Capsule Waste Evaluation for Restorative Materials: Why EQUIA Forte HT Is a Smart Choice for Minimising Waste in Dentistry

In a 2023 study published by The Dental Advisor, titled Capsule Waste Evaluation for Restorative Materials, offers compelling data supporting the environmental benefits of EQUIA Forte HT. The study evaluated five different capsule-based restorative materials, focusing on packaging efficiency and the amount of usable material delivered per capsule.

The study found that glass ionomer cements (GICs) - the category EQUIA Forte HT falls under - already have the smallest overall Global Warming Potential (GWP) when compared to amalgams and resin-based composites. However, EQUIA Forte HT goes a step further with a packaging design that is uniquely efficient.

“EQUIA Forte HT Fil capsule packaging has less total mass than the other products tested while wasting the least amount of packaging per gram of usable restorative, making it the most efficient packaging design.”

This means not only is less material wasted during application, but the packaging itself contributes less to environmental impact - a win-win for both clinicians and the planet.

Reducing single-use plastic and material waste in dental procedures is an important step toward greener practice management. With products like EQUIA Forte HT, clinicians can maintain high standards of care while contributing to a more sustainable future.

For practices aiming to align with eco-friendly initiatives without sacrificing clinical performance, EQUIA Forte HT is a strong and responsible choice.

Clinical Case Study: Root canal re-treatment success with BioRoot Flow
CLINICAL CASE I By Dr. Lauren Kuhn Nuth. The success rate of non-surgical root canal treatment is high, however, inadequate obturation and inability to seal anatomical complexities can play a role in the long-term success of endodontic treatment. Traditional root canal sealers tend to shrink or wash-out—BioRoot™ Flow is a mineralbased, tricalcium silicate sealer with bioactive properties which slightly expands upon setting and has a high pH, therefore providing antimicrobial
properties.

The Menopause Symptom No One Talks About
An interview with Ms. Tatiana Brandt, MEd, RDH, Denmark. Menopause comes with a long list of symptoms most people can recite by heart – hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings. But there’s another change that often slips under the radar, even though it affects daily comfort, oral health, and overall wellbeing. Dry mouth, a surprisingly common yet rarely discussed symptom, can quietly reshape how women experience this stage of life.

Topical Fluoride Treatments – What do you prioritise?
Article by Stephen Langdon, Solventum Clinical Specialist. The first rosin based fluoride varnish was introduced way back in  the 1960’s and apart from the more recent inclusion of various forms  of calcium and phosphate in 2 or 3 commercially available varnish  options and a change to unit dose packaging, there has been very  little advancement in fluoride treatment technology for many years.
