GC Gold Label 1 Luting & Lining GIC Luting & Lining glass ionomer Cement

Description

A Strontium-based Glass Ionomer:

All GC Gold Label Glass Ionomer contain strontium glass. The strontium glass provides good radiopacity and snapset characteristics, unanimously preferred by clinicians worldwide. Interestingly, strontium will mimic calcium in the formation of strontium hydroxyapatite and strontium fluorapatite to affect internal remineralization within the tooth structure.
Surface Strengthening Effect: Research has shown that a strontium-based glass ionomer placed in a calcium-containing environment (saliva) will result in calcium ion diffusing into the glass ionomer&surface achieving a surface strengthening effect. All GC& Gold Label Glass Ionomer strengthens over time in saliva.
A Consistent Predictable Seal: All GC Gold Label Glass Ionomer will display a glossy& surface after mixing. This indicates sufficient free polyacrylic acid is available to begin the ion exchange process. The& subsequent movement of ions between dentin, enamel and& GC Glass Ionomer creates an ion exchange zone which chemically fuses them. The resulting seal is& consistent, predictable and long-lasting.
