Product Details
GC Fuji II LC is a light-cured, reinforced glass ionomer restorative that combines resin reinforcement and light curing to enhance both its physical and aesthetic properties, making it one of GC’s top-of-the-line glass ionomer restoratives. Designed primarily for Class III, V, and deciduous teeth, GC Fuji II LC is a versatile material with secondary applications such as liners, bases, and core build-ups.
Strontium-Based Glass Ionomer
All GC Gold Label Glass Ionomers, including GC Fuji II LC, contain strontium glass, which provides excellent radiopacity and snap-set characteristics. Strontium mimics calcium in forming strontium hydroxyapatite and strontium fluoroapatite, promoting internal remineralization within the tooth structure. This feature is a key reason why clinicians worldwide prefer this material.
Surface Strengthening Effect
Studies have shown that when a strontium-based glass ionomer is placed in a calcium-containing environment, such as saliva, calcium ions diffuse into the surface, resulting in a strengthening effect. All GC Gold Label Glass Ionomers continue to strengthen over time while in contact with saliva.
Consistent and Predictable Seal
GC Gold Label Glass Ionomers consistently display a glossy surface after mixing, indicating sufficient free polyacrylic acid to initiate the ion exchange process. This exchange between dentin, enamel, and the glass ionomer creates a chemically fused zone, ensuring a predictable, long-lasting seal.
Indications
GC Fuji II LC is suitable for Class III and V restorations, particularly for cervical erosions and root surface caries, as well as the restoration of primary teeth. It can also be used for core build-up, cases requiring radiopacity, geriatric applications, and as a base or liner.
Contraindications
GC Fuji II LC is not recommended for pulp capping. In rare instances, the product may cause sensitivity in some individuals. If any adverse reactions occur, discontinue use and consult a physician.
Advantages
GC Fuji II LC allows for minimal cavity preparation, reducing stress on margins and the marginal seal. It helps protect against secondary caries, offers excellent esthetics and finish, and features improved abrasion resistance. The material allows for immediate finishing after light curing, ensuring total material set. It also provides ease of color matching to natural tooth shades, resulting in more durable and longer-lasting restorations, with an assurance of successful outcomes.
Features
GC Fuji II LC features smaller particles that contribute to its excellent aesthetics and exceptional polishability. The material is designed with higher filler loading, significantly improving its abrasion resistance, ensuring durability over time. It also provides good radiopacity, which aids in facilitating post-operative diagnosis.
One of the key advantages of GC Fuji II LC is its self-adhesive properties to tooth structure, eliminating the need for etching or bonding agents. The material is hydrophilic, making it highly effective in areas where a rubber dam is difficult to use or where cavity margins are in dentin, and enamel prisms cannot be properly etched.
The surface of the material remains smooth and porosity-free after sealing with GC G-Coat Plus, offering excellent long-term performance. Its practical application and easy manipulation make it a reliable choice for various restorative procedures. Overall, GC Fuji II LC ensures excellent aesthetics and is a versatile material suitable for a range of clinical situations.

Directions To Use
1. Powder and Liquid Dispensing
To begin, select the appropriate shade based on the Vita shade guide (Vita is a registered trademark of Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad Säckingen, Germany). The recommended powder to liquid ratio is 3.2g of powder to 1.0g of liquid, which is approximately 1 level scoop of powder to 2 drops of liquid. For accurate dispensing of the powder, gently tap the bottle; avoid shaking or inverting it. Hold the liquid bottle vertically and squeeze gently to dispense the liquid. Be sure to close the bottles immediately after use to maintain their quality.
2. Mixing
Before dispensing the powder, fluff it inside the bottle. Then, place one scoop of powder and two drops of liquid on the mixing pad. Divide the powder into two equal parts. Spread the liquid out into a thin layer about the size of a half dollar (approximately 3 cm) using a plastic spatula. Next, pull half of the powder onto the liquid and mix using lapping strokes, similar to how you would mix impression material, for 10 to 15 seconds. Incorporate the remaining powder and mix thoroughly until a glossy consistency is achieved. The total mixing time should not exceed 20-25 seconds.
3. Restorative Technique
Prepare the tooth using standard techniques, as extensive mechanical retention is not necessary. If pulp capping is needed, use calcium hydroxide. Apply GC CAVITY CONDITIONER for 10 seconds or GC DENTIN CONDITIONER for 20 seconds to the bonding surfaces using a cotton pellet or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with water, then dry by blotting with a cotton pellet or gently blowing with an air syringe. Avoid desiccating the tooth—it’s best when the prepared surfaces appear moist and glistening.
Mix the required amount of cement. The working time is 3 minutes and 45 seconds from the start of mixing at 23°C (73.4°F). Be mindful that higher temperatures may shorten working time. Transfer the cement to the preparation using a syringe or a suitable placement instrument, ensuring to avoid air bubbles. Form the contour and place a transparent matrix if necessary. Light cure the material for 20 seconds using a visible light-curing device (470 nm wavelength), positioning the light source as close to the cement surface as possible. For cavities deeper than 1.8 mm, it is recommended to use a layering technique.
4. Finishing
Once the material has cured, remove the matrix and finish under a water spray using standard finishing techniques. For a smooth, final coat, apply GC Fuji VARNISH (blow dry), or GC Fuji COAT LC (light cure for 10 seconds), or G-COAT PLUS (light cure for 20 seconds).
