GC Fuji IX GP EXTRA is the latest addition to the well-established family of glass ionomers that offer unsurpassed wear resistance, compressive strength, and durability. While maintaining the ample working time of GC Fuji IX GP FAST (1 1/4 minutes), GC Fuji IX GP EXTRA allows final finishing in only 2 1/2 minutes from initial mix. The faster final set saves valuable chair time which provides improved stability against water, an important feature in challenging oral environments. This product contains a next generation glass filler, SmartGlass™. The filler elicits higher translucency, fluoride release, reactivity and a faster setting time.
Indications:
- Class I and small Class II restorations in non-load bearing areas
- Class I and Class II restorations in primary teeth
- Transitional restorations
- Class V and root surface restorations
- Sandwich laminate technique
- Base / core build-ups
Advantages:
• Extra fluoride release
• Extra fast setting yet with ample working time
• Extra translucency for improved aesthetics
• Strontium-based glass ionomer restorative
• For good radiopacity and snapset characteristics
• Strontium will mimic calcium in the formation of strontium hydroxyapatite and strontium fluoroapatite to affect internal remineralization within the tooth structure
• Research has shown that a strontium-based glass ionomer placed in calcium-containing environment (saliva) will result in calcium ion diffusing into the glass ionomer surface achieving a surface strengthening effect
