Glass Hybrid Technology: Uses a mix of different particle sizes to increase the density and strength of the restoration matrix.

High Translucency: Optimized refractive index allows for better aesthetic blending compared to traditional glass ionomers.

Bulk Fill: Can be placed in a single bulk increment without the need for layering, saving clinical time.

Superior Physical Properties: Increased fracture toughness and wear resistance suitable for stress-bearing Class II restorations.

Bioactive Properties: Provides high fluoride release at the tooth-restorative interface and promotes remineralization.

EQUIA Forte HT Fil is a bulk-fill, glass hybrid restorative system that represents an advanced generation of glass ionomer technology. It combines a high-molecular-weight polyacrylic acid with a unique glass hybrid filler to provide enhanced mechanical properties and translucency. It is designed as a fast-setting, aesthetic alternative to amalgam and composite for long-term posterior restorations, offering excellent chemical adhesion and fluoride release.

Product Type: Bulk-fill glass hybrid restorative system.

Capsule Content: 0.40g Powder / 0.13g (0.10mL) Liquid per capsule.

Shade Shown: A3.

Mixing Time: 10 seconds (using a high-speed capsule mixer).

Working Time: 1 minute 30 seconds from the start of mixing.

Net Setting Time: 2 minutes 30 seconds.

Storage: Store in a cool, dark place (4–25°C / 39.2–77.0°F).

50 x Capsules: Individually foil-wrapped EQUIA Forte HT Fil capsules.

1 x EQUIA Forte Coat: 4mL bottle of protective resin coating (as shown in the accompanying imagery).

Accessories: Disposable micro-tip applicators and a dispensing dish for the coating.

Preparation: Prepare the cavity using minimal intervention techniques. A conditioner (like GC Cavity Conditioner) should be applied for 10 seconds, rinsed, and gently dried.

Activation: Shake the capsule to loosen the powder. Depress the plunger to activate and place it into a high-speed capsule mixer.

Mixing: Mix for 10 seconds.

Placement: Load the capsule into the applier and extrude the material into the cavity in one bulk increment.

Finishing: Once the material has reached its initial set (approx. 2.5 minutes), contour using water-cooled fine diamond burs.

Coating: Apply EQUIA Forte Coat to the surface of the finished restoration and light-cure for 20 seconds.

Manufacturer: GC Corporation.

Origin: Tokyo, Japan.

Main Indications: Class I restorations, stress-bearing Class II restorations (see IFU for specific cavity sizes), intermediate restorations, and core build-up.

Compatibility: For maximum durability, it must be used in combination with EQUIA Forte Coat.

GC Corporation ensures the quality of the glass hybrid system for its entire shelf life when stored correctly. For EQUIA Forte HT Fil capsules, the standard warranty and shelf life is 2 years (24 months) from the date of manufacture.
