FAQs
Q1: Can GC Gold Label 1 be used for cementing zirconia bridges in anterior teeth?
A: No, GC Gold Label 1 is not recommended for cementing zirconia bridges. Zirconia restorations require a resin-based or specially formulated luting cement to ensure proper bond strength and long-term retention.
Q2: Can I use GC Gold Label 1 to cement zirconia crowns on metal implants?
A: While it is possible, resin-based cements are generally preferred for zirconia crowns on implants due to their superior bond strength and durability.
Q3: Is GC Gold Label 1 suitable for cementing zirconia crowns?
A: Yes, it can be used for cementing zirconia crowns, although resin cements typically offer stronger adhesion. Clinical discretion is advised based on the specific case requirements.
Q4: Can GC Gold Label 1 be used for cementing PFM (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal) restorations?
A: Yes, GC Gold Label 1 is ideal for cementing PFM crowns, providing excellent adhesion and long-term performance.
Q6: Can I use GC Fuji PLUS liquid with GC Gold Label 1 powder?
A: No, the components of GC Fuji PLUS and GC Gold Label 1 are not interchangeable. Each is formulated specifically for its own system and should only be used with its corresponding components.
Q8: What is the quantity of powder and liquid in the mini pack?
A: The GC Gold Label 1 mini pack includes 15g of powder and 10g of liquid, offering a convenient solution for various restorative procedures.
Q9: What clinical applications is GC Gold Label 1 designed for?
A: This cement is used for luting crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, posts, and orthodontic bands. It is also suitable as a liner under restorative materials, providing reliable adhesion and sealing.
Q10: What are the key features of GC Gold Label 1?
A: Key features include:Intrinsic chemical bond to tooth and metal, Fluoride release for caries protection, High mechanical strength and low solubility, Excellent flow and film thickness (15 microns), Sharp set characteristics and long clinical track record
Q11: How is GC Gold Label 1 applied?
A: Mix the powder and liquid as per instructions. Apply the cement to both the prepared tooth and restoration. Seat the restoration within 30 seconds. Remove excess cement during the gel phase and protect the margins with GC Fuji Varnish or GC Fuji Coat LC after the final set.

Mix Accurately: Combine powder and liquid in the correct ratio and mix thoroughly for 20 seconds to achieve a smooth, consistent blend.
Apply Cement: Immediately apply the mixed cement to both the prepared tooth surface and the internal surface of the restoration.
Seat the Restoration: Place the restoration within 30 seconds of completing the mix to ensure optimal adhesion and fit.
Clean Excess Cement: Wait for the gel stage, then gently remove any excess cement for a clean finish.
Note: The total setting time is approximately 4 minutes 30 seconds from the start of mixing.
Seal the Margins: Once fully set, protect the margins against moisture by applying a final coat of GC Fuji Varnish (air dry) or GC Fuji Coat LC (light cure).
Intrinsic Chemical Bond: Adheres directly to both tooth structure and metal—no bonding agent or surface prep needed.
Genuine Glass Ionomer Formulation: Trusted chemistry with decades of clinical reliability.
Sustained Fluoride Release: Helps protect against secondary caries and supports ongoing tooth remineralization.
High Mechanical Strength: Strong enough to withstand masticatory forces in long-term restorations.
Superior Wetting Ability: Flows easily across surfaces for complete, uniform coverage.
Ultra-Thin Film Thickness (15 Microns): Ensures precise fit and seating of indirect restorations.
Radiopaque: Easily visible in radiographs for accurate post-operative assessment.
Sharp Set Behavior: Provides a reliable “snap set” for quick and efficient procedures.
Low Solubility: Minimizes material breakdown in the oral environment for enhanced longevity.
Clinically Proven: Backed by over 25 years of long-term clinical data and performance.
No Adhesives or Etching Required: Simplifies workflow and reduces chair time.
Easy Post-Operative Evaluation: Radiopacity and marginal clarity allow for smooth follow-ups and patient monitoring.
