Assurance of successful restorations
GC Gold Label 2 LC is the Lightured 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 strontiumased glass ionomer placed in calciumontaining 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 205 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 (73.4). 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
