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 Fast offers:
• Final finishing 3 min. from start of mix
• Greater strength
