GC Fuji PLUSis a resin-reinforced, glass ionomer luting cement designed for final cementation of metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, metal-free crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays. It bonds chemically and mechanically to tooth structure and all types of core material.
Its simple placement technique produces significantly higher bond strengths than conventional glass ionomer cements while maintaining the favorable characteristics of glass ionomers-fluoride release, low coefficient of thermal expansion, and biocompatibility to tooth structure and soft tissues.
For indirect metal-free restoration that recommend a resin-reinforced / resin-modified glass ionomer for final cementation cementable reinforced all ceramic crowns like PROCERA or cementable composite resin restoration like GRADIA.
The use of optional GC Fuji PLUS Conditioner prepares the bonding surface, which dramatically increases the bond strength and reduces the chance of pulpal sensitivity. A 20 second application of GC Fuji PLUS Conditioner removes smear layer with a mild citric acid etchant and seals dentinal tubules with its ferric chloride component.
- When increased retention is required, the GC Fuji PLUS Conditioner option:
- Increases the cement’s bond strength to tooth structure
- Improves the retention of short or tapered crowns
- The premeasured capsules are easier and faster to use than ever
- Outstanding bond strength to tooth structure
- Long lasting restorations
- Sustained, rechargeable fluoride release
- Reduces risk of decay at tooth/casting interface
- Fluoride release is recharged when the patient uses a fluoridated rinse or dentifrice
- Available in a unique, encapsulated automix delivery system
- New capsule design
- Push-button activation; 10-second trituration
- No hand mixing or clean-up is required
- No activating appliance needed; consistent mixes every time
- Extended working time
- 3’30” working time vs. 2’30” for GC Fuji PLUS
- Facilitates cementation of long-span bridges, multiple abutment bridges and multiple unit restorations
- All the added benefits of a true glass ionomer
- Ionic bonding to tooth structure and metals to optimize the marginal seal
- Tooth-like coefficient of thermal expansion to maintain marginal integrity
- Clinically insoluble when set
- Minimizes the chance of an early washout
- Reduces the risk of microleakage
- Maintains marginal seal
- Extremely low film thickness
- Castings sit more easily
- Reduces chance of high occlusion
- Smooth, creamy consistency
- Easy to mix and place
- Excellent biocompatibility
- Non-irritating to the tooth structure or soft tissues
- Radiopaque
- Facilitates oral diagnosis
