Chemical Bond: It sticks directly to the tooth and metal without needing extra adhesives.

Fluoride Release: Helps protect the tooth from decay while it is under the crown.

Low Sensitivity: One of the most "nerve-friendly" cements available.

Snap-Set: Hardens quickly once in the mouth, reducing the time a patient has to keep their mouth open.

GC Gold Label 1 is a Glass Ionomer luting cement used for the permanent cementation of metal-based crowns and bridges. It is chemically identical to the famous GC Fuji I, but "Gold Label" is the branding often used for specific international markets. These pre-measured capsules ensure a consistent mix and high strength.

Type: Glass Ionomer (GIC).

Shade: Light Yellow.

Mixing Time: 10 seconds (in a mechanical mixer).

Working Time: 2 minutes.

Setting Time: 4 minutes 30 seconds (from start of mix).

30 Capsules: Each capsule contains roughly 0.33g of powder and 0.18g of liquid.

Foil Sealed: Every capsule is individually wrapped in gold foil to maintain the perfect moisture balance.

Activate: Push the plunger at the back of the capsule until it is flat against the body.

Mix: Place in a high-speed mixer (triturator) for 10 seconds.

Load: Insert the capsule into a GC Capsule Applier gun.

Squeeze: Pump the handle to dispense the creamy cement directly into the crown.

Clean Up: Once the material reaches a hard-rubbery state, peel away the excess from around the tooth.

Manufacturer: GC Corporation (Japan).

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place (4–25°C). Heat can ruin the chemical reaction.

Pro Tip: For the best results, do not "over-dry" the tooth. It should be clean but slightly moist (looking like a "damp sidewalk").

Warranty: Typically 2 years from the date on the box.
