Proven GIC benefits + innovative technology = DeltaFil

Glass ionomer cements offer numerous advantages and have an established presence in dental practices for good reasons.
These cements are particularly suitable for specific patient groups such as children and senior citizens, as their special requirements can be optimally fulfilled. Until now, however, the use of these materials has been limited on the grounds of mechanical properties, such as abrasion behaviour and aesthetics. DeltaFil is a GIC based on an innovative technology – elastomeric micelle technology (EMT). Elastic micelles are dispersed within the GIC, increasing fracture toughness and thereby strengthening the cement. This results in a greater resistance of the restorations without effects on biocompatibility and fluoride release.

DELTAFIL – A UNIVERSAL RESTORATIVE MATERIAL WITH PROVEN GIC PROPERTIES

DeltaFil: New Possibilities thanks to elastomeric micelles.

MINIMAL DEVELOPMENT OF CRACKS THANKS TO MICELLE TECHNOLOGY: Elastomeric micelles minimise the development of cracks in the filling material.

DeltaFil is an innovative new glass ionomer cement with EMT.

Its defining feature: elastomeric micelles incorporated into the material prevent cracks from developing. In addition to increased stability, the patent-pending micelle technology developed by DMG also ensures particularly easy handling, similar to that of composites.
