Radiopaque posterior glass ionomer restorative
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.
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
