WHEN BIOACTIVITY MATTERS

Picture
Ceramir® Restore QuikCap is a resin-free and self-curing bioceramic restorative material. By combining a conventional glass ionomer with the Ceramir technology,  a tissue friendly and bioactive material is achieved.

It can be used in the same indications as the conventional glass ionomer restoratives but with the added benefit of  lower acid solubility, better chemical integration with teeth and beneficial mineralization properties.

The continuous release of calcium and fluoride ions combined with a unique level of biocompatibility make this product especially well-suited for use in pediatric and geriatric dentistry.


Ceramir Restore is the latest and greatest addition to the Doxa product line. This product is a huge asset in treating high risk decay patients

When to use Ceramir Restore:

  • Non-load bearing Class I and II restorations
  • Deciduous teeth restorations
  • Geriatric restorations
  • Intermediate restorative and base material for Class I and II cavities using the sandwich technique
  • Cervical (Class V) restorations
  • Core build ups
  • Temporary fillings
  • Dentin replacement

Key advantanges

Permanent seal of tooth-material interface
  • Chemical integration with teeth
  • Apatite formation
Durable
  • Neutralizes acid attack
  • Low acid solubility
  • Dry polish for a more durable surface
Low post-op sensitivity
  • Alkaline pH during curing
Strengthening of the surrounding dentin and enamel
  • Continuous fluoride release
  • Continuous calcium release

​Permanent seal of 
tooth-material interface

​Ceramir Restore QuikCap is part bioceramic and part glass-ionomer and utilizes both chemistries to create chemical integration and a permanent seal with teeth. Glass ionomers bond to the tooth structure by the attraction between the polyacid and the dentin mineral. The bioceramic material forms a chemical seal by growing its crystals directly from the tooth structure [1].
Picture
Products within the Ceramir family all induce apatite formation [2], which heals the material by filling crevices and sealing small interfacial gaps [3].
Picture

Durable

Ceramir Restore QuikCap has the ability to protect itself against acid attack by releasing hydroxyl ions and neutralizing the acid. While releasing hydroxyl ions the surface remodels and a dense and acid resistant surface is achieved, resulting in much lower acid erosion than other conventional glass ionomers [4].

The durability and esthetic appearance of the restoration is increased by dry polishing the surface [4].

​Low post-op sensitivity

The Ceramir technology has been shown to reduce the sensitivity both during and after preparation [5]. This has been attributed to the alkaline pH during curing [4] as well as the cell- and biocompatibility of the material [6].
Picture

​Strengthening of the surrounding dentin and enamel

Ceramir Restore QuikCap has a c​ontinuous calcium and fluoride release. Fluoride is well used within dentistry to help strengthen enamel, which it does by the formation of fluoride substituted hydroxyapatite.

The calcium release combined with the alkaline pH create an optimal environment to rebuild the surrounding dentin and enamel. The Ceramir technology has been shown to rebuild and strengthen the dentin after an attack by caries [7].
