Chemical adhesion to tooth structure allows minimal cavity preparation No etching, no bonding High compressive and flexural strength for posterior indications Stronger for improved longevity and wear resistance Good handling characteristics Single step placement - no need for layering technique Good radiopacity Advanced glass ionomer Self-adhesion to tooth structure Tooth-like coefficient of thermal expansion to maintain the marginal seal Thermal insulation Biocompatible Stronger, harder, wear-resistant and less soluble than the previous generations Allows for a wide range of applications Can be bulk-filled for increased simplicity of placement Ideal alternative to amalgam, composite and compomer for geriatric and pediatric applications Reduces the chance of washout Increases the durability of the restoration Sustained, rechargeable fluoride release Reduces the propensity for secondary caries Fluoride release is recharged when the patient uses a fluoridated rinse or dentifrice Radiopaque Facilitates oral diagnosis Convenient, premeasured capsules offered in 5 Vita Shades Encapsulated material can be mixed and applied in less than 30 seconds Improved shade matching 1. CAVITY PREPARATION a) Prepare tooth using standard techniques. Extensive mechanical retention is unnecessary. For pulp capping use calcium hydroxide. b) Apply CAVITY CONDITIONER (10 seconds) or DENTIN CONDITIONER (20 seconds) to the bonding surfaces using a cotton pellet or sponge (Fig. 1). c) Rinse thoroughly with water. Blot away excess water with a cotton pellet or dry by gently blowing with an air syringe. DO NOT DESICCATE. Prepared surfaces should appear moist (glistening). 2. CAPSULE ACTIVATION AND MIXING a) Before activation, shake the capsule or tap its side on a hard surface to loosen the powder (Fig. 2). b) To activate the capsule, push the plunger until it is fully depressed with the main body and hold it down for 2 seconds (Fig. 3). Note: 1) Ensure the plunger is fully pressed to avoid the incorrect mixing ratio of powder and liquid. 2) The capsule should be activated just before mixing and used immediately. c) Immediately set it into a mixer (or an amalgamator) and mix for 10 seconds (+/- 4,000 RPM) (Fig. 4). 3. RESTORATIVE TECHNIQUE a) Immediately remove the mixed capsule from the mixer and load it into the GC CAPSULE APPLIER. b) Make two clicks to prime the capsule then syringe (Fig. 5). The working time is 1 minute 15 seconds from start of mixing at 23°C (73°F). Higher temperatures will shorten working time. c) Within 10 seconds maximum after mixing, start to extrude the mixture directly into the preparation (Fig. 6). d) Form the preliminary contour, and cover with a matrix if required. e) During the first 3 minutes from start of mix extra care should be taken to avoid moisture contamination or drying-out. In case this cannot be guaranteed, immediately apply or GC Fuji Varnish (blow dry) or GC Fuji Coat LC (light cure). Note: 1) To adjust the direction of the nozzle, hold the applier with the capsule towards you and turn the capsule body. 2) To remove the used capsule, push the applier release button. Twist the capsule and pull upwards 4. FINISHING a) Final finishing under water spray using standard techniques can begin approximately 3 minutes after start of mixing (Fig. 7). b) Apply a final coat of G-COAT PLUS and light cure for 20 seconds (Fig. 8, 9). Alternatively, apply GC Fuji VARNISH (blow dry) or GC Fuji COAT LC (light cure). Refer to the respective instructions for use. c) Instruct the patient not to apply pressure for 1 hour.
