CAVEX GLASS IONOMER CEMENT

Product description:
Cavex Glass Ionomer Cement is a glass ionomer cement (glass polyalkenoate cement) for luting.
Cavex Glass Ionomer Cement has a low solubility in the mouth and a low level of acidity.
Fields of application:
For attaching crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, pins, posts and orthodontic bands.
Method of use:
Clean enamel, dentine and metal surfaces thoroughly and dry completely. Make sure not to leave any traces of other materials which could impair the properties of Cavex Glass Ionomer Cement. Temporary work should be attached with an  eugenol-free cement. Before attachment clean the core, rinse (e.g. with H2O2) and dry.
Shake the powder well before use!
The working temperature should be 15 °C – 23° C.
Use one drop of liquid for one level measuring scoop of powder (powder/liquid ratio = 3.0 : 1 g/g).
Place powder and liquid on a suitable glass plate or a suitable mixing pad.
When dispensing the liquid, hold the dropper bottle vertically.
It is recommended to divide the powder into 3 portions and to mix it portion by portion into the liquid, using a solid plastic spatula or another abrasion- resistant type of spatula.

Application:
Cavex Glass Ionomer Cement has a working time of approx. 3 min at room temperature and sets after 5 – 7 min (3 – 5 min in the mouth). Higher temperatures shorten the working time, low temperatures prolong it.
The correct consistency is achieved when Cavex Glass Ionomer Cement can be applied to the core and into the crown with a hard brush. It is essential to prevent contact with water and saliva during application and setting.
Indications and precautions:
Excess material can be removed after 10 – 15 min, preferrably chipping it off with an explorer.
Desensitize extensively ground and sensitive cores prior to temporary attachment. Remaining varnish and other substances (e.g. isolating agent) can affect adhesion and should be removed completely before using Cavex Glass Ionomer  Cement for final luting.
Do not apply the cement excessivley and maintain sufficient dentine thickness to avoid pulp irritations. If necessary, pulp protection should be applied in the proximity of the pulp or a core build-up should be carried out, if indicated.
Rinse instruments with cold water immediately after use and before setting of the cement residues.
After removal of orthodontic bands, cement residues can be removed gently and rapidly with an ultrasonic scaler.
Cavex Glass Ionomer Cement contains polyacrylic acid and parabens. Cavex Glass Ionomer Cement should not be used in case of known hypersensitivities (allergies) to any of these ingredients.
Storage information:
Tightly close powder container immediately after use, in order to avoid infiltration of humidity which may result in a loss of compressive strength.
Store at temperatures 4 °C – 23 °C. Do not use after expiry date.
