Ammdent GI Silver is a Glass Ionomer Silver Reinforced Restorative cement that combines the proven benefits of glass ionomer with the strength of spherical silver-tin alloy. Designed for dental professionals who demand reliability, GI Silver delivers exceptional adhesion, sustained fluoride release, and high compressive strength — making it the go-to choice for a wide range of restorative applications.

Key Features

• Capable of forming satisfactory bonds with enamel and dentin
• Releases fluoride over a prolonged period for ongoing caries protection
• Promotes good biological response (excellent biocompatibility)
• Coefficient of thermal expansion close to that of tooth structures
• Reinforced with spherical silver-tin alloy for high compressive and adhesion strength
• Micro fine powder for smooth mixing and application
• Premixed silver powder for convenience

Indications

• Core build-up
• Restoration of primary teeth
• As a base or liner
• Class I, limited Class II (low stress-bearing areas), temporary fillings
• Intermediate restoratives and base material for Class I and II cavities using the sandwich technique
• Class V restorations in non-aesthetic situations
• Restorative in the field using the ART technique

Composition

Powder: Fluoro Alumino Silicate Glass powder and Silver-Tin Alloy spherical powder.
Liquid: Polyacrylic Acid Solution.

Directions for Use

Powder and Liquid Dispensing

The recommended powder-to-liquid ratio is 2 level scoops of powder to 2–3 drops of liquid.

Mixing

1. Dispense powder and liquid onto a mixing pad or glass slab.
2. Divide the powder into 2 equal parts.
3. Mix the first portion with all of the liquid for 15–20 seconds.
4. Incorporate the remaining portion and mix thoroughly for 20 seconds.
5. Note: A heavy consistency is recommended.

Restorative Technique

1. Prepare teeth using standard techniques. Extensive mechanical retention is not necessary.
2. For pulp capping, use light cure calcium hydroxide paste as a base or liner.
3. Wash and dry the prepared tooth structure but do not desiccate.
4. Mix the required amount of cement.
5. Working time: 1 min 30 sec at 23°C (73.4°F). Higher temperatures will shorten working time.
6. Remove surface moisture.
7. Setting time: 5 min 30 sec from the start of mixing.
