According to the company, the materialmeetsthegrowingdemand for an economical alternative restorative for extensive cavities and can be used for restoring enamel and dentin when combined with a conventional composite like G-ænial Posterior. A special structure with particu- larly short fibres prevent cracks and fractures that can occur in the filling, one of the main reasons for failure of composite and amalgam restora- tions.ThelongevityofeverXPosterior restorations is due its high fracture toughness values that are equal todentinandalmost100percent as high as those exhibited by other composites. In addition, the high bond strength with both the overlaying composite and un- derlyingtoothstructureallowsreli- able restorations, the company said. everXPosteriorisparticularlyindi- cated for strengthening direct com- posite restorations in extensive pos- terior cavities and as such, enables more extensive defects to be treated immediately and directly chairside.These include restorations of cavities with three or more sur- faces, cavities with missing cusps, deep cavities (including class I and II cavities as well as endodontically treated teeth) and cavities re- maining after removing amal- gam as well as cavities indi- catedforonlays/inlays.GCsaid that in order to achieve opti- mumaestheticsandwearresist- ance, everX Posterior must be overlaidwithalight-curinguniver- sal composite such as the own G-ænial product family GC EUROPE, BELGIUM www.gceurope.com Booth C23-25 IPlanmeca’s latest dental unit was designed with ergonomics, comfort,andusabilityinmind.It’s design is supposed to enhance the workflows of both dentist and assistants.
