GC Glass Ionomer Restoratives GC Glass Ionomer Restoratives. Glass-ionomer cements (GICs) are widely used in restorative dentistry. One of their advantages over other restorative materials is that they can be placed into tooth cavities without an additional bonding agent. They also possess a fluoride-releasing property and are relatively biocompatible with the pulp. Although GICs are commonly used dental cements, they have some disadvantages. The most intractable problem with the conventional GICs is probably their lack of strength and toughness.[1] In order to improve the mechanical properties of conventional GICs, resin-modified GICs were developed. glass-ionomer restorative system. It is a combination of a self-adhesive, chemically cured, highly filled GIC GC has been persistently improvising the techniques to make the procedures less cumbersome. On similar lines, the protocol of mixing & dispensing of GC capsules have now become easier, simpler & faster for the clinicians to achieve better results. An even better experience with GC Gold Label/ Fuji –
Gold Label I, Gold Label II / Fuji II, Gold Label II LC / Fuji II LC, Fuji VII, Gold Label IX GP Extra / Fuji IX GP Extra, EQUIA Forte and G-CEM products with new capsule activation technique. “No Click” is required now only “Push and Mix”. The use of artificial saliva allows for better simulation of the way restoratives interact with human saliva. Leaching of restorative constituents has been reported to be higher in artificial salvia when compared to distilled water.[6] Thus, the aim of the present study is to evaluate and compare the compressive strength and surface microhardness of conventional, resin- modified, and EQUIA Forte GIC materials after placing in three liquid media. Comparing the compressive strength of EQUIA Forte from day 1 to 30 when placed in artificial saliva, there was a significant increase on day 30 (P = 0.007); compared to other groups. Surface microhardness and compressive strength of EQUIA Forte were significantly high in comparison to the other groups. Conclusion: Surface microhardness and compressive strength of EQUIA Forte were significantly high in comparison to the other groups.
