5. Why LC glass-ionomers?
1. Adjustable manipulation time according to the dentist needs 2. Improved aesthetics and higher translucency 3. Increased mechanical properties of the restoration 4. Preservation of favorable properties of glass-ionomers

6. aesthetics of glass-ionomer cements

7. Advantages of KAVITAN® LC
Easy Manipulation
- Fast mixing
- Easy application
- Non-sticky consistency
- Sufficient manipulation time (3min)
- Short polymerization time (20s)
- Easy shaping and polishing

8. Advantages of KAVITAN® LC
High Resistance
- High compressive and flexural strength
(182 and 57MPa)
- Excellent depth of polymerization (4,2mm)
- High wear resistance
- Long-term fluoride release
- Biocompatibility

9. Advantages of KAVITAN® LC
Natural Aesthetics
-Available in VITA shades - A2, A3, B3, C3
-Lower opacity
-Very good finishing and polishing
-Natural appearance of the restoration

10. Indications KAVITAN® LC
Class V and III restoration in permanent teeth
Class I and II restoration not loaded with occlusal forces
Class I, II, III and V restoration in deciduous teeth
Adhesive liners under composite or amalgam fillings

11. Indications KAVITAN® LC
Core build-ups prior to preparation for crowns, inlays or onlays
Class I, II, III, and V laminated restorations
Fissure sealing

12. How to make a filling from GIC?

13. Working scheme in vitro
1. Clean the tooth surface
using of appropriate instruments (bowles, brushes...)
choosing the cement colour

14. Working scheme in vitro
2. Cavity preparation
preparation of carious lesions
smoothing of cavity margin

15. Cavity preparation

16. Working scheme in vitro
3. Preparation of the cavity
do not over-dry dentin!
apply KAVITAN CONDITIONER for 10s
(remove the „smear layer“)

17. Working scheme in vitro
4. Cement preparation
dose the powder and liquid
(in mixing ratio 2 : 1)

18. Working scheme in vitro
4. Cement preparation
pull the powder into liquid in 2 – 4 parts

19. Working scheme in vitro
4. Cement preparation
mixing time max. 30 – 45 s
homogenous and plastic consistency

5. Filling application
place the mixed cement (Centrix tips, etc.)
using of transparent foils is recommended

VARNISH
to protect
the surface

25. Frequently asked questions

26. What is the difference between LC glass-ionomers and compomers?
based on acidobasic
reaction
contains 5% of resin only
fluoride release
Anticarigennous
efect
Compomers:
based on composite resin (90%)
minimal fluoride release
Anticarigennous efect ???

27. KAVITAN® LC for all generation light-cured glass-ionomer cement
replacement of amalgam - children
semipermanent restoration - adults
cervical lesions - seniors

28. KAVITAN® LC appropriate combination with KAVITAN KONDICIONER =
removal „smear layer“

29. KAVITAN® LC appropriate combination with LC VARNISH
= to protect the surface
