Admira Fusion tutorial

Just had this placed in six of my molars after mercury filling removal. Hope and pray it is healthy and also lasts.

Did you ever get a reply on what metal atom they use in this product? How are they holding up so far? Who did you have replace them? I have amalgams I need replaced too.

Your dentist selected the probably most biocompatibel filling material and you can expect long lasting results under normal oral situations.

[@benkleschinsky]

I just had my dentists use this material as well. I am also wondering how long this will hold up. As this is a relatively new product made in 2016, time will tell but I am glad to know that I have both mercury and BPA free fillings.

Fuji and other makers leach fluoride for it's anti-bacterial properties. Do the Fusion have any anti-microbial ingredient?

[@VOCOAmerica]

Fuji is a Glass Ionomer material. While it is great for its class and its intended use, it is not a permanent restorative material. Admira Fusion is a permanent restorative. To have a significant effect of fluoride you need an ion exchange and this would make Admira Fusion weaker. Due to its low shrinkage and shrinkage stress Admira Fusion reduces the chances of secondary carries as long the patient keeps a good oral hygiene.

I have been reading that aluminum is often strongly bonded to silica, is this silica oxide preparation free of all types of aluminum for those of us who are sensitive to aluminum?

[@benkleschinsky]

No need to fear because this is made of silicon quartz resin not silica.
