Advantages
- Strontium based glass ionomer
- 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
- Strong adhesion to dentine and enamel
- Moisture tolerant during placement
- Snap set
- Good initial flow for optimum adhesion
- Easy to manipulate and mould into place
- Significant fluoride release
- Fast placement
- Good radiopacity
- Excellent biocompatibility
GC Fuji IX GP EXTRA offers:
- Final finishing 2 1/2 min. from start of mix
- Improved translucency
- Significantly higher fluoride release
