Particularly fast, particularly natural: IonoStar Plus from VOCO, the newly developed glass ionomer restorative material in the innovative application capsule, is ideal in cases requiring a fast and aesthetic solution. It has four significant advantages over other glass ionomers: very easy to extract from the capsule, the material at first has excellent wetting characteristics, before changing its viscosity and then being malleable for at least one minute without sticking. Flowable, yet packable – this makes IonoStar Plus the only glass ionomer material to provide ideal viscosity at every stage of application.

Moreover, the material is notable for its speed. After only 10 seconds of mixing it is soft, and within three minutes of starting application it is ready for smoothing. The curing time is just two minutes. This is a valuable advantage, particularly in the treatment of patients with low compliance, such as children.

IonoStar Plus is also the very first GI cement to offer fluorescence corresponding to the natural tooth, so there is no aesthetic impact even when treating anterior teeth, for example in the case of class V fillings. Its particularly high fluoride release counteracts the formation of secondary caries.

IonoStar Plus is available in the new VOCO application capsule, which can be used without an activator. It is simply pushed down onto a firm surface (such as a table) so that the coloured plunger is pushed inside the capsule. Then it is mixed as usual in a high-frequency mixer for 10 seconds. After insertion into a standard applicator, the application cannula of the capsule just needs to be turned upwards and the material is ready for filling. The new capsule design also makes it easier to reach smaller cavities and difficult-to-access areas in the mouth.
