3m Espe Vitrebond Light Cure Glass Ionomer Liner/Base – Intro Kit

The 3M ESPE Vitrebond Light Cure Glass Ionomer Liner/Base – Intro Kit is an advanced dental product designed to elevate the quality of dental restorations while enhancing patient comfort. This versatile kit employs Resin Modified Glass Ionomer (RMGI) technology, combining the advantages of glass ionomer and resin materials.

Dentists can use it as a liner or base beneath various types of dental restorations, including composites, amalgams, metals, and ceramics. Its primary purpose is to improve the retention and resistance of these restorations.

One of its remarkable features is its dual-setting mechanism. It initially utilizes a conventional glass ionomer setting mechanism upon mixing, allowing ample working time for dentists. However, it also offers immediate hardening through light exposure from a curing unit, ensuring quick and efficient procedures. This flexibility minimizes chair time and enhances the convenience of dental work.

Additionally, the Vitrebond Liner/Base is invaluable for addressing post-operative sensitivity, particularly in patients with active caries. It effectively seals and protects dentin, reducing discomfort for patients.

This product has been extensively tested for long-term stability, showing no significant deterioration in mechanical properties after aging in water or thermocycling, ensuring durable performance.
