EQUIA™
A Complete Glass Ionomer Based Bulk Fill Rapid Restorative System

Introducing the first restorative system of its kind to balance quick and easy handling with excellent aesthetics.

The development of EQUIA was based on the positive feedback from years of clinical experience with high-viscosity GIC restorations, of which longevity has been highlighted again in recent systematic literature reviews.* On this basis, there is evidence that resin coating optimizes the physical properties of the EQUIA restoration. Numerous ongoing worldwide clinical studies are showing very promising results:*

• When evaluating 150 restorations retrospectively after two years, it was concluded that EQUIA may be used as a permanent restoration material for any size Class I and in conservative Class II restorations*
• When compared with micro-hybrid composite resin over a period of 12 months, EQUIA was found to be as efficacious as the micro-hybrid composite resin system*
• In a 2011 study of 245 patients covering two years, it has been concluded that the EQUIA system seems to be a reliable choice for long-term dental restorations, even in load-bearing teeth*
• Clinical results indicate that EQUIA shows an excellent initial color match*

EQUIA is the first self-adhesive posterior restorative system that balances quick and easy handling with excellent aesthetics:

• Class I, II and V restorations
• Amalgam alternative
• Composite alternative
• Pediatric restorations
• Geriatric restorations
• Special needs patients
• High caries risk patients
• Core build-up
• High strength and wear resistance
