wear resistance in high-stress areas.

  
  


• 
  

  Remarkable Radiopacity: It has excellent radiopacity, allowing clear visibility in X-rays, which is crucial for reliable diagnostics and follow-up care.

  
  


• 
  

  Sustained Fluoride Release: This material offers long-term fluoride release, providing anti-cariogenic benefits and protection against tooth decay, especially in patients at high risk for caries.

  
  


• 
  

  Minimally Invasive: It chemically bonds to both enamel and dentin, with a tooth-like coefficient of thermal expansion, minimizing interfacial stresses and the potential for failure, making it ideal for minimally invasive procedures.

  
  


• 
  

  Mercury-Free & Non-Corrosive: Unlike silver amalgam, Zirconomer Improved is mercury-free, eliminating health concerns related to mercury exposure. It also does not corrode, offering stability over time.

  
  

Indications:

• Class I & II Cavities in Deciduous Teeth


• Class I & II Restorations in Selected Permanent Teeth


• Repair of Amalgam Restored Teeth when either the tooth or restoration has fractured


• Core Build-Up for structural restoration under crowns


• Repair of Crown Margins


• Cavities Where Radiopacity Is Critical (e.g., Class I, II, III, and V cavities)


• Long-Term Temporary Restorations for fractured cusps and fractured amalgam restorations


• Sandwich Restorations where a structural base is required


• Pediatric and Geriatric Cases


• ART Techniques for minimally invasive dentistry

Conclusion:

Zirconomer Improved is a breakthrough in dental restorative materials, offering the strength of amalgam without the associated risks, combined with the fluoride release and bonding benefits of glass ionomer. Its exceptional durability, high translucency, and radiopacity make it the ideal choice for a wide variety of dental applications, from posterior restorations to core build-ups. With zirconia fillers enhancing its overall performance, Zirconomer Improved delivers outstanding results for both aesthetic and functional needs, providing long-lasting protection and excellent patient outcomes.
