Ionostar Plus
IonoStar Plus is a fast-setting, radiopaque, bulk-fill glass ionomer restorative material. Its wetting properties help to optimize marginal adaptation. In addition, it can be packed immediately after placement, is malleable for 1 minute, cures in 2 minutes, and offers high fluoride release. The restorative material is contained in a direct activation capsule. The capsule is activated by pressing it down on a hard surface and is then triturated, after which the tip is turned upwards for application of the material into the preparation.
