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.

Use of a New Universal Flowable Composite
What are the most important properties of a flowable composite used for the flowable injection technique? Personal experience shows that balanced optical properties are essential, with an appropriate translucency, blend-in ability and surface gloss leading the way. However, the mechanical properties are also important, not least because the restorative material will be in direct contact with the antagonist teeth. And finally, handling properties are essential: The right level of flowability is needed for proper injection, while a void-free application is required for an intact, stainresistant surface.

Irradiance vs. Power: Curing Light Performance

Irradiance vs. Power: Curing Light Performance

As curing light technology improves, dentists are consistently sold on irradiance (mw per cm2) as being the defining factor in beam effectiveness. While there is no doubt irradiance adds value, it does not tell the full story of how well a light will cure various materials. Irradiance tests typically only show the irradiance of a very small portion of the light. Measuring the power distributed over the entire beam tells a more comprehensive story of its curing capabilities.
