Description
Zirconomer Improved reinforced Glass Ionomer with special zirconia fillers defines a new class of restorative that promises the strength and durability of amalgam with the protective benefits of glass ionomer while completely eliminating the hazards of mercury while proviing sustained fluoride protection. Ideal for a range of restorations including permanent posterior restorative in patients with high risk as well as cases requiring strong structural cores and bases.
Superior Mechanical Properties
Zirconomer Improved outperforms restorative reinforced glass ionomer in stress bearing posterior restorations with notably high compressive strength and dimensional stability for long-lasting performance.
Remarkable Translucency
Zirconomer Improved is formulated with zirconia nano fillers that impart high level of translucency for a closer match to natural tooth colour, ideal even for cores
requiring coverage with high end all-ceramic restoration.
INDICATIONS
- Class I and II cavities in deciduous teeth
- Class I and II restoration in selected permanent teeth
- Repair of amalgam restored teeth when either tooth or restoration has fractured
- In all classes of cavities where radiopacity is a prime requirement
- Core build-up
- Repair of crown margins
- Country of Origin: Japan
- Manufacturer: Shofu
Frequently Asked Questions
Shofu Zirconomer is a zirconia-reinforced glass ionomer restorative material used for permanent posterior restorations, including Class I and Class II cavities, core build-ups, and other high-stress areas where conventional glass ionomers may not be sufficient.
Zirconomer contains zirconia fillers that significantly enhance strength, wear resistance, and durability compared to standard glass ionomer cements, making it suitable for load-bearing restorations.
Yes. Shofu Zirconomer provides sustained fluoride release, which helps prevent recurrent caries and supports long-term tooth health.
Yes. Like traditional glass ionomers, Zirconomer offers good moisture tolerance, making it especially useful in pediatric dentistry, geriatric patients, and clinical situations where ideal isolation is challenging.
Yes. Due to its high compressive strength and durability, Zirconomer is well suited for use as a core build-up material beneath crowns and bridge restorations.
