GC GIC 1 Luting & Lining Cement

All GC Gold Label Glass Ionomer includes strontium glass. The radiopacity and snapset of the strontium glass are both good. Clinicians all over the world agree that this is the best option. In an interesting way, strontium will act like calcium when it forms strontium hydroxyapatite and strontium fluoroapatite in the tooth structure. This process is called internal remineralization.

Research has shown that when a strontium-based glass ionomer is put in an environment with calcium (like spit), calcium ions will diffuse into the surface of the glass ionomer, making the surface stronger. Over time, all GC gold label 1 Glass Ionomer get stronger in saliva.

After being mixed, the surface of all GC Gold Label Glass Ionomer will be shiny. This means that there is enough free polyacrylic acid to start the ion exchange process. Ions then move between the dentin, enamel, and GC Glass Ionomer, which makes an ion exchange zone that binds the three substances together chemically. The seal that is made is uniform, reliable, and lasts a long time.
