Shofu Hy-Bond Zinc Phosphate Cement

Description:

Shofu Hy-Bond Polycarboxylate Cement is a high-performance cement formulated with SHOFU's patented HY-Agent additive, which contains tannin-fluoride to provide additional benefits for dental restorations. This cement is specifically designed for cementation of cast restorations (crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays), as well as for the cementation of orthodontic appliances. The inclusion of HY-Agent enhances the compressive strength and helps to minimize post-operative sensitivity, ensuring a more comfortable experience for patients.

Key Features:

• HY-Agent Additive: This patented tannin-fluoride component helps to reduce post-operative sensitivity and increases compressive strength, providing greater long-term durability for the cement bond.

• High Adhesive Strength: It chemically adheres to tooth structure and cast appliances, providing strong and secure adhesion to both enamel and metal.

• Low Solubility: The cement has low solubility, ensuring that it will remain intact over time, offering a durable and long-lasting bond.

• Radiopaque: The cement is radiopaque, which allows for easy identification and evaluation of the cemented area in X-rays, ensuring accurate diagnosis and treatment.

• Easy to Mix and Manipulate: The cement is designed to be easy to mix and manipulate, which helps ensure an efficient and straightforward application process.

• Low Film Thickness: The cement has a very low film thickness, allowing for precise application and excellent adaptation to the restoration.

• Can be Used on Freshly Cut Dentin: Shofu Hy-Bond Polycarboxylate Cement can be applied directly to freshly cut dentin without causing any pulpal irritation, making it suitable for both new restorations and repairs.

• Less Technique Sensitive: The tannin-fluoride additives in the formula help make the cement less technique-sensitive, making it easier to work with for dental professionals.

Indications:

• Cementation of Crowns: Ideal for permanent cementation of cast crowns and metal crowns.
• Cementation of Bridges: Perfect for use in bridge restorations that require secure and reliable bonding.
• Cementation of Inlays and Onlays: Provides effective adhesion for inlays and onlays, ensuring a strong and stable fit.
• Orthodontic Appliances: Also indicated for the cementation of orthodontic bands and appliances.
• Lining of Cavities and Lesions: Can be used for lining under restorations or to fill areas of tooth lesions.

Advantages:

• Strong Adhesion: Provides a reliable bond between tooth structure and cast restorations, ensuring that restorations stay securely in place.

• Minimal Post-Operative Sensitivity: The tannin-fluoride additives help to minimize post-operative discomfort, making it a patient-friendly solution.

• Low Solubility and High Durability: The cement’s low solubility ensures that it will not degrade over time, making it an excellent choice for long-lasting restorations.

• Easy Handling: Shofu Hy-Bond Polycarboxylate Cement is easy to mix, apply, and adapt to restorations, making the application process smoother and more efficient.

• Radiopaque for Easy Diagnosis: Being radiopaque, it helps in identifying the cemented area during X-ray examination, allowing for better treatment planning and assessment.

• Suitable for Fresh Dentin: This cement can be used on freshly cut dentin without causing irritation, which is especially beneficial in restorations done in deep cavities.

Summary:

Shofu Hy-Bond Polycarboxylate Cement is a reliable, high-strength cement that offers superior adhesion and minimal sensitivity. Its tannin-fluoride additive ensures excellent compressive strength, and the cement is radiopaque for easy evaluation in radiographs. With its low solubility and ease of handling, it provides long-lasting, durable cementation for a wide range of dental restorations, including crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and orthodontic appliances.
