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.
