Waldent Glasseal Glass Ionomer Liner LC

Description

Glasseal is an innovative light-cured dental cement designed to provide optimal benefits by harnessing the advantages of both glass ionomers and composites. This remarkable product serves as a resin-reinforced glass ionomer liner cement, offering a unique combination of properties to enhance dental restorations. By chemically bonding to the tooth structure, Glasseal establishes a durable and reliable foundation for dental restorations. The fluoride-releasing capabilities of Glasseal add another layer of benefit, helping to promote remineralization and strengthen the tooth structure while offering caries protection.

With its cutting-edge formulation, Glasseal represents a significant advancement in dental materials, providing clinicians with a versatile solution that combines the best features of glass ionomers and composites. By offering superior aesthetics, bonding strength, and fluoride release, Glasseal supports long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing dental restorations, ensuring both functional and cosmetic satisfaction for patients.

Indications:

– Enhances biocompatibility as a liner under various filling materials.
– Provides a protective barrier for pulp during cavity preparation.
– Facilitates enamel remineralization through fluoride release.
– Particularly useful in composite restorations to minimize post-operative sensitivities.
– Compensates for marginal gap formation, enhancing the marginal seal and reducing sensitivity.

Contraindications: 

• If the patient has a known allergy or sensitivity to any of the components of the material

Key Specification 

Composition : Urethane Dimethacrylate resin, Bisphenol A Glycidyle Methacrylate, Barium Sulphate, FluoroAluminoSilicate Glass Powder, Silanated Barium Glass Powder (Filler), Amorphous Fumed Silica, Photoinitiators (Curing agent) and Stabilizers.

Packaging 

• 1 x 2gm Syringe
• 4 x Black Tip (20 gauge)

Direction To Use 

• Begin by ensuring proper isolation, preferably using a rubber dam, to isolate the treatment area and minimize contamination. Additionally, protect areas close to the pulp by applying a thin layer of calcium hydroxide material if necessary.
• Prepare the cavity with minimal tooth reduction, preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. Take care to maintain the integrity of the surrounding enamel and dentin surfaces.
• Apply a suitable bonding agent to both the dentin and enamel surfaces according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This step enhances the bond strength between the tooth structure and the restoration.
• Replace the cap of the Glasseal syringe with a dispensing tip. Before application, confirm the consistency of the liner by expressing a small drop onto a pad.
• Apply Glasseal in a thin layer, covering the cavity floor and walls until the desired thickness is achieved. Avoid extending the liner onto the cavity edges to facilitate proper adaptation of the composite material later.
• Use a light-curing unit with a wavelength range of 400-500 nm and a light intensity of at least 500 mW/cm². Position the unit’s optical probe as close as possible to the filling material during the recommended curing time of 20 seconds. This ensures thorough and effective light curing of the glass ionomer liner.
• Once the Glasseal is light cured, proceed with the placement of a light-cured composite material following the manufacturer’s instructions. Layer the composite incrementally, using appropriate techniques to achieve the desired shape and contour of the restoration.
