GC GOLD LABEL 1 LUTING AND LINING GIC

• A Strontium-based Glass Ionomer: All GC GOLD Label Glass Ionomer contains strontium glass.
• The strontium glass provides good radiopacity and snapset characteristics, unanimously preferred by clinicians around the world.
• Interestingly, strontium will mimic calcium in the formation of strontium hydroxyapatite and strontium fluoroapatite to affect internal remineralisation within the tooth structure.
• Surface Strengthening Effect: Research has shown that a strontium-based glass ionomer placed in calcium-containing environment (saliva) will result in calcium ion diffusing into the glass ionomer surface achieving a surface strengthening effect.
• All GC GOLD Label Glass Ionomer strengthens over time in saliva.
• A Consistent Predictable Seal: All GC GOLD Label Glass Ionomer will display a glossy surface after mixing.
• This indicates sufficient free polyacrylic acid is available to begin the ion exchange process.
• The subsequent movement of ions between dentin, enamel and GC Glass Ionomer creates an ion exchange zone which chemically fuses them together.
• The resulting seal is consistent, predictable and long lasting.

INDICATIONS :

• Cementation of metal or porcelain fused to metal crowns, bridges, inlays
• Cementation of stainless steel crowns or orthodontic appliances retained with stainless steel crowns
• Cementation of orthodontic bands
• Base or liner

ADVANTAGES:

• Allows minimal cavity preparation
• Less stress on margins and marginal seal
• Protects against secondary caries
• Promotes internal remineralization and surface strengthening
• Easy post-operative diagnosis
• Easier mixing and sharper setting makes it so easy to use
• Final finish may be completed under water 15 minutes from start of mix
• Matches to natural tooth structure
• Good colour match to tooth structure
• More durable, longer lasting restorations
• Assurance of successful restorations

Directions to use:

STEP1- Mix to the correct powder: liquid ratio (20 seconds for Gold Label 1)

STEP2- Apply the mixed cement to both restoration and prepared tooth

STEP3- Seat the restoration within 30 seconds of completing the mix

STEP4- Remove the excess cement during the gel stage

Total setting time is 4’30” after the start of a mix

STEP5- After the final set, moisture-proof the margin by applying a final coat of GC Fuji Varnish or GC Fuji Coat LC
