Shofu Hy-Bond Glasionomer CX

Shofu Hy-Bond Glasionomer CX

Shofu Hy-Bond Glasionomer CX is an enhanced glass ionomer luting cement developed for reliable and long-term permanent cementation. It contains Shofu’s patented Hy-Agent additive (tannic acid, zinc fluoride and strontium fluoride), which significantly improves physical properties while reducing decalcification of enamel and dentin.

The Hy-Agent effectively seals dentinal tubules, helping to prevent pulpal irritation and minimize post-operative sensitivity. Hy-Bond Glasionomer CX delivers an excellent marginal seal, strong adhesion to tooth structure and durable clinical performance, making it especially suitable for demanding prosthetic cases.
