Micron Superior 2 Radiopaque Glass Ionomer Restorative
Micron Superior 2 is a conventional glass ionomer restorative cement for temporary and permanent fillings in low-stress areas. It is radiopaque, releases fluoride continuously, and resists dissolution, with handling characteristics suited to straightforward placement.
Key features and clinical use
- Chemically self-adhesive: bonds directly to enamel and dentin without separate etching or bonding agents.
- High radiopacity for clear contrast on dental X-rays.
- Continuous fluoride release to help protect against secondary caries.
- Low solubility and good marginal seal to limit fluid ingress at restoration edges.
- Practical handling: suitable working time, non-sticky consistency, easy mixing, shaping, and direct application.
- Biocompatible formulation with low expansion to approximate tooth structure.
- Tooth-like esthetics and translucency.
- High compressive strength with wear resistance under mild occlusal loads.
- Indications: Class III and Class V restorations and use in primary teeth; for temporary and permanent restorations in low-load regions.
