– Advantages:
- Allows minimal cavity preparation
– Less stress on margins and marginal seal
– Protects against secondary caries
– Excellent esthetics and finish
– Improved abrasion resistance
– Allows for immediate finishing after light curing while ensuring total material set
– Ease of colour match to tooth shade
– More durable, longer lasting restorations
– Assurance of successful restorations
– GC Gold Label 2 LC is the Light-Cured reinforced glass ionomer restorative
– Resin reinforcement and light curing enhances physical and aesthetic properties
– GC Gold Label 2 LC is a Strontium based glass ionomer restorative
– The strontium glass provides 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
– 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
– Indications:
- Class III and V restorations, particularly for cervical erosions and root surface caries
– Restoration of primary teeth
– Core build up
– Cases where radiopacity is required
– Geriatric applications
– As a base or liner
– Directions for Use:
– Powder & Liquid Dispensing:
– Select the shade
– The standard powder to liquid ratio is 3.2g / 1.0g. 1 level scoop of powder to 2 drops of liquid
– For accurate dispensing of powder, tap the bottle gently. Do not shake or invert
– Hold the liquid bottle vertically and squeeze gently
– Close bottles immediately after use
– Mixing:
– Fluff powder of bottle before dispensing
– Place one scoop of powder and two drops of liquid on pad. Divide powder in half
– Spread liquid out into a thin layer (about the size of a half dollar or 3 cm) with plastic spatula
– Pull half of the powder onto liquid and mix with lapping strokes (like impression material) for 10 to 15 seconds
– Pull in remaining powder and mix thoroughly to a glossy consistency. Do not exceed 20-25 second total mixing time
– Restorative Technique:
– Prepare 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
– Rinse thoroughly with water. Dry by blotting with a cotton pellet or gently blowing with an air syringe. Do not desiccate. Best results are obtained when prepared surfaces appear moist (glistening).
– Mix the required amount of cement. Working time is 3 minutes 45 seconds 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 suitable placement instrument. Avoid air bubbles.
– Form the contour and place a transparent matrix if required
– Light cure for 20 seconds using a visible light curing device (470 nm wavelength). Place light source as closely as possible to the cement surface. Note : For cavities deeper than 1.8 mm, use a layering technique
