WHY LC GLASS-IONOMERS?

1. Adjustable manipulation time according to the dentist needs

2. Improved aesthetics and higher translucency3. Increased mechanical properties of the restoration4. Preservation of favorable properties of glass-ionomers

AESTHETICS OF GLASS-IONOMER CEMENTS

ADVANTAGES OF KAVITAN® LC

Easy Manipulation

- Fast mixing- Easy application- Non-sticky consistency- Sufficient manipulation time (3min)- Short polymerization time (20s)- Easy shaping and polishing

ADVANTAGES OF KAVITAN® LC

High Resistance

- High compressive and flexural strength (182 and 57MPa) - Excellent depth of polymerization (4,2mm)- High wear resistance- Long-term fluoride release- Biocompatibility

ADVANTAGES OF KAVITAN® LC

Natural Aesthetics

-Available in VITA shades - A2, A3, B3, C3-Lower opacity-Very good finishing and polishing-Natural appearance of the restoration

INDICATIONS KAVITAN® LC

• Class V and III restoration in permanent

teeth

• Class I and II restoration not loaded with

occlusal forces

• Class I, II, III and V restoration in

deciduous teeth

• Adhesive liners under composite or

amalgam fillings

INDICATIONS KAVITAN® LC

• Core build-ups prior to preparation for

crowns, inlays or onlays

• Class I, II, III, and V laminated

restorations • Fissure sealing

HOW TO MAKE A FILLING FROM GIC?

WORKING SCHEME IN VITRO

• using of appropriate instruments (bowles, brushes...)

• choosing the cement colour

1. Clean the tooth surface

WORKING SCHEME IN VITRO

• preparation of carious lesions

• smoothing of cavity margin

2. Cavity preparation

CAVITY PREPARATION

WORKING SCHEME IN VITRO

• do not over-dry dentin!

• apply KAVITAN CONDITIONER for 10s

• (remove the „smear layer“)

3. Preparation of the cavity

WORKING SCHEME IN VITRO

4. Cement preparation

• dose the powder and liquid (in mixing ratio 2 : 1)

WORKING SCHEME IN VITRO

• pull the powder into liquid in 2 – 4 parts

4. Cement preparation

WORKING SCHEME IN VITRO

4. Cement preparation

• mixing time max. 30 – 45 s

• homogenous and plastic consistency

WORKING SCHEME IN VITRO

• place the mixed cement (Centrix tips, etc.)

• using of transparent foils is recommended

5. Filling application

MANIPULATION SCHEDULE

Polymerization

20s

Mixing Working time

30 - 45s 3 min

WORKING SCHEME IN VITRO

• light-cure for 20s

• removal of excessing• amount of material

6. Polymerization

WORKING SCHEME IN VITRO

• use apropriate instruments:(burs, gum rotary instruments, flexi-discs, polyshing paste)

7. Finishing

COOL !!!

WORKING SCHEME IN VITRO

• apply LC VARNISH to protect the surface

7. Polishing

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LC GLASS-IONOMERS AND COMPOMERS?

LC glass-ionomers:• based on acidobasic• reaction• contains 5% of resin

only• fluoride release

Anticarigennous efect

Compomers:• based on composite

resin (90%)• minimal fluoride

release

Anticarigennous efect ???

KAVITAN® LClight-cured

glass-ionomer cement for all generation

replacement of amalgam - children semipermanent restoration - adults cervical lesions - seniors

KAVITAN® LC• appropriate combination with

KAVITAN KONDICIONER = removal „smear layer“

KAVITAN® LC• appropriate combination

with LC VARNISH = to protect the surface
