Evaluators’ Comments

• “Nice finish and polish with the EQUIA Forte Coat.”
• “Easy to pack, even in subgingival areas.”
• “When doing a core buildup and having to pack and contour to create a wall, this material makes it easy while also being less messy.”
• “Placed it on a sensitive tooth and it took the sensitivity away.”
• “I don’t like that it has to be triturated.”
• “Great for pediatric patients, however, once you consider the activating/dispensing gun as well, it can be bulky.”
• “A lot of steps, especially if you use the cavity conditioner.”

Indications

• Class I restorations
• Stress-bearing Class II restorations (with specific preparation)
• Non-stress bearing Class II restorations
• Intermediate restorations
• Class V and root surface restorations
• Core build ups

Clinical Tips

• This material is soft and cuts really easy when prepping for a core buildup.
• You want to sculpt it before it hardens too much as it gets sticker as it sets up.
• Use a fine diamond to finish.
• For Class V restorations, packing the material with your finger works well to contour to the root structure and is sometimes easier than using an instrument.
• Can use with cavity conditioner to improve adhesion.
