Restorative dentistry is often complex, especially as dentists are faced with a range of challenges—from reinforcing weakened teeth to achieving seamless aesthetics. It is so much more than fillings.
Do you need exceptional results without complicating your workflows? Do you need reliable products to address these issues head-on? You need solutions from GC.
Let’s explore the common challenges dentists face and how these GC solutions can transform your practice.
1. Struggling with reinforcement in compromised teeth?
One of the most common challenges in restorative dentistry is reinforcing weakened teeth, particularly after amalgam removal or in cases of large posterior cavities. Standard composite materials often lack the structural integrity to prevent fractures, leading to recurring failures and the need for retreatment.
Solution: everX Flow
everX Flow is designed specifically to reinforce compromised teeth with its short-fibre reinforced composite technology. These fibres not only boost fracture toughness but also help redirect cracks, reducing the risk of catastrophic failure.
Ideal for large cavities, endodontically treated teeth, and cases where cusps are missing, everX Flow provides a solid foundation for your restorations. Its thixotropic viscosity makes it easy to apply and ensures it stays in place, even in upper molars. Plus, with the option of a Bulk shade for deep cavities or a dentine shade for aesthetics, it offers true versatility.
2. Issues with bond strength in diverse conditions?
Bonding challenges, especially in hard-to-reach areas or under difficult clinical conditions, can jeopardise the longevity of a restoration. Poor bonding leads to debonding, leakage, or failure over time, adding to chairside time and increasing patient dissatisfaction.
Solution: G-CEM ONE
G-CEM ONE offers a universal bonding solution that simplifies cementation across all direct and indirect restorations. This self-adhesive resin cement delivers exceptional bond strength without requiring light curing, making it perfect for cases where light access is restricted. Its Adhesive Enhancing Primer (AEP) further boosts bond strength when necessary, ensuring a secure hold even in the most challenging conditions.
Whether you’re working with indirect restorations like crowns or direct composite fillings, G-CEM ONE provides long-term, colour-stable results with less hassle and fewer steps.
3. Achieving aesthetic perfection in complex restorations?
Restorations, particularly in the anterior region, require both strength and aesthetics. Achieving a natural look that blends seamlessly with the patient’s teeth is crucial, but many restorative materials either lack strength or fall short on lifelike aesthetics.
Solution: GC Initial LiSi Press
GC Initial LiSi Press combines the strength of lithium disilicate with High Density Micronization (HDM) technology, offering both durability and unmatched aesthetics. Whether you’re working on crowns, veneers, or bridges, this material provides natural translucency and rich colour, ensuring that restorations look indistinguishable from the surrounding teeth. The result is not only aesthetically pleasing but also exceptionally strong, making GC Initial LiSi Press ideal for both anterior and posterior restorations.
4. Time-consuming aesthetic finishing?
Even after achieving the desired restoration, the finishing process can be time-consuming, especially when trying to achieve lifelike texture and gloss. Dentists often struggle with finding the right materials to create detailed, natural-looking finishes without adding excessive chair time.
Solution: GC Initial IQ ONE SQIN
GC Initial IQ ONE SQIN is a paintable ceramic system that simplifies the aesthetic finishing of monolithic or minimally reduced frameworks. With its refined mixture of feldspar-based glasses, this product allows you to achieve a 3D aesthetic effect and lifelike translucency without the complexity of conventional layering.
Used in conjunction with GC Initial Lustre Pastes ONE, it creates a natural surface texture with self-glazing properties after firing, saving time while delivering stunning results. Whether you're fine-tuning a monolithic restoration or micro-layering, GC Initial IQ ONE SQIN ensures natural aesthetics in less time.
