GC Gold Label 2 LC (Light-Cured) Glass Ionomer Restorative 1-1 MINI PACK

Achieve immediate finishing, outstanding optical translucency, and long-lasting mechanical strength with GC Gold Label 2 LC (Light-Cured Glass Ionomer Restorative). Engineered as a resin-reinforced light-cured glass ionomer, Gold Label 2 LC offers immediate light-cure polymerization, allowing clinicians to finish and polish restorations immediately after curing. Combining the biocompatibility and continuous fluoride release of traditional glass ionomers with the physical strength and aesthetics of composite resins, it chemically bonds directly to enamel and dentin for reliable marginal integrity.

Key Features & Highlights

• Light-Cured Immediate Finishing: Light-cures on demand (in just 20 seconds), eliminating long initial setting waiting times and allowing immediate contouring and polishing.

• Resin-Reinforced Strength: Infused with light-curable resin monomer technology to provide superior flexural strength, higher wear resistance, and reduced moisture sensitivity during setting.

• Direct Chemical Adhesion: Establishes a strong chemical bond to natural enamel and dentin without requiring separate acid etching or adhesive systems.

• Continuous Fluoride Release: High, rechargeable fluoride protection helps protect cavity margins against secondary caries.

• Superior Aesthetic Translucency: Excellent translucency and shade matching capability for natural tooth aesthetics in anterior and cervical restorations.

• Biocompatible & Low Shrinkage: Matches the thermal expansion coefficient of natural tooth structure to prevent micro-leakage and post-operative sensitivity.

Clinical Indications

• Class III and Class V restorations (cervical erosion, abfraction, and root caries).

• Class I and II restorations in deciduous teeth.

• Small, non-stress-bearing Class I restorations in permanent teeth.

• Base or liner under composite resin restorations (sandwich technique).

• Core build-ups under crowns and indirect restorations.

• Geriatric and pediatric restorative procedures.

Step-by-Step Clinical Protocol

1. Cavity Preparation: Prepare the cavity using minimal cavity design principles. Clean thoroughly and dry gently (do not desiccate). Optional: Apply GC Cavity Conditioner or Dentin Conditioner for 10–20 seconds, rinse thoroughly, and blot dry.

2. Mixing: Dispense 1 level scoop of powder and 1 drop of liquid onto a mixing pad. Mix thoroughly using a plastic spatula within 20–25 seconds.

3. Placement: Place the mixed material into the cavity preparation in increments (up to 2.0 mm) to avoid air entrapment.

4. Light Curing: Light-cure each increment for 20 seconds using a standard dental curing light.

5. Finishing & Polishing: Adjust anatomical contour and finish immediately under water spray using fine diamond burs or rubber polishers. Apply a protective coat (such as GC G-Coat Plus or Cocoa Butter) to preserve hydration.
