Glass Ionomer Perfect for Direct Restorations The GlasIonomer FX-II Capsule is an enhanced minimally invasive glass ionomer ideal for direct restoration. The material is shown to have above average levels of fluo-ride release and rechargability, impressively high compres-sive strength with adherence to enamel and dentin at equal levels, creating a strong marginal seal. The strength and adherence of FX-II along with thermal expansion properties similar to natural teeth provides far less strain on the restoration. Additional features include high radiopacity, low acid erosion levels, no wait time after mixing and the elimination of a conditioner requirement. Plus excellent handling, pack-ability and shade stability. The GlasIonomer FX-II Capsule is available through your local distributor (PN3270 shade A2, PN3271 shade A3, PN3272 shade A3.5, PN3273 shade B2, MSRP $227.70).
