Hi Dense silver reinforced glass ionomer restorative from Shofu, packs like amalgam and is easy to manipulate. The high compressive strength from the spherical silver tin alloy within the specially formulated glass ionomer, allows it to withstand the high forces that may be put upon the material.

Being radiopaque, Hi Dense is easy to detect on your radiographs and the mercury-free product is available in a capsule that does not require a capsule press. Alternatively you may opt for the hand mix version. Both versions produce a putty like consistency making it suitable for core build ups, as well as other applications such as a base underneath composite or amalgam restorations, Class II in deciduous and selected permanent teeth, or on root abutments for locating overdentures.
