Ambar FGM is a two-step conventional adhesive system (5th

generation), which formula was developed to assure the adequate

penetration of the monomers into the collagen fibers of demineralized

dentin. Depois de polimerizado, After polymerization, Ambar generates

a stable and resistant adhesive film, contributing to its clinical longevity.

The presence of nanoparticles in the composition contributes to the

increase of the mechanical resistance and chemical stability of the

polymerized adhesive film. In addition, the chemical characteristics of

Ambar warrant adequate polymerization of the product on wet surfaces,

such as dentin.

SEE AMBAR’S HIGH PERFORMANCE IN CLINICAL EVALUATION:

The balance of the chemical composition of Ambar assures its excellent

polymerization, preventing the release of substances capable of causing post-

operatory sensibility, in addition to the formation of a good adhesive layer, with long

and obliterating tags, minimizing the movement of fluids to the dentin.

STEP BY STEP

The product is indicated for direct and indirect adhesive restorations (aid in

adhesive cementation) and also in repair of indirect restorations.

Below, a case is presented illustrating the way of application of the adhesive on dental surface

(enamel and dentin). This application should be preceded by the steps required as per each

indication, being that each situation may have a different clinical protocol.

1a - 1b: After cleaned, both

surfaces – of enamel and dentin –

should be conditioned for 15 seconds,

with phosphoric acid (Condac 37).

5 and 6: The adhesive is then

lightcured for 10 seconds (or 20

seconds for intracanal application) by

blue light lightcuring unit with minimum

power density of 400m W/cm2.

Then, restoration may continued or

proceeding with adhesive cementation,

etc., depending on the case.

4: The application of a slight air jet for 10 seconds

helps evaporation of the solvent and contributes

to the adhesion.

2: The acid is removed with plenty of

water and the surface is dried, leaving the

substrate slightly damp. If the surface is too

dry, a dampened cotton ball may be applied

to the tooth.

3: A drop of Ambar (FGM) should be

dispensed in micro application tips Cavibrush

(FGM). The first layer of adhesive is then

applied by rubbing it for 10 seconds. Then, a

second layer is applied for 10 seconds more,

using a new drop of adhesive.

Guiding Professor of the Post-Graduation Course of UEPG/PR/Brazil.

“I have followed the development of Ambar since its

preliminary stages up to the final formulation of the adhesive. I

was impressed by the laboratory and clinical results obtained

with the material, which were similar to the highly reputable

adhesives in the Brazilian and international markets. The

launch of Ambar will be a landmark in the market, showing the

Brazilian companies can formulate products with quality similar

and even above that of international products!”

Specialization in Dentistics (University of Iowa - USA); Doctor’s in Dental Materials (Catholic

University of Leuven - Belgium); Head Professor of Operatory Dentistics at the University of

Minnesota - USA.

“Ambar has resulted in an effectively filled hybrid layer.”

“The development of an adhesive system is always a

challenge to a company, since this situation requires many

efforts and many preliminary studies. In the case of Brazil, this

is an even higher challenge, because the domestic market

lacks good quality products manufactured here. FGM seems

to have again done its “home work”, because the lab and

clinical results with Ambar that we obtained have shown that

this adhesive is really a material of excellent quality and can

be used without any sort of suspicion by Brazilian dentists.”

Group Francci de Estudos em Estética; Coordinator of Update Courses in Dentistics at

FUNDECTO.

“Being a clinical and laboratory investigator, I received

Ambar to use in my private practice. Since I have a good

relationship with the researchers that tested Ambar and

know quite well how serious FGM is in looking into a product

exhaustively before launching it, I felt safe in using it clinically.

Immediately I could assess the post-operatory sensitivity,

which was zero in more than three months of usage. Its way

of application is similar to that of the major adhesive systems

of the same family already consecrated in the market. All

these issues warrant a smooth and safe change to the

consumers of the new national adhesive, Ambar.”
