EQUIA is Quick Extra fast setting time

Shorter polishing time Application of a gloss instead of time consuming polishing with

rotating instruments

Only 3 minutes 30 seconds needed from capsule

mixing to patient dismissing!

The surface becomes rough

and loses gloss due to wear ordissolution.

G-COAT PLUS protects restorationfrom wear or dissolution and

keeps the surface glossy

EQUIA is Intelligent Improvement of the properties of the

restoration in time After several months through uniform abrasion of G-

COAT PLUS the material becomes harder through uniquematuration effect of saliva

Red: Coated until 80 days, soaked in saliva

At 80 days, coating was removed and soaked in saliva again.Maturation increased much more than when the material wasuncoated. Afterwards surface hardness increases.
