• High strength and durability comparable to silver amalgam, with the protective benefits of glass ionomer.
• Improved edge strength and superior marginal adaptation.
• High translucency, flexural modulus, and compressive strength for long-lasting restorations.
• Enhanced mixing and handling characteristics for easier application.
• Excellent resistance to abrasion and erosion.
• Remarkable radiopacity for clear radiographic identification.
• Sustained high fluoride release, offering anti-cariogenic benefits, particularly in high caries-risk cases.
• Ideal for minimally invasive procedures, as it chemically bonds to enamel and dentin and exhibits tooth-like thermal expansion, reducing interfacial stress and minimizing failure risk.
• Packable and condensable like amalgam, without mercury hazards or risks of corrosion, expansion, or thermal conductivity.
• Suitable for:
• Class I & II restorations
• Structural base in sandwich restorations
• Core build-ups
• Root surfaces supporting overdentures
• Pediatric and geriatric cases
• Long-term temporaries for fractured cusps and fractured amalgam restorations
• Atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) techniques

Zirconomer Improved

A reinforced glass ionomer enhanced with special zirconia fillers, Zirconomer Improved introduces a new class of restorative material. It delivers the strength and durability of amalgam, the protective benefits of glass ionomer, and sustained fluoride release—completely free of mercury hazards. Ideal for a wide range of restorations, including permanent posterior teeth in high-risk patients, as well as cases requiring strong structural cores and bases.

Superior Mechanical Properties

Zirconomer Improved surpasses conventional reinforced glass ionomers in stress-bearing posterior restorations, offering exceptional compressive strength and dimensional stability for long-lasting results.

Remarkable Translucency

Formulated with zirconia nanofillers, it provides high translucency for a natural tooth-like appearance, making it suitable even for cores that will be covered with premium all-ceramic restorations.

Indications• Class I and II cavities in deciduous teeth
• Class I and II restorations in selected permanent teeth
• Repair of fractured amalgam-restored teeth (tooth or restoration)
• Cavities requiring high radiopacity
• Core build-ups
• Repair of crown margins
