Equia Forte GC

EQUIA Forte HT from GC is a bulk fill glass hybrid restorative system with increased strength, improved translucency and long-term proven performance. 

Taking glass hybrid to the next level

For glass hybrids, a mix of different particle sizes is used. The strength and handling could be further improved in EQUIA Forte HT by developing an intelligent control of the distribution and interaction of these glass particles. The result? A stronger and non-sticky material, perfect for bulk-fill placement, even in load-bearing Class II restorations.

Increased translucency

Pushing the glass hybrid technology even further, EQUIA Forte HT now has a perfectly adapted translucency for better looking posterior restorations. The refractive index of the fillers has been adapted to the matrix. As a result, the final restorations will look more natural and aesthetic.

Strong

Glass hybrid systems offer the strength of the latest innovative glasses combined with the wear resistance of a filled coating. The unique synergy between the coating and the restorative material improves the durability and wear resistance of the restorations.

Effortless procedure

EQUIA Forte HT has been designed to make your daily restorative work as light and efficient as possible. Since rubber dam placement and adhesive application are obsolete, the restoration can be finished in no time. It is a material that is easy to use, yet the longevity is not compromised.

Excellent biocompatibility

EQUIA Forte HT can be used in the partial caries excavation technique to create minimally invasive preparations (MI). As no etching is used and the system relies on chemical adhesion, there is less risk of post-operative sensitivity – which also makes it a safe treatment solution.

Long-term proven performance

EQUIA Forte HT is a reliable system based on 12 years of clinical experience with EQUIA. The longevity of posterior EQUIA restorations has been proven in many independent, longterm clinical studies1-5. Based on the excellent first results, the glass hybrid systems EQUIA Forte and EQUIA Forte HT are expected to deliver the same excellent outcome.

• A perfect solution for the replacement of defective amalgam restorations: The material can be placed in bulk and is easy to pack & contour. It takes only 3’25” to complete your restorations!
• Easy posterior restorations in a few steps - without absolute isolation: The moisture tolerance of EQUIA Forte HT enables easy restoration of deep cavities, even when a rubber dam cannot be placed. The use of sectional matrix will contribute to the longevity of the restorations.
• Restoration of sensitive, hypomineralised MIH teeth in young patients: The chemical adhesion of the material – even to untreated dentine - offers a more sustainable solution in situations where bonding is compromised. The material can be easily placed after partial manual caries removal, making it easier to use in hypersensitive patients.

EQUIA Forte Coat
