Laboratory Products - Ceramic Restoration System

GC Initial™ Ceramic System

GC Initial consists of six ceramics in one integrated product line with one color system, which can create metal-ceramic restorations all the way to full-ceramic. No longer does the ceramist have to spend valuable time learning to use a myriad of different ceramics from an array of manufacturers to create the variety of restorations which may be needed to complete a case.

Each GC Initial ceramic is adapted to meet the needs of its particular fabrication process and framework such as its coefficient of thermal expansion (or CTE). Stress cracks and fracturesare therefore avoided and strong bonding, adhesion and retention are assured.

With GC Initial, you need to master only one layering technique and one shade system. The Initial ceramic system allows you to use the identical processing method for all components using a single shade system. You don't have to readjust to other unaccustomed layering techniques or layering systems. GC Initial gives you more of that essential time to be creative.

It doesn’t matter if you are working with full ceramic, metal-based, titanium or zirconium oxide or aluminum oxide frameworks. This system has its own components when low-fusing technology or the ceramic pressing techniques are used.

GC Initial is also ideally suited for use with the proven sintering technique: GC Initial MC is used for the first coating on investment dies. Your work can then be completed easily and efficiently with the "low-fusing" component, GC Initial LF.

Bleach Shades Available

To extend the unparralelled shading system of GC Initial, we’ve introduced GC Initial Bleach Shades with a unique color set that allows for matching even the lightest tooth shades. Available as separate sets, each set contains different components. By adding them together, you can create increasingly esthetic restorations.

Simplify Your Business

With the same shading system and the same build-up technique regardless of the substructure or framework, GC Initial requires a short learning curve and can be easily adapted by high volume labs or tooth design boutiques. Developed for maximum technique tolerance, GC Initial is very forgiving and has extremely low shrinkage. View Initial™ Multimedia

One System. One Build-Up. One Choice.

One System

  • Six ceramics in one system – works for all substructures.
  • For Metal-Ceramic, Low Fusing Techniques, Titanium Frameworks, Aluminum Oxide Frameworks, Zirconium Oxide Frameworks or Pressed Ceramics.

One Build-Up

  • Same technique no matter which Initial Ceramic is used.
  • Color and shade system is consistent for any substructure/restoration.
  • Easy to crossmatch restorations.
  • Superb color matching even in very thin layers
  • Layers of the restoration can be constructed in a manner very similar to the structural layers in a natural tooth helping
    simplify the bui ld- up procedure and contributing to the lifelike esthetics.

One Choice

  • Natural Beauty and Function
  • Highest quality optical properties such as diffuse reflection, fluorescence, opalescence and translucency, mimic those of the natural tooth.
  • Surface can be easily polished for a realistic mirror reflection and a natural glossy sheen. Whatever the indication or fabrication process employed, it is very simple to make a beautiful, natural-looking restoration.
  • Easy to handle and extremely stable. It is simple to contour and very technique tolerant.
  • Ceramic color and optical properties will not change even after several firings. It has very low ceramic shrinkage, saving time and providing high firing stability for shaping form and creating shadings.
  • The structure of GC Initial ceramic also has excellent physical properties so final restorations are exceedingly durable and fully functional.
