GC Gold Label 1 Luting & Lining GIC Mini Pack

• 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 mimics calcium in the formation of strontium hydroxyapatite and strontium fluoroapatite, which affects internal remineralisation 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 ions diffusing into the glass ionomer and surface, achieving a surface strengthening effect. All GC and Gold Label Glass Ionomer strengthen 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.
