GC America Glass Hybrid

EQUIA Forte HT is GC's bulk-fill glass hybrid, a single-increment posterior restorative that needs no layering, no bonding agent and no incremental curing.

The chemistry adds high-molecular-weight polyacrylic acid and a reactive filler to conventional glass ionomer, then seals with EQUIA Forte Coat. It places in a fraction of the chair time of a layered composite and tolerates the moisture that makes composite fail.

Best fit: Class I, unstressed Class II, cervical lesions, geriatric and paediatric patients, and any operatory where isolation is realistically imperfect. Trade-off: it will not match an anterior composite for translucency, that is not what it is for.
