Description:

A high-strength strontium-based glass ionomer restorative providing all the properties of genuine glass ionomers with physical properties strong enough for use in posterior teeth.

A Strontium-based Glass Ionomer: 
All GC Gold Label Glass Ionomer contains strontium glass. The strontium glass provides good radiopacity and snapshot characteristics, which clinicians worldwide unanimously prefer. Interestingly, strontium will mimic calcium in the formation of strontium hydroxyapatite and strontium fluorapatite to affect internal remineralization within the tooth structure.

Surface Strengthening Effect:
Research has shown that a strontium-based glass ionomer placed in a calcium-containing environment (saliva) will result in calcium ions diffusing into the glass ionomer surface achieving a surface-strengthening effect. All GC Gold Label Glass Ionomer strengthens over time in saliva.

A Consistent Predictable Seal: 
All GC Gold Label Glass Ionomer will display a glossy surface after mixing. This indicates sufficient free polyacrylic acid is available to begin the ion exchange process. The subsequent movement of ions between dentin, enamel, and GC Glass Ionomer creates an ion exchange zone that chemically fuses them together. The resulting seal is consistent, predictable, and long-lasting.

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

Specification:

• Chemical adhesion to tooth structure allows minimal cavity preparation without the need for etching or bonding agents
• A chemical setting without shrinkage allows single-step placement without layering
• Similar thermal expansion as tooth structure produces minimal stress on the marginal seal
• Strontium-based glass provides good radiopacity and snap-set characteristics unanimously preferred by clinicians
• Strontium-based fluoride-releasing formulation contributes to internal remineralization within tooth structure as well as increasing surface strength over time
• High compressive and flexural strength and 60% higher wear resistance than conventional glass ionomers make Gold Label 9 strong enough for use in posterior teeth
