IonoStar® Molar

New glass ionomer restorative material in innovative application capsule

IonoStar Molar is a newly developed glass ionomer restorative material which comes in the new VOCO application capsules. The material is applied without conditioner or adhesive and scores particularly highly thanks to its non-sticky consistency and perfect marginal adaptation. IonoStar Molar can be modelled immediately after insertion and cures within four minutes. Its lastingly high level of fluoride release counteracts postoperative sensitivity. In conjunction with Easy Glaze, the nano-filled protective coating for surface sealing, IonoStar Molar can be used to quickly and easily create restorations which are as aesthetic as they are durable.

New type of formulation for optimal material and handling propertiesNew type of formulation for optimal material and handling properties

Ionostar Molar is based on VOCO´s decades of experience in developing glass ionomer cement materials, which have proved themselves a million times in everyday clinical application. Its new type of formulation gives IonoStar Molar its exceptionally good material properties as well as its high compressive strength and abrasion resistance. Furthermore, the new formulation ensures good handling properties and creates the possibility for a certain degree of adjustment of the material’s consistency by variation of the high-frequency mixer’s mixing duration. Depending on the given situation, the consistency can thus be adjusted to be either firmer or softer.

Suitable for a variety of indications

IonoStar Molar is suitable for restorations of non occlusion-bearing class I cavities, semi-permanent restorations of class I and II cavities, restorations of cervical lesions, class V cavities, treatment of root caries, restorations of class III cavities, restoration of deciduous teeth, for use as a base or liner and for core build-up as well as temporary restorations. This makes IonoStar Molar a versatile choice providing the required results for many indications, not least thanks to the handling advantages offered by VOCO’s new application capsule.

Advantages of the new VOCO application capsule

One special characteristic of the new VOCO application capsule is that an activator is no longer required. The capsule is merely pressed down onto a firm surface, pushing the coloured piston inside the capsule, which is then mixed as usual in a high-frequency mixer. Lift up the application tip of the capsule, insert into a conventional applicator, and the material is ready for application. Moreover, the new capsule design reaches smaller cavities and difficult-to-access areas in the mouth better than conventional application capsules.
