GC Gold Label 9 (Extra) Posterior Restorative Glass Ionomer Cement – Big Pack (15g Powder + 8g Liquid)

Description

GC Gold Label 9 is the easy-to-use, handle and place fluoride-releasing alternative to expensive compomers and composites and in many cases, amalgam. It cures extremely hard and is very wear resistant. As a true glass ionomer, it chemically bonds to tooth structure, has a tooth-like coefficient of thermal expansion and releases significant levels of rechargeable fluoride. It’s the perfect product for geriatric and paediatric restorations, final restorations (non-stress bearing areas), Intermediate Restorative (IRM), core material and long-term, temporary restorations.

INDICATIONS:

• Class I and small Class II restorations in non-load bearing areas
• Class I and Class II restorations in deciduous teeth
• Transitional restorations
• Base / core build-ups

ADVANTAGES:

• Extra fluoride release.
• Extra fast setting yet with ample working time.
• Extra translucency for improved aesthetics.
• Strontium-based glass ionomer restorative.
• For good radiopacity and snapset characteristics.
• Strontium will mimic calcium in the formation of strontium hydroxyapatite and strontium fluoroapatite to affect internal remineralization within the tooth structure.
• 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.

Directions for Use

1. POWDER AND LIQUID DISPENSING

• The standard powder-to-liquid ratio is 3.4g/ 1.0g. (1 level scoop of powder to 1 drop of liquid).
• For accurate dispensing of powder, lightly tap the bottle against the hand. Do not shake or invert.
• To dispense the correct amount of liquid from the bottle turn the bottle upside down, keep the nozzle away from the mixing pad and gently press the bottle. Discard the first 1-2 drops after opening a new bottle as the dispensed amount may not be accurate.
• Close bottles tightly immediately after use.

2. MIXING

• Dispense powder and liquid onto the pad. Using the plastic spatula, divide the powder into 2 equal parts. Mix the first portion with all the liquid for 10 seconds. Incorporate the remaining portion and mix the whole thoroughly for 15-20 seconds (Fig. 1).

3. RESTORATIVE TECHNIQUE

• Prepare the tooth using standard techniques. Extensive mechanical retention is not necessary. For pulp capping, use calcium hydroxide.
• Apply GC CAVITY CONDITIONER (10 seconds) or GC DENTIN CONDITIONER (20 seconds) to the bonding surfaces using a cotton pellet or sponge (Fig. 2).
• Refer to the respective instructions for use.
• Rinse thoroughly with water. Dry by blotting with a cotton pellet or gently blowing with an air syringe. DO NOT DESICCATE. The best results are obtained when prepared surfaces appear moist (glistening) (Fig. 3).
• Mix the required amount of GC Gold Label IX GP-EXTRA. Working time is 2 minutes from the start of mixing at 23°C (73.4°F). Higher temperatures will shorten working time.
• Transfer cement to the preparation using a syringe or other suitable instrument. Avoid air bubbles.
• From the preliminary contour and cover with a matrix if required (Fig. 4). g) When set, immediately apply GC Fuji VARNISH (blow dry) or GC Fuji COAT LC (light cure for 10 sec.).

4. FINISHING

• Final finishing under water spray using standard techniques can begin at 6 minutes after starting the mix.
• Apply a final coat of G-COAT PLUS and light cure for 20 sec. (Fig.5, 6). Alternatively, apply GC Fuji VARNISH (blow dry) or GC Fuji COAT LC (light cure for 10 sec.) 
• Instruct the patient not to apply pressure for 1 hour.
