Study Confirms GC Fuji Triage Provides Effective Protection Against Tooth Decay
Growing and newly erupted molars are substantially protected against caries and acid attack with GC Fuji TRIAGE. Results of a Japanese study presented at the IADR congress, June 25-28, 2003, in Goteborg, Sweden, showed that GC Fuji TRIAGE glass ionomer cement releases six times more fluoride than conventional products.
Optimal caries protection should begin with children's teeth. For teeth susceptible to decay, fissure sealing has proven to be the most effective caries reduction method. The fact that composite resin sealants are sensitive to moisture during bonding makes them unsuitable for use with newly erupted molars. Fuji TRIAGE is the first resin-free glass ionomer made for this indication. It is easy to use particularly for newly erupted molars, is highly effective and prophylactic.
SIX TIMES THE FLUORIDE RELEASE
The results of a Japanese in-vitro study show that GC Fuji TRIAGE releases six times more fluoride than any other glass ionomer cement and resin sealant. Tsuyoshi Noguchi (Tokyo) and colleagues compared the acid resistance levels of dentin surfaces immersed in various fluoride-releasing materials. The result: dentin and enamel immersed in GC America's innovative capsule preparation showed a higher level of acid resistance than any other material.
TWO IN ONE: SOURCE AND RESERVOIR OF FLUORIDE
GC Fuji TRIAGE not only releases the largest amount of fluoride ions into the tooth, it also shows the highest recharge capability. Thus, the Japanese researchers concluded that the new glass ionomer surface protector manufactured by GC provides dentin and enamel with the most effective protection against carries and attacks � acting as both a long-lasting source and reservoir for fluoride. GC Fuji TRIAGE's outstanding bonding properties have also been scientifically proven. The product offers all the advantages of conventional self-curing glass ionomer cements by achieving hydrophilic and chemical adhesion through direct ion exchange with tooth structure. Thus, GC Fuji TRIAGE is also safe to use in the presence of difficult to control saliva flows � without the need for acid etching or a bonding agent.
YOU HAVE THE CHOICE: SELF- CURE or COMMAND SET
This innovative pink radiopaque material self-cures completely in approximately four minutes. The heat from Light-curing with a halogen or plasma lamp for just 20-40 seconds can also speed up the setting process. This is a great advantage, particularly in pediatric dentistry.
GC Fuji TRIAGE has a translucent pink color that simplifies visual control during dental visits and makes it identifiable to both patient and clinician as being intermediate or temporary in application. GC Fuji TRIAGE is available in a box of 50 capsules.
