GC Gold Label Hybrid Restorative GIC - A2

Description:

GC Gold Label Hybrid integrates advanced Glass Hybrid technology by combining two types of Fluoro-Alumino-Silicate (FAS) glass with two types of polyacrylic acid. This formulation results in a material that offers superior mechanical strength, thanks to an optimized particle size distribution. The finer FAS glass particles enhance translucency by reducing light reflection, allowing more light to pass through the restorative material, resulting in a more natural appearance. Additionally, Gold Label Hybrid’s glass reacts with polyacrylic acid to release a high level of fluoride, promoting tooth remineralization and decay prevention. The inclusion of acid-resistant FAS glass and a high molecular weight polyacrylic acid further strengthens the material’s restorative matrix, improving its resistance to acid and enhancing its durability over time.

Indications:

• Class I and Class II restorations in primary (deciduous) teeth
• Non-load bearing Class I and Class II restorations
• Intermediate restorations and base material for high-stress Class I and II cavities using the sandwich laminate technique
• Class V and root surface restorations
• Core build-up

Features:

• Superior Mechanical Strength and Durability: Designed to withstand the demands of restorative procedures, ensuring long-lasting results.Enhanced Aesthetics: Offers excellent aesthetic properties, providing a natural appearance that closely matches the surrounding tooth tissue.
• Increased Translucency: The material's translucency allows for a better match with natural tooth color, creating restorations that blend seamlessly.
• Outstanding Acid Resistance: Formulated with high acid resistance, ensuring the material remains stable and durable even in the acidic oral environment.
• Moisture Tolerant: Offers excellent performance in moist environments, making it ideal for various clinical settings.Effective Fluoride Release: Releases fluoride over time, contributing to tooth remineralization and helping to prevent future decay

Directions for use:

1. Powder and Liquid Dispensing

• Ratio: The standard powder-to-liquid ratio is 3.0 g of powder to 1.0 g of liquid (1 level scoop of powder to 1 drop of liquid).
• Dispensing Powder: Lightly tap the bottle against the hand for accurate dispensing. Do not shake or invert the bottle.
• Dispensing Liquid: Hold the liquid bottle vertically and squeeze gently.
• After Use: Immediately close the bottles tightly after dispensing.

2. Cavity Preparation

• Tooth Preparation: Prepare the tooth using standard techniques. Extensive mechanical retention is unnecessary. For pulp capping, use calcium hydroxide.
• Conditioning: Optionally, apply CAVITY CONDITIONER or DENTIN CONDITIONER to the bonding surfaces.
• Rinse and Dry: Thoroughly rinse with water and blot away excess moisture with a cotton pellet or dry using an air syringe. Do not desiccate the tooth. The prepared surface should appear moist and glistening.

3. Mixing

• Dispense: Place the required powder and liquid onto the mixing pad.
• Divide Powder: Using a plastic spatula, divide the powder into two equal portions.
• Mix First Portion: Mix the first portion of powder with all the liquid for 10 seconds.
• Complete Mixing: Add the remaining powder portion and mix thoroughly for 15-20 seconds.

4. Restorative Technique

• Working Time: The working time is 1 minute 45 seconds from the start of mixing at 23°C (73°F). Note that higher temperatures will reduce working time.
• Transfer Cement: Use a suitable instrument to transfer the cement into the prepared cavity, avoiding air bubbles.
• Contour: Form the preliminary contour and apply a matrix if necessary.
• Final Steps: Once set, immediately apply GC Fuji VARNISH (blow dry) or G-COAT PLŪS (light cure).

5. Finishing

• Start Finishing: Begin final finishing under water spray using standard techniques at 6 minutes after mixing.
• Apply Coating: Apply a final coat of GC Fuji VARNISH or G-COAT PLŪS.
• Post-Application Care: Instruct the patient not to apply pressure to the restoration for 1 hour.
