Description:

The 10-910 Intermediate Restorative Material (IRM) is a top-tier temporary restorative solution created from zinc oxide–eugenol reinforced with polymers to enhance its strength, sealing capacity, and usability. Packaged in a practical 50 g jar, IRM 10-910 offers dental professionals a versatile and trustworthy option for numerous temporary restorative applications such as emergency fillings, provisional restorations, cavity liners, and surgical dressings. Material Composition & Benefits IRM consists of a zinc oxide powder base mixed with eugenol liquid, further augmented with resin components that boost its durability and longevity. This formulation results in a product that sets firmly but remains sufficiently pliable for easy shaping and finishing. The eugenol provides natural sedative properties, calming irritated pulpal tissues and alleviating postoperative discomfort—an important advantage for patients with pulpitis or sensitivity. Sealing & Mechanical Properties A key feature of 10-910 IRM is its capacity to establish a moisture-resistant seal, which is crucial for blocking bacterial ingress and safeguarding the pulp between appointments. Its compressive strength and fracture resistance surpass those of typical zinc oxide–eugenol blends, making it ideal for use in load-bearing and occlusal situations. The material can be trimmed and polished with relative ease, facilitating accurate occlusal adjustments and enhancing patient comfort. Clinical Versatility IRM’s adaptability renders it suitable for numerous clinical uses, including: Emergency restorations: Prompt placement during same-day trauma or caries treatments. Provisional crowns and bridges: Temporary support while lab work is completed. Base or liner: Serving as a soothing liner beneath restorative materials in cases of pulpal inflammation. Surgical dressings: Protecting and soothing tissues after procedures like apicoectomy or alveoloplasty. Caries control restorations: Implemented in atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) or interim care scenarios. Ease of Use & Workflow Integration The material's consistent and smooth handling makes mixing straightforward and reliable. IRM 10-910 sets in approximately 3-4 minutes, allowing ample time for placement and adjustments. It maintains its form under pressure, enabling clinicians to carry out fine adjustments and finishing quickly. Patient Comfort & Biocompatibility Due to its eugenol content, the material possesses analgesic properties and is well-accepted by soft tissues. It delivers a cooling effect, further improving patient comfort, particularly for sensitive or inflamed teeth. Storage & Safety The 50 g jar is designed for convenient dispensing in clinical environments, featuring a secure seal to preserve the integrity of both powder and liquid. IRM 10-910 is a single-component formulation requiring only mixing with eugenol, streamlining inventory management and minimizing waste.
