Overview

The history of Dyract

The first generation of Dyract was introduced in 1993. It was developed in an attempt to combine the best properties of composites and glass-ionomers. Composites offer surface hardness, physical strength, low shrinkage and resistance to wear, while glass-ionomers offer low technique sensitivity and release fluoride ions, but have the disadvantage of being rather opaque and very brittle.
Dyract is a generation of compomer restorative materials developed by DENTSPLY. Long-term fluoride release is characteristic for this product group.Today with more than 250 full papers listed in PubMed on fluoride-releasing restoratives [Wiegand et al., 2007]1 it can be concluded that both glass-ionomers and DENTSPLY compomers show cariostatic properties under simulated cariogenic conditions in vitro.

Dyract XP is an additional brand of Dyract® eXtra. Therefore, characteristics applying to Dyract eXtra apply to Dyract XP as well. Dyract XP is available in the most popular Vita* shades.

Anti-cariogenic effect due to long-term fluoride release

* Dyract XP is an additional brand of Dyract eXtra. Thus the shown Dyract eXtra study applies to Dyract XP as well.
