GC Gold Label 1 Luting & 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& remineralization 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 :

• 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

2. Cementation of high strength (zirconia based) all ceramic crowns and bridges

CONTRAINDICATIONS

1. Pulp capping.
2. Avoid use of this product in patients with known allergies to glass ionomer cement.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

1. TOOTH PREPARATION
   1. Prepare tooth in usual manner. For pulp capping, use calcium hydroxide.
   2. Clean the prepared tooth with pumice and water.
   3. Rinse thoroughly with water. Remove excess moisture by blotting with a cotton pellet or gently blowing with oil-free air. DO NOT DESICCATE. Prepared surfaces should appear moist (glistening).
2. RESTORATION PREPARATION

Pre-treat the restoration and handle according to manufacturer's instructions.

1. DISPENSING OF POWDER AND LIQUID
   1. The standard powder to liquid ratio is 1.8g/1.0g (1 level scoop of powder to 2 drops of liquid).
   2. For accurate dispensing of powder, lightly tap the bottle against the hand. Do not shake or invert.
   3. Hold the liquid bottle vertically and squeeze gently.
   4. Close bottles immediately after use.
2. MIXING

Dispense powder and liquid onto the mixing pad. Using the plastic spatula, add all the powder to the liquid. Mix rapidly for 20 seconds.

Note:

When mixing larger amounts, divide the powder into two equal parts. Mix the first portion with all of liquid for 5 seconds.

Incorporate the remaining portion and mix thoroughly for 15 seconds (total 20 seconds).

1. CEMENTATION
   1. Coat the internal surface of the restoration with sufficient cement. Seat immediately. At 23°C (73°F) working time is 2 minutes from start of mixing.

Higher temperatures shorten working time.

1. 1. Maintain moderate pressure on the seated restoration.
   2. Start removing excess cement when the excess cement feels rubbery.
   3. Finishing can be started 4 minutes 30 seconds after seating the restoration.
