GC GRADIA CORE, Intro Package

GRADIA CORE is a dual-cure, radiopaque composite designed for both core build-up and post cementation in dental restorations. It is renowned for its strength and versatility, ensuring a robust foundation for long-lasting restorations.

Composition and Features

• Dual-Cure Mechanism: GRADIA CORE functions effectively under both light-curing and self-curing modes. The inclusion of a dual cure activator (DCA) ensures thorough curing, even in self-cure mode.
• Thixotropic Property: This unique feature allows GRADIA CORE to exhibit fluidity under pressure, such as in post cementation within the root canal, while maintaining shape stability during the core build-up process.
• Radiopacity: The material is sufficiently radiopaque, allowing for easy clinical evaluation.
• Elastic Modulus: Its modulus is close to that of dentine, minimizing stress build-up and ensuring compatibility with natural tooth structure.

Indications

• Core Build-up
• Post Cementation

Advantages

1. Versatility: Suitable for both post cementation and core build-up, making it a multifunctional material in restorative procedures.
2. Ease of Use: Cuts similarly to dentine, allowing for simple shaping and ensuring smooth transitions and precise margins.
3. Strong Bonding: When used with G-Premio BOND and DCA, it ensures superior bond strength in any curing mode.
4. Depth of Cure: Effective curing at all depths, suitable for bulk-fill methods and deep root canal applications.
5. Consistent Performance: Offers a solid base for long-lasting indirect restorations with excellent mechanical properties.
