GC Posterior Extra GIC is a restorative cement for high quality Dental restoration.
Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) is a dental material commonly used for fillings, luting (cementing) crowns and bridges, and as a liner or base in restorative dentistry. It’s composed of a glass filler and an organic acid, which react to form a hard substance that bonds to tooth structure and releases fluoride over time.
Key Properties and Uses:
1. Fluoride Release: GIC releases fluoride, which can help in preventing further decay by making the tooth structure more resistant to acid attack.
2. Bonding Ability: It chemically bonds to the tooth enamel and dentin, creating a tight seal. This adhesion helps in reducing gaps where bacteria could enter.
3. Biocompatibility: It is less likely to irritate surrounding tissues, making it suitable for people with sensitivity.
4. Aesthetic: While it’s not as aesthetic as composite resins, it blends relatively well for use in less visible areas.
Common Applications:
- Restorations in non-load-bearing areas like cavities in children and geriatric patients.
- Base or liner material in deeper cavities.
- Temporary restorations and fillings in situations where aesthetic needs are lower.
Glass Ionomer Cement is especially valued for its ability to maintain close adaptation to the tooth and aid in minimizing recurrent decay.
