Voco has some new Glass Ionomer Products

Meron

Glass Ionomer Luting Cement in Application Capsules

Meron is a radiopaque, glass ionomer luting cement that comes in VOCO’s new easy-to-use direct activation application capsule. Characterized by good flow properties, Meron has high bond strength and compressive strength, a low film thickness (16-20 µm), as well as high translucency and fluoride release. The new application capsule contains significantly more material than comparable products of other brands.  With a working time of 3 minutes and a setting time of 3 to 5 minutes Meron AC minimizes the headaches associated with glass ionomer luting cements.  Meron is indicated for the cementation of crown, bridges, inlays, onlays and orthodontic bands made of metal or ceramic.

Ionolux^®

Immediately Packable Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Restorative

with Composite-like Esthetics

Ionolux is a new light cured resin modified glass ionomer restorative that offers unique physical attributes that benefit both the practitioner and the patient.  These benefits include composite-like esthetics, an ability to be condensed, shaped and sculpted immediately after application, non-stick handling and improved physical properties for better longevity.  Ionolux’s enhanced esthetics uniquely allows the practitioner to deliver a fluoride releasing restorative without sacrificing the esthetics. This enables practitioners to offer a higher quality of care especially for at-risk demographics such as the pediatric and geriatric populations.  Ionolux is radiopaque and does not require the use of any adhesive or dentin conditioner. 

With five shades that include A1, A2, A3, A3.5 and B1, Ionolux provides a biocompatible quality solution for practitioners looking for a restorative that offers composite-like esthetics, ease of application and shaping, controlled working times and fluoride release.  

IonoStar^® Molar  

Immediately Packable, Non-Sticky Glass Ionomer Restorative

IonoStar Molar is a newly developed glass ionomer restorative with improved characteristics that include non-stick handling, adjustable material consistency and immediate packability to create better results for both the practitioner and the patient.  IonoStar Molar can be condensed, modeled and shaped immediately after insertion and cures within four minutes. Its adjustable consistency allows the practitioner flexibility to customize the feel (softer or firmer) they require while maintaining IonoStar Molar’s initial wettability for maximum marginal adaptability.  Offering a high level of fluoride release, IonoStar Molar is available in VOCO’s new easy-to-use direct activation application capsule that fits virtually all branded glass ionomer applicators.  Its combined enhancements offer a clinical solution that reduces practitioner headaches, reduces procedural time, increases overall quality care for the patient and allows for flexibility to meet various clinical demands and preferences.

IonoStar^® Plus:

Fast-set, Immediately Packable Glass Ionomer Restorative

IonoStar Plus is a new glass ionomer restorative that offers a fast-set, immediate packability, non-stick handling and enhanced physical properties. Designed to reduce or remove many of the headaches associated with glass ionomer restoratives, IonoStar Plus comes in a new easy-to-use direct activation application capsule that fits virtually all branded glass ionomer applicators.  Once triturated and placed in the mouth, IonoStar Plus offers two stages of consistency that first provide ideal wettability for perfect marginal adaptability, and then immediate packability to allow shaping and sculpting without any “pull-back” due to its non-stick handling.  IonoStar Plus has an abbreviated working time of two minutes that allows the clinical procedure to proceed quickly when time plays an important factor.  IonoStar Plus is radiopaque, fluorescent, has a high continuous fluoride release and does not require the use of a dentin conditioner.
