GC Fuji IX Art

High strength glass ionomer cement for atraumatic restorative treatment (ART)GC Fuji IX ART is a purpose designed conventional setting glass ionomer cement for restoring posterior cavities using the ART technique.  The kit contains powder & liquid for hand mixing of the cement as well as varnish to protect the cement once manipulated and in place.  The Fuji IX liquid also functions as a cavity conditioner which is used prior to placement to ensure optimum chemical bonding of the restoration to the cavity walls.

Advantages:

• Chemically bonds to both enamel and dentin
• Strontium based glass ionomer 
• For good radiopacity and snapset characteristics
• Strontium will mimic calcium in the formation of strontium hydroxyapatite and strontium fluoroapatite to affect internal remineralization within the tooth structure
• Research has shown that a strontium-based glass ionomer placed in calcium-containing environment (saliva) will result in calcium ion diffusing into the glass ionomer surface achieving a surface strengthening effect 
• Fluoride is released from the restoration to prevent and arrest caries
• Biocompatible
• Does not cause irritation to pulp and gingiva
• Has a co-efficient of thermal expansion similar to tooth structure
