EQUIA family

ALSIP, Illinois--GC America has announced launch of EQUIA Fil and EQUIA Coat.

By combining EQUIA Fil and EQUIA Coat, GC America created the EQUIA Rapid Restorative System.

The development of EQUIA was based on the positive feedback from years of market research and clinical experience with high-viscosity glass ionomer cement (GIC) restorations, of which clinical longevity was presented at the 2011 International Association Dental Research in San Diego, Calif. On this basis, there is evidence that resin coating of EQUIA improves the physical properties of the restoration. Numerous ongoing worldwide clinical studies and evaluations show promising results.
