GC Fuji LINING™ LC Powder-Liquid

Used as a liner or a base under composite resin or amalgam restorations, GC Fuji Lining LC is a light-cured glass ionomer. It has a high-compressive strength, minimal polymerization shrinkage and extremely low solubility. Fuji Lining LC minimizes sensitivity and provides long-term fluoride release. It bonds well to tooth structure and composite, makes an ideal dentin substitute, and flexes and absorbs the stresses caused by the polymerization shrinkage, thermal expansion, and contraction of composite materials.

Powder-Liquid Formulation

• Mixes to a perfect lining consistency in 10 seconds.
• Excellent handling characteristics. Does not "slump" when used as a liner.
• Spreads easily to level floor or wall of prepared cavity

Outstanding Ionic Bond

• Very High compressive bond strength, tensile bond strength and diametral tensile strength.
• Assures strong bond to tooth structure, composite resin and metal.
• Reduces likelihood of marginal fractures and optimizes marginal seal.
• Tooth-like coefficient of thermal expansion maintains marginal integrity.
• Low modulus of elasticity enables material to flex and absorb stresses.
• Minimizes pre- and post-operative sensitivity and acts as a thermal insulator.

Sustained, Rechargeable Fluoride Release

• Prevents secondary carries. Reduces risk of decay at margins.
• Fluoride release is recharged when the patient uses a fluoridated rinse or dentifrice.

Low-Film Thickness

• Less likely to fail from occlusal or masticatory forces, especially in shallow restorations.
• Allows material to be spread easily without being runny.

Low Solubility

• Minimizes chance of washout, less chance for micro-leakage.

Radiopaque

• Radiopacity similar to dentin. Facilitates oral diagnosis.

Biocompatible

• Not irritating to tooth structure, soft tissue, or pulp
