Clinical Overview
Maxxion R is a self‑curing, fluoride‑releasing glass ionomer cement formulated for restorative use in both primary and permanent teeth. Ideal for Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) and minimally invasive restorations, it delivers high surface hardness and sustained fluoride release for enhanced longevity and caries prevention.
Key Benefits
- High fluoride release & recharge: Supports remineralization and lowers secondary caries risk.
- Excellent surface hardness: Durable, wear‑resistant restorations for interim and definitive use.
- Minimally invasive: Effective adhesion without retention features—ideal for ART and conservative cavities.
- Versatile application: Suitable for primary teeth restorations, provisional permanent fillings, cavity liners, and pit fissures.
Kit Contents
- 10 g bottle cement powder (Shade A3)
- 8 g bottle polyacrylic acid liquid
- 1 powder scoop
- 1 mixing pad
Working & Setting Times
- Mixing ratio: 1 shallow scoop powder : 1 drop liquid (after vigorous shaking).
- Mixing: Gradually combine half powder, then remaining to achieve homogenous, glossy paste.
- Setting time: 4–6 minutes at ambient temperature; restoration sets while still glossy.
- Note: Best finish and polish results occur 24 h post-insertion.
Indications
- Class I–V restorations in deciduous teeth
- Provisional restorations in permanent teeth (long-term interim)
- Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) applications
- Cavity lining under composite or amalgam restorations
- Repair of non‑carious cervical lesions (e.g. abfractions)
Instructions for Use
- Remove carious dentin only; no need for mechanical retention.
- Shake powder and liquid bottles well. Condition cavity with polyacrylic acid (liquid) for 10 s; rinse and gently dry to avoid dehydration.
- Measure 1 shallow scoop powder to 1 drop liquid onto mixing pad.
- Mix: first half powder with liquid, then add remainder gradually until smooth and shiny.
- Apply immediately into cavity; seat while glossy.
- Allow to set (≈4–6 min), then remove excess with probe or scaler.
