Celebrating over 30 years of GC Fuji® II LC CAPSULE, the world’s first light-cured glass ionomer restorative


The world's first resin-reinforced glass ionomer has remained the benchmark* for light-cured glass ionomer cements, delivering more than 30 years of exceptional performance to clinicians around the world.

GC Fuji II LC Capsule is a self-adhesive restorative material that is moisture tolerant, simple to use, quick to apply and is ready for final finishing immediately following 20 seconds light curing.

Clinically proven GC Fuji II LC restorative brings you all the advantages of a conventional glass ionomer – plus important advances like dual curing, immediate finishing and outstanding aesthetics. With its simple, time-saving technique, GC Fuji II LC is the ideal solution for Class III & Class V restorations, particularly cervical erosion and root surface restorations. 1, 2

Clinical Applications of Fuji II LC

Restoring carious lesions

Patients with reduced salivary flow are at increased risk of caries. GC Fuji II LC is recommended for the aesthetic restoration of these lesions due to its excellent retention and high level of acid resistance.

Restoring erosion lesions

Patients with acidic oral environments may suffer frequently suffer from cervical sensitivity and subsequent development of erosion lesions. GC Fuji II LC is recommended for the aesthetic restoration of these lesions due to its acid resistance and strong adhesion which provides effective desensitisation. *

Acid resistant

GC Fuji II LC exhibits good acid resistance and is the ideal choice of material for patients with reduced salivary flow and exposure to frequent acid challenges.

Ideal delivery system

GC Fuji II LC has excellent capsule to capsule consistency and ideal access through its long curved fine-tip nozzle.

Clinical Case Study: Root canal re-treatment success with BioRoot Flow
CLINICAL CASE I By Dr. Lauren Kuhn Nuth. The success rate of non-surgical root canal treatment is high, however, inadequate obturation and inability to seal anatomical complexities can play a role in the long-term success of endodontic treatment. Traditional root canal sealers tend to shrink or wash-out—BioRoot™ Flow is a mineralbased, tricalcium silicate sealer with bioactive properties which slightly expands upon setting and has a high pH, therefore providing antimicrobial
properties.
