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.
| Mixing time | Working time | Setting time |
|---|---|---|
| 30 s | 3 min | 5 – 7 min |
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.
