Description

The GC Gold Label Hybrid is a hand-mixed, self-adhesive restorative designed for posterior applications, offering enhanced ease of use and longevity in restorations. It utilizes GC’s proprietary Advanced Glass Hybrid Technology, an innovative combination of two distinct types of fluoro-alumino-silicate (FAS) glass, which work synergistically to enhance both durability and aesthetics. The dual types of polyacrylic acid in its formulation contribute to optimal chemical adhesion to tooth surfaces, which helps form a strong and reliable bond that reduces microleakage and minimizes postoperative sensitivity.

This smart particle size distribution plays a critical role in the product’s unique handling properties and superior self-adhesive capabilities. The strategic distribution of particles allows for easier application and a smoother, consistent texture, ensuring that restorations have an accurate and snug fit. The hybrid material offers a high level of wear resistance, making it suitable for high-stress areas in posterior teeth.

The finer particle size of the fluoro-alumino-silicate (FAS) glass in Gold Label HYBRID reduces light scattering, allowing more visible light to pass through the material. This increased light transmission enhances the translucency of the restorative, creating a more natural appearance in dental applications. Additionally, the FAS glass in Gold Label HYBRID interacts with polyacrylic acid, forming a restorative matrix that releases a substantial amount of fluoride, which contributes to the product’s preventive benefits. The material is also composed of more acid-resistant FAS glass combined with high molecular weight polyacrylic acid, both of which work together to fortify the restorative matrix, improving its strength and resistance to acidic environments.
