Shofu FX Ultra Glass Ionomer Restorative A2 Bulk Fill

Shofu FX Ultra Glass Ionomer Restorative A2 Bulk Fill is a next-generation, self-adhesive bulk-fill glass ionomer restorative designed to outperform conventional GICs in everyday clinical use. Its unique powder–liquid chemistry shows high initial reactivity and a rapid maturation process that harmonizes the refractive indices of glass core and matrix, delivering a remarkably translucent, aesthetic result straight after placement.

The material bonds chemically to enamel and dentin without additional conditioning, providing dependable adhesion and an excellent marginal seal to help limit microleakage. A smooth, non-tacky mix allows easy adaptation and bulk placement in a single step, saving chair time while maintaining precision. The robust ionically cross-linked matrix offers lasting stability under routine intra-oral forces. With sustained fluoride release and the ability to recharge from topical sources, FX ULTRA supports long-term caries prevention and biocompatibility.
