GC America: EQUIA Forte
GCA Logo EQUIA Forte intro package EQUIA Forte builds on the remarkable clinical performance of original EQUIA and presents an esthetic and effective alternative to amalgam, composites and compomers. EQUIA Forte consists of EQUIA Forte Fil, a high-strength glass ionomer (GI) restorative and EQUIA Forte Coat, a wear-resistant, self-adhesive, light-cured resin coating.

Subheader

EQUIA Forte Fil's glass hybrid innovation is achieved through the introduction of ultrafine, highly reactive glass particles, dispersed within the conventional GI structure. With the addition of a higher molecular weight polyacrylic acid, the new glass hybrid formulation builds a high-strength restorative.

EQUIA Forte Coat incorporates a new multi-functional monomer that produces a tougher resin matrix. Together, these innovations result in a strong bulk fill GI restorative system with exceptional physical properties and aesthetics.

EQUIA Forte is ideal for Class I, II and V restorations. Key benefits of EQUIA Forte:
  • Bulk fill
  • Easy and quick to use
  • Not technique sensitive
  • Non sticky and packable
  • No polymerization shrinkage or shrinkage stress
  • Optimal marginal seal that offers long-term resistance to microleakage and discoloration
  • High fluoride release at tooth restorative interface with recharge capability
  • Outstanding resistance to wear and acid erosion
  • Available in eight esthetic shades
  • Moisture tolerant (no rubber dam required)
  • Coefficient of thermal expansion is the same as dentin
  • Self-adhesion (chemical bond creates a hybridized layer)
  • Improved strength over other glass ionomer restoratives*
  • High fluoride release at interface and over time with recharge
  • Optimal marginal seal that offers long-term resistance to micro leakage and discoloration
In comparison to original EQUIA, EQUIA Forte extends the indications to include stress-bearing Class II Restorations, and is available in brand-new red packaging. EQUIA Forte Coat is available in a bottle (4 mL) and a new unit dose pack (contains 50, 0.1 mL units).

With two simple steps, EQUIA Forte creates economic, esthetic and effective solutions for Class I, II, and V Restorations.
