Description

TEETHMATE™ F-1 is a fluoride-releasing, light-curing pit and fissure sealant material with strong adhesive properties. It is offered to simplify the “flow control” with a newly developed pin application system. The stable copolymer which releases fluoride is one of Kuraray’s own inventions. TEETHMATE™ F-1 is an unfilled composite of low viscosity that penetrates deep into pit and fissures so that the impairment of the antagonist is kept to a minimum. The balanced product formula of TEETHMATE™ F-1 includes the adhesive monomer MDP, which is also used in the resin cement PANAVIA™ F 2.0 and the bonding system CLEARFIL™ SE BOND. The special properties of the monomer MDP give TEETHMATE™ F-1 a genuine chemical adhesion and better retention on the etched tooth enamel.
