BioCoat, Premier Dental's new bioactive resin pit and fissure sealant featuring SmartCap Technology, provides relentless protection, outstanding adhesion and extended fluoride release.
SmartCap Technology, developed in partnership with Creighton University, utilizes patented semipermeable resin microcapsules. In BioCoat, the rechargeable SmartCap microcapsules are filled with ionic solutions of fluoride, calcium and phosphate, which diffuse in and out of the sealant. Studies have shown that even at six months, ion release continues at a significant rate. The ions supersaturate the oral environment around the enamel, disrupting the demineralization cycle and continuously supporting the remineralization process. The extended release of remineralization ions provides long-term protection while strengthening enamel and sealing margins against microleakage.
BioCoat is a 56 percent filled resin formula that provides added strength and excellent long-term resistance to wear, with a compressive strength comparable to flowable composites. The high filler content lowers polymerization shrinkage, protecting against gap formation along the margins when cured. The resin sealant is very resistant to oral solubility, which most practitioners find is problematic with glass ionomer and resin-filled glass ionomer sealants.
The sealant's thixotropic properties and bubble-free application allows for complete penetration into even the smallest pits and fissures. BioCoat's shear bond strength of 32MPa ensures long-term retention.
