EQUIA™
Self-Adhesive, Aesthetic Posterior Restorative

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

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*
