Voco Ionolux Glass Ionomer Restorative Cement

• Composition: Resin-reinforced, radiopaque glass ionomer
• Working Time: Individually adjustable by light-curing
• Powder/Liquid Ratio: 3.2 : 1 (g/g)
• Curing Time: 20 seconds per layer
• Storage Conditions: 4°C - 23°C, protect from light
• Shades: A2, A3
• Tightly close powder and liquid container immediately after use.

Preparation:

• Minimally invasive cavity preparation, conserving healthy tooth substance.
• No need for undercuts.
• Class V cavities should have a minimum depth of 1 mm.
• Remove preparation residues with water spray, then dry with air (surface should remain slightly glossy, avoid overdrying).
• Place a matrix if necessary.
• If residual dentine thickness is insufficient, cover the area near the pulp with a calcium hydroxide product.

Shade Selection:

• Use a VITA shade guide on a moist tooth to select the appropriate shade.

Mixing:

• Shake the powder and liquid bottles thoroughly for at least 3 seconds before dispensing.
• Dispense a level spoonful of powder onto a mixing pad.
• Close the bottle immediately after dispensing to protect the powder from moisture.
• Add 2 drops of liquid per level scoop of powder (powder/liquid ratio 3.2:1 g/g).
• Mix the powder into the liquid using spatulas made of solid plastic or other abrasion-proof materials.
• Achieve a homogeneous consistency by spreading out the paste several times.
• Process the cement at room temperature (15°C - 23°C).

Application:

• Apply the mixed Ionolux into the cavity with a suitable instrument and contour it.
• Light-cure with a polymerization lamp.
• For fillings over 2 mm in thickness, apply and light-cure in layers.

Light-Curing:

• Use market-available polymerization lamps with an output not lower than 500 mW/cm².
• Curing time is 20 seconds per layer.
• Keep the light-curing lamp tip as close as possible to the filling surface for effective curing.
• Curing depth may decrease if the distance is more than 5 mm.

Finishing:

• After light-curing, remove excess material.
• Finish and polish the filling as usual.

Warnings and Precautions:

• In case of contact with oral mucosa or skin, use a cotton swab soaked in alcohol, then rinse with water.
• In case of eye contact, rinse well with plenty of water and consult an ophthalmologist.
• Avoid using phenolic substances, especially those containing eugenol or thymol, in combination with Ionolux.
• Ensure products supplied are suitable for their intended purpose.

Storage:

• Store between 4°C - 23°C.
• Tightly close both the powder and liquid containers immediately after use.
• Store in a dry area protected from light.
