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.

INDICATIONS:

• Class I and small Class II restorations in non-load bearing areas
• Class I and Class II restorations in deciduous teeth
• Transitional restorations
• Base / core build-ups

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.
