editorial today it s time to celebrate fgm is proud to announce that the company is celebrating 15 years and to commemorate with you we´ve prepared a special article so that you can learn more about the history of the company besides overcoming 8 million bleached and satisfied smiles with the whiteness products 2010 has brought many achievements and a pleasant sensation of well done work fgm has always made intense efforts to innovate investing strongly in researches in order to develop products that are effective and safe to patients and dentists this is the culture that has resulted in recognized actions from the market which is definitely driving us to keep in constantly improvement be recognized as an innovative company is a must for fgm and the dentistry market the acknowledgment of this achievement was met by winning the finep innovation prize in the south region of brazil which is brazil s top honor prize for innovative companies and institutions in brazil the company is launching three more innovative products ambar adhesive system which combines primer and bond in a single bottle orthocem a cement that offers more flexibility in luting brackets and allows the dentist to skip one phase of the clinical process and desensibilize nano p a new treatment for immediate relief and long-lasting control of sensitivity besides that after intensive research fgm has also created hemosthase gel the only hemostatic agent presented in the form of gel additional to that you will find in this issue of fgm news articles clinical techniques demonstrating the use of fgm products by leading dentistry experts and much more news have a good reading and a 2011 full of achievements expedient publishing editor fgm produtos odontológicos ltda edition #3 january 2011 address av edgar nelson meister 474 zip code 89219-501 55 47 3441-6100 joinville sc brazil www.fgm.ind.br fgm@fgm.ind.br managing director and marketing fgm bianca mittelstädt adeilton ramos braz ana claudia silveira maicon januario jonathan santana marluce atanásio ivone k de paula tiago pesce andreia vavassori silva lais mizuno editorial board friedrich georg mittelstädt bianca mittelstädt letícia dias ferri adeilton ramos braz marcia margarete meier associate editor orlando aguiar de oliveira mtb 20.461-sp art director ef graphic design editorial staff adeilton ramos braz bianca mittelstädt bruno lippmann constanza odebrecht débora de valgas eger friedrich georg mittelstädt lais mizuno letícia dias ferri marcia margarete meier vanessa eid da silva cardoso special thanks to adilson yoshio furuse américo mendes carneiro junior andré luiz fraga briso alessandro loguércio alessandra reis aline gonçalves andré felipe figueiroa carlos eduardo francci carlos eduardo vieira constanza odebrecht daniella p raggio evelise machado de souza ewerton nocchi conceição Ézio teseo mainieri felipe augusto villa verde guilherme carpena lopes guilherme martinelli garone jorge perdigão josé carlos romanini josé mondelli leonardo fernandes da cunha leonardo buso leonardo muniz letícia cunha a g de almeida letícia ferri letícia saraiva luís henrique fischer luiz narciso baratieri marcelo böenecker marcelo taborda marcos antônio de souza filho paula mathias paula de carvalho cardoso paulo henrique dos santos patrícia moraes bof rinaldo teles sanzio marques sergio vieira teresa vale vivian mainieri 4 fgmnews magazine edition 3 january 2011[close]

history ambar what about the fgm adhesive here it is four years ago fgm launched the composite resin opallis and with this release many professionals began to ask us and what about the fgm adhesive when will it come we continued with the development of dental products in the field of dental materials and in 2007 we launched the resin cement allcem again this led the professionals customers and partners to question us again and the fgm adhesive we need it fgm knew that such development would be complex and of great responsibility as this material connects the tooth structure to all other light-curing resin materials and this link could not fail the bonding to the dentin substrate is one of the biggest challenges existing in the restorative procedures in dentistry we need to bond a hydrophobic mixture of monomers with a porous water-filled dentin substrate for such aim a mixture of monomers dissolved in solvents is used and this should subsequently produce a polymer with good mechanical properties and chemical stability to reach a stable and long-lasting restoration it is really a challenge finding hydrophilic monomers capable to penetrate in the collagen network mesh and subsequently generate a high quality polymer was not an easy task the fgm faced the inefficient polymerization of monomers in the dentin moist substrate and searched chemical solutions to work around this problem and ensure quality of the formed polymer to reach this aim we have studied the solubility parameters of raw materials in various combinations as well as various fgm decided to wait until gathering knowledge maturity for the development of a material with desired success and the wait was worth the adhesive ambar surprised us with its excellent properties the release of the composite resin opallis was a landmark for fgm in terms of gathering knowledge and technology in the field of light-cured composites from the beginning we aimed to produce an adhesive system however as the latter is a product of high complexity the fgm decided to wait until gather enough knowledge so that the product would reach the desired success and the wait was worth it the adhesive ambar surprised us with its excellent properties we have determined as an aim that the adhesive to be developed would have properties comparable to the best adhesive systems in the market produced with our own technology and launched with an appropriate price for the brazilian market the adhesive to be developed should have had comparable properties to the best adhesive systems on the market be manufactured with our own technology and have an adequate price for the brazilian market 14 fgmnews magazine edition 3 january 2011[close]

history ambar different solvents for the adhesive which allowed us to conclude that the widely-used ethanol works well in the dentin bonding formulations fgm searched for substances capable of producing a high level of crosslinking and strength to the adhesive film and for that fgm have entered in the world of nanoparticles rescuing the fgm experience with the nanoparticles of opallis but new questions arose how to make these nanoparticles compatible with the adhesive formulation how to quantify their benefit these questions guided the fgm to try out various nanoparticles as well as surface treatments the solution for these problems made it possible to produce a stable and high cross-linked polymer with ambar although all positive results obtained in our internal laboratory have been confirmed by tests at the state university of ponta grossa and the university of minnesota fgm has also attempted to clinically validate ambar the product was sent to several dental clinicians in brazil and latin america and they have reported clinical success and lack of postoperative sensitivity parallel to that ambar was evaluated clinically under a detailed longitudinal clinical study as can be seen on the following pages the results speak for themselves the clinical evidence proves and several dentists who have used ambar certify the fgm and confirm that the work of the adhesive development for the demanding dental market was well done fgm believes that its reward will be the satisfaction of several customers and partners when achieving a high-quality restoration using an adhesive system developed with genuinely brazilian technology laboratory results speak for themselves clinical evidence proves and several dentists who have used ambar confirm and certify the fgm work several laboratory methods were used during the development of ambar throughout this process we have employed microshear and microtensile tests degree of conversion and thermogravimetric analysis degree of conversion by infra-red spectroscopy ftir methods to determine the quality of the polymer such as microhardness and ultimate tensile strength marginal microleakage nanoleakage and several other chemical methods special attention was given to the evaluation of the stability of the polymer produced with ambar we have used aging methods to accelerate the degradation of the polymer film such as thermocycling and chemical degradation methods fgmnews magazine edition 3 january 2011 15[close]
