GC Gold Label 9 is a high-strength radiopaque glass ionomer restorative designed for posterior teeth, offering chemical adhesion without the need for etching or bonding agents. It features superior wear resistance, low solubility, and moisture sensitivity while facilitating internal remineralization through strontium-based fluoride. Its application involves a specific procedure including conditioning, contouring, and protective coating to ensure optimal restoration outcomes.

2. GC Gold Label 9 is the high strength radiopaque posterior glass
ionomer restorative. It has the properties of glass ionomers with
physical properties to use for posterior teeth.
It has snap-set characteristics where strontium mimics like calcium in
the formation of strontium hydroxyapatite and strontium fluoroapatite
to affect internal remineralization within the tooth structure.
It has a surface strengthening effect, i.e, the calcium ion diffuses into
glass ionomer surface achieving a surface strengthening effect.
GC Gold Label 9 displays a glossy texture after mixing. The movement
of ions between dentin, enamel and GC Glass Ionomer creates an ion
exchange zone that fuses them together giving a consistent, long-lasting
and predictable seal.

3. Advantages of GC Gold Label 9 -
 Chemical adhesion to the tooth structure which gives minimal cavity
preparation without the need for etching or bonding agents.
 It does not shrink, hence allows single-step placement without
layering.
 Low marginal sealing stress because of the same thermal expansion.
 Good radiopacity and snap-set characteristics because of the
Strontium based fluoride.
 Strontium based fluoride release also helps in internal
remineralization within the tooth structure and in increasing surface
strength.
 60% higher wear resistance as compared to other conventional glass
ionomers.

4.  Highly compressive.
 High flexural strength.
 High fluoride release
 Reduced moisture sensitivity
 Excellent handling characteristics
 Low solubility
 Strong enough for posterior usage
 Easy post-operative diagnosis
 Full restoration assurance

5. Working Procedure
Step 1
 GC Dentin Conditioner can be used for the conditioning tooth surface.
Postconditioning of the tooth apply the Gold Label 9 or Fuji IX GP in Capsule mixed
accordingly into the cavity.
Step 2
 Form the contour and place a matrix if required during the working time.
Step 3
 When the material starts to lose the glossy appearance, coat the tooth with GC
Cocoa Butter or GC Fuji Varnish or GC Fuji Coat LC to protect it from moisture.
Step 4
 Finishing water spray can be carried out from the recommended times from the
start of the mix.
Step 5
 Apply a final coat of GC Fuji Varnish or GC Fuji Coat LC as a protective coating.

6. Indications of GC Gold Label 9
 Class I and small Class II restorations in non-load
bearing areas
 Class I and Class II restorations in deciduous teeth
 Transitional restorations
 Base / Core build-ups

7. Time Settings
 Mixing Time - 30 secs
 Working Time - 20 mins
 Finishing Time Begins (from the start of mix) - 6min
* Mixing conditions at 23°C. Higher temperatures will
shorten working time.
