GC Posterior Extra GIC

GC Posterior Extra GIC
Price:  Rs. 7200/- 

 

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.

Miracle Mix is a unique dental restorative material that combines the benefits of a glass ionomer and silver alloy particles. Manufactured by GC Corporation, it is widely used in dentistry for specific restorative applications due to its strength and fluoride-releasing properties.

Composition:

1. Silver Alloy Powder: Enhances strength and wear resistance.


2. Glass Ionomer: Bonds chemically to the tooth and releases fluoride.



Key Features:

1. High Strength: Suitable for areas needing durability, like core build-ups.


2. Fluoride Release: Helps prevent secondary caries.


3. Chemical Bonding: Adheres directly to enamel and dentin without requiring an adhesive.


4. Biocompatibility: Gentle on tissues and pulp.



Applications:

1. Core Build-Ups: Strengthens the tooth for crown placement.


2. Small Restorations: For posterior teeth under low stress.


3. Base or Liner: Acts as a supportive layer under restorations.



Advantages:

  • Easy to manipulate and apply.

  • Strong resistance to fracture and wear.

  • Works well in cases with limited isolation (e.g., subgingival restorations).


Limitations:

Not ideal for high-stress areas or large restorations.

Esthetics may not match tooth color closely due to the metallic appearance.
