Newly launched Beautifil II Gionomer from Shofu is a state of the art composite restorative material based on Pre-Reacted Glass Ionomer technology. This technology combines the benefits of glass ionomers with those of composite resins to produce a biocompatible, fluoride releasing, high strength, aesthetic material.
Due to the on-going release and recharge of the fluoride particles within Beautifil II, secondary caries is no longer a concern with the added benefit that plaque will not adhere to the surface of the restoration.
Saliva forms a material film on the surface of Beautifil II that is reported to minimise plaque adhesion and inhibit bacterial colonisation as an on-going process. The material takes on the colour of the surrounding tooth tissue. With a highly translucent finish this radiopaque versatile material exhibits wear resistance combined with a high filler load to ensure longevity of the final restoration.
To claim your free Beautifil II sample (without obligation, while stocks last), which includes 3 × single dose A2, 3 × single dose A3 and instructions for use, or for further information, please contact Shofu on 01892 870800.
