Geristore® is the self-adhesive, dual-cure, easy-to-use, resin-modified glass ionomer of choice for treating a variety of issues, simply and reliably. It boasts amazing biocompatibility that enables the tissue to reattach to Geristore as it would to natural tooth structure.
What is Geristore used for?
Geristore® is used for surgical repair of root perforations and as an adjunct to guided-tissue regeneration (Abitbol et al., 1995, 1996; Behnia et al., 2000; Resillez-Urioste et al., 1998).
How do you apply Geristore?
Coat the inside surface of the band and tooth with the Geristore mixture and slide the band into place. Remove excess with a sable brush dipped in Tenure S. Geristore is compatible with any esthetic orthodontic hard ware (por ce lain, acrylic, or plas tic).
What is resin ionomer?
Resin ionomers also are made from glass filler with acrylic acids and acrylic resin. They also are used for very small, non-load bearing fillings (between the teeth), on the root surfaces of teeth, and they have low to moderate resistance to fracture. Ionomers experience high wear when placed on chewing surfaces.
Is Geristore a glass ionomer?
Geristore is a new multi-use dual-cure glass-ionomer restorative that has been introduced recently. There are many clinical applications for this material, some of which are presented in this article.
What is RMGI?
Resin-modified glass ionomers (RMGI) were developed in an attempt to improve mechanical properties, decrease setting time, and attenuate moisture sensitivity. Simplistically, RMGIs are a hybrid of glass ionomers and composite resin, and thus contain acid-base and polymerizable components.
