GC Gold 1- Large Pack

Product Description

A Strontium-based Glass Ionomer:

All GC Gold Label Glass Ionomer contains strontium glass. The strontium glass provides good radiopacity and snaps set 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 remineralization within the tooth structure.

Surface Strengthening Effect:

Research has shown that a strontium-based glass ionomer placed in a 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 that chemically fuses them together. The resulting seal is consistent, predictable, and long-lasting.

How to Use Gold Label 1

• Mix to the correct powder: liquid ratio (20 seconds for Gold Label 1)
• Apply the mixed cement to both restoration and prepared tooth
• Seat the restoration within 30 seconds of completing the mix
• Remove the excess cement during the gel stage
• Total setting time is 4’30” after the start of a mix
• After the final set, moisture-proof the margin by applying a final coat of GC Fuji Varnish or GC Fuji Coat LC

Indications:

• Cementation of stainless-steel crowns and orthodontic bands
• Final cementing of metal or porcelain fused to metal crowns and bridges
• Lining under restorative materials
