Whilst there have been advances in dental materials over the last few years, glass-ionomers continue to command an important place in the dentists’ armament. DENTSPLY, the Company behind the original development of glass-ionomers, are pleased to announce the launch of ChemFlex™ - the new condensable glass-ionomer. 

ChemFlex™ offers several advantages over the more traditional glass-ionomers. The cleanser and mixing liquid have been combined in one bottle, thus reducing the number of products needed in the surgery. The developers of ChemFlex™ were also able to balance the physical properties in a way which eliminates the typical cracks that dentists come across when glass-ionomers dry out. These unique properties enable the dentist to finish the product with water spray immediately after setting. It also reduced the application steps of the varnish to a simple one coat procedure after the finishing process.

The advanced and fine balanced physical properties of ChemFlex™ make it suitable for use in stress bearing situations and in posterior cavities.The setting time of 5 minutes from the start of mix means that prolonged waiting and chair times are a thing of the past, unlike traditional glass-ionomers. The consistency of ChemFlex™ may be adjusted from a material stiff enough to pack, to a soft, almost flowable consistency when required. Two coloured scoops for both consistencies guarantee reliable mixing ratios.

ChemFlex™ is radio-opaque and is available in a range of Vita shades as well as a further opaque shade for use in core build up. These advantages make ChemFlex™ a unique product with maximum ease of application and handling, safety and reliability.
