Latalloy Plus

Features:

• Unicompositional: offers uniform distribution of all 3 elements Ag, Sn and Cu resulting in stability of the phases. It is the secret of the high resistance to corrosion.

• Spherical particles: offer improved plasticity resulting in optimal adaptation using as low as 43% mercury in the initial mix..

• Gas atomized alloy: offers rapid solidification processing (RSP) of the alloy resulting in rapid increase of compressive strength. After only 20 minutes, the strength exceeds the value set by the ADA for the 1-hour strength. Clinically, the amalgam is strong enough to permit amalgam core buidups to be prepared for crowns and to permit the taking of impressions during the same visit,  .

Indications for use:

 Core buidups and restoration of badly deteriorated molars.

Contra-indications for use:

 Do not use in persons with a known mercury allergy.

Carving:

Carving can be done immediately after the removal of the matrix. The cuttings that result

must be aspirated immediately. 

Polishing:

Can done on the same day under profuse water cooling. To avoid generation of heat during

polishing, the rotating instrument should be run at the lowest possible

speed.

Packaging:

 Self-activate capsules: 50 per Jar
