Glass Carbomer® What is it exactly?
Apatite & liquid silica enforced nano-glass
•
Glass Carbomer® is not to be confused with Glass Ionomer
•
Glass Carbomer® is a nano base Fluoride Aluminium-Silicate Glass with mineral additions
giving it unique characteristics
•
Glass Carbomer ® has a liquid silica supplement for high flexural and compressive
strength and low solubility
•
Glass Carbomer ® contains fluor/hydroxy apatite particles to start and aid the
remineralisation proces
•
With Glass Carbomer® Tech, utilizing the natural processes of mineralization, we are able
to create an entirely biological structure that has properties (such as hardness, durability,
strength and acid resistance) equivalent to natural dentition.

Glass Carbomer® Tech
 Biocompatibel material for permanent use
 Biofusion due to enhanced remineralisation
 Active caries repair
 Processable when moist
 No etching and bonding agent needed
 Command set with Thermocure GCP CarboLED
 Patented technology worldwide
 First developed 2004, 10 years of clinical use!

Prepare cavity
Cavity in tooth
(Re)mineralization starts immediately due to ion exchange
with the natural tooth, saliva and pulp
Glass Carbomer®, dentin and enamel will form a
durable new structure which is completely
integrated with the natural tooth
Bulk fill cavity with Glass
Carbomer®
Ion exchange will grow the Fluor Apatite and Hydroxy Apatite
(FAP/HAP) crystals
At the occlusal surface this
mineralization will lead to an enamellike material (FAP)
The fully mineralized tooth has comparable
composition and properties to a natural
tooth

GCP Fill
GCP Glass Fill in vivo. Mineralisation is clearly visible.
From 2007 to 2009 the
patient received
orthodontic treatment.
A large cavity
developed.
In 2009 a class II
restoration was made
with GCP Glass Fill. In
a second stage the top
layer was replaced
with composite
(cosmetic reasons).
(delayed sandwich)
Clearly visible is the
ongoing mineralization
of the dentin. The
dentin is mineralized
into fluor-hydroxy
apatite. The nerve
reacted normal during
treatment and is still
vital.

GCP Seal
GCP GLASS SEAL
• utilizes Glass Carbomer® Tech to aid
remineralisation. Restoration of beginning
caries is not always necessary due to the
remineralisation process (active caries
repair).
• differs from Glass Fill as it contains less
nano-glass and more Fluor/Hydroxy
Apatite
• is fast (command set) and water tolerant
for easy use with young children.

GCP Gloss
• always to be used with GCP Fill and GCP Seal
• safe, biocompatible and BPA & monomer free, does
not contain resins, solvents or heavy metals.
• facilitates separation
• facilitates modeling and polishing
• protects the material from desiccation
• creates a smooth surface

GCP Crown & Bridge Cement
GCP CROWN & BRIDGE CEMENT
• utilizes Glass Carbomer® Tech to achieve a
natural, chemical fusion bond with the dentin
and enamel.
• natural biofusion bonding characteristic is
established fluorapatite based glass-ceramics
like d.SIGN
• less sensitivity for a happier patient & dentist
• have different working times to facilitate
handling

GCP CarboLED CL-01
LED heat-cure lamp for ‘Command Set’’
• The heat-cure lamp is an essential part of
the Glass Carbomer® Tech.
• Our new GCP CarboLED CL-01 is perfectly suited
for ‘command set’ heat-curing of GCP Glass Fill
and Glass Seal products
• The CarboLED CL-01 can also be used for curing
composite.
• The GCP Glass Fill and Glass Seal products
should be heat-cured using the heat of a highenergy LED lamp with a tip temperature of 60°C
or 140F

GCP CarboCAP
Applicator Gun
Our CarboCAP Applicator Gun is used for activating and
applicating GCP Dental capsules, but is also suitable for
many other brands of capsules like GC and 3M. If the dentist
owns a 3M or GC forceps he can use it to applicate the GCP
capsules.
