– Features:
– Easy to handle and place
– Non-sticky
– High compressive and flexural strengths
– 2 minute working time
– Self-cures in 2.5 minutes (about 4.5 minutes from start of mix)
– Single step placement for even larger fillings
– GC Fuji IX GP Extra is the easy-to-use, handle and place fluoride releasing alternative to expensive compomers and composites and in many cases, amalgam
– It is a high strength fast setting glass ionomer restorative in capsule formulated with a unique SmartGlass filler offering improved translucency for a more aaesthetic restoration
– 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 pediatric restorations, final restorations (non-stress areas), Intermediate Restorative (IRM), core material and long-term, temporary restorations
– Chemical adhesion to tooth structure allows minimal cavity preparation without the need for etching or bonding agents
– A chemical setting without shrinkage allows single-step placement without layering.
– Similar thermal expansion as tooth structure produces minimal stress on the marginal seal
– Strontium based glass provides good radiopacity and snap-set characteristics unanimously preferred by clinicians
– Strontium based fluoride-releasing formulation contributes to internal remineralization within tooth structure as well as increasing surface strength over time
– 60% higher wear resistance than conventional glass ionomers makes Gold Label 9 strong enough for use in posterior teeth
– 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
