GC Fuji VIII GP – self-curing, resin-reinforced GIC for anterior
restorations
Glass ionomer cements to the forefront:
economical, aesthetic and translucent
They are quick and easy to use but also have a reliable and
effective adhesive bond: resin-modified glass ionomer
filling cements have been clinically proven for posterior
teeth for many years. After GC Fuji IX GP, the market-leader
in GICs is now setting another milestone: the unique GC
Fuji VIII GP from GC EUROPE not only combines the
advantages of acrylic resin and glass ionomer cements,
but it is the first to make aesthetic anterior restorations
possible in a very short time – thanks to a natural
translucency entirely without light-curing.
The much improved physical and aesthetic properties make the
new, chemically cured glass ionomer filling cement from the
Dental Care Company the method of choice for use in class III
and class V restorations and for treating root surfaces of
anterior teeth. Thanks to its innovative chemical composition
involving specific acrylic particles, it matches the surrounding
tooth structure almost imperceptibly owing to its natural
translucency and it harmonizes perfectly with the Vita tooth
shades.
Excellent bonding strength and efficient handling
GC Fuji VIII GP impresses with its visual characteristics but
also with its excellent adhesive properties. As a result of direct
ion exchange between the glass ionomer cement and the tooth
structure, it develops strong hydrophilic, chemical bonding not
only to the enamel but also the dentine – reliable and durable,
without etching or the use of bonding agents. The material
attains 90 per cent of its excellent mechanical properties within
a maximum of ten minutes. Its good sealing power also
minimizes the risk of marginal leakage and discolouration
developing in the long term.
At the same time GC Fuji VIII GP has all the advantages of a
conventional glass ionomer cement: continuously high release
of
fluoride,
radiopacity
and
excellent
bioavailability.
Its
amazingly low sensitivity to technique and moisture also leads
to improved safety of application and hence a more reliable
outcome – even without a rubber dam!
Processing and setting times? Good and short!
Another benefit for daily practice: shorter processing and setting
times make handling far easier and quicker. Thus finishing can
be done after only two minutes ten seconds, while the working
time is one-and-a-half minutes.
With
just
two
innovative
restorative
materials
–
the
internationally well-established, packable GC Fuji IX GP (Fast)
and the new GC Fuji VIII GP – dentists can now cope with all
anterior and posterior indications simply and efficiently –
whether for metal or acrylic resin prosthetic work.
In capsule or powder/liquid versions, GC Fuji VIII GP is an
extremely economical product. It is now available in the shades
A2, A3, A3.5, B2, B3 and C4 in pack sizes containing 50
capsules or in a kit containing one bottle (6.8 millilitre contents)
and 15 grams of powder and also as refill packs.
