Bisco Fortify LC Composite Surface Sealant

Description

FORTIFY is intended for use as a composite surface sealant. Contouring and
finishing of posterior composite restorations with rotary instruments can create
microcracks and surface irregularities that contribute to composite wear during the
first six months of function. FORTIFY, a surface sealant formulated with an unfilled
resin, will reduce the wear of posterior composites by up to 45% at five years1
. A
composite surface sealed with FORTIFY, has improved wear resistance and longterm marginal integrity. FORTIFY is effective with all anterior/posterior composites
(Bis-GMA, or UDMA resin base), resulting in enhanced wear properties. Due to
the unique formulation, FORTIFY can be air-thinned significantly, then light-cured,
without interfering with the occlusion.

The principle use of FORTIFY is to penetrate and seal the surface of:

1. Direct Composite Restorations

2. Indirect Composite Restorations

3. Provisional Restorations

4. Amalgam Restorations

Unique Benefits:

A composite surface sealed with Fortify has improved wear resistance and long-term marginal integrity 

Fortify is effective with all anterior/posterior composites resulting in enhanced wear properties

Key Features

• Light-Cured: Ensures fast and efficient curing.
• Low Viscosity: Allows for smooth application and penetration into detailed areas.
• Wear Resistance: Enhances durability of composite surfaces.
• Marginal Integrity: Improves long-term seal and reduces the risk of gaps.
• Versatile: Effective with all anterior and posterior composites.

Packaging

• 1 x Fortify Composite Sealent (Bottel 5ml)

Directions for Use

For Newly Placed Restorations:

Following adjustment, finishing and
polishing of the final restoration, rinse the tooth and restoration with
copious amounts of water to remove all debris.

For Previously Placed Restorations:

Clean the entire surface with a
slurry of pumice and water.

2. Etch the surface of the restoration and approximately 1-2mm beyond the
tooth/restoration margin using an etchant according to manufacturer’s
instructions. For full coverage restorations, etch the entire surface of the
restoration.

3. Rinse with copious amounts of water and thoroughly air dry the tooth and
restoration.

4. Place a small amount of FORTIFY sealant in a mixing well. Apply a thin layer
to previously etched surfaces using a scrubbing motion. Air-thin by blowing
a gentle stream of air over this layer to assure an even distribution.

5. Light cure sealant for 10 seconds. Verify occlusion.

DISPOSAL: Refer to community provisions relating to waste. In their absence, refer
to national or regional provisions relating to waste.

STORAGE: Store at room temperature (20°C/68°F – 25°C/77°F).
