3M ESPE is clicking on all cylinders with the introduction of 3M ESPE Vitrebond Plus Light Cure Glass Ionomer Liner/Base--featuring the benefits of the original Vitrebond, plus an easier to mix paste-liquid formulation and faster, easier dispensing from the Clicker dispenser for the right mix every time.

Recommended for use as a liner or base under composite, amalgam, metal and ceramic restorations, Vitrebond Plus light cure glass ionomer liner/base delivers a strong bond to dentin and seals teeth to help protect against microleakage.

Its ability to reduce the effects of polymerization shrinkage separates it from GC Fuji Lining LC and flowable liners. In addition, the product features the popular dispenser used with 3M ESPE RelyX Luting Plus Cement and 3M ESPE RelyX ARC Adhesive Resin Cement.

"Vitrebond Plus light cure glass ionomer liner/base sets itself apart with all the qualities you'd expect from a GI liner product, with the added benefit of being available in the award-winning Clicker dispenser," said Kevin Reilly, Marketing Development Supervisor, 3M ESPE.

"With a faster curing time than powder-liquid formulas, no additional hardware needed and all the traditional GI qualities, such as fluoride release, this latest introduction continues to show 3M ESPE's dedication to delivering innovative new products and delivery systems to meet dentists' needs."
