FUTURA | Amalgams

Description

DESCRIPTION
Futura Plus is a dispersed phased non gamma-2 amalgam alloy with high silver content, especially designed for outstanding marginal integrity.
FUTURA BASIC
Futura Basic is a non gamma-2 40% silver amalgam alloy with a mixture of spherical/irregular particles in self-activa-ting capsules, especially designed for out-standing corrosion resistance and lowest creep value.
Futura Standard is a high copper non gamma-2 amalgam alloy based on a mixture of irregular atomized and lathe cut particles, especially designed for out-standing corrosion resistance and lowest creep value.

Clinical indications
Stress-bearing occlusal restorations in the posterior area (class I and II).

Composition
Futura Plus :
70% Silver, 18% Sn , 12% Cu.
The alloy powder is a mixture of irregular atomized particles.
Futura Basic : 
40% Silver, 31% Sn , 29% Cu .
The alloy powder is a mixture of spherical/irregular atomized particles.
Futura Standard :
44,5% Silver, 30% Sn, 25,5% Cu.
The alloy powder is a mixture of irregular atomized and lathe cut particles.

Features and Benefits
