Press release Large restorations made simple at chair-side with GC everX Posterior With everX Posterior, GC, the specialist in innovative filling technologies, has developed a glass fibre-reinforced composite, whose special material structure opens up new possibilities for filling large cavities. Short glass fibres effectively prevent the occurrence and spread of filling cracks and make it the ideal substructure for reinforcing any composite restorations. In addition, with everX Posterior GC is catering to the growing demand for an economic restoration alternative for big size cavities. The glass fibre-reinforced composite material is used as a substitute for dentine – in combination with a conventional composite as a substitute for enamel, such as G-ænial Posterior. Glass fibres provide minimal horizontal shrinkage and prevent fractures appearing in the final filling and propagating to the tooth structure, which is considered one of the main causes of failure in composite and amalgam restorations. The unprecedented strength of the restorations is especially due to the high fracture toughness of the material, which corresponds to that of dentine and is almost twice as high compared with many other composites. Plus, its reliable adhesion – both on the overlying composite as well as the underlying tooth structure – guarantees reliable fillings. To achieve aesthetic and wear resistance, everX Posterior should always be covered with a light-curing universal composite, such as one from the G-ænial product family. As a reinforcing material for direct composite restorations, everX Posterior is especially suitable for large cavities in the posterior area and as a dentine substitute it allows for the immediate treatment of major extended defects. Specifically these include: Cavities with three or more surfaces to be restored Cavities with missing dental cusps Deep cavities (including endodontically treated teeth) class I and II cavities plus Cavities after amalgam removal Cavities where inlays and onlays would also be indicated With everX Posterior, GC has created a high-performance material that opens up new options when it comes to composite restorations and is the dental specialist’s answer to an increasing demand for a low-cost restoration alternative for large and extended cavities.
