GC Fuji ORTHO™ LC
Light-Cured, Resin Reinforced Orthodontic Cement
GC Fuji ORTHO LC is a light-cured, resin reinforced glass ionomer ideally suited for bonding orthodontic brackets, bands and appliances. Its ability to be placed in the presence of moisture with no need for ortho-phosphoric acid etching simplifies the bonding procedure. A continual fluoride release reduces the risk of decalcification, which helps maintain the soundness of enamel. Additionally, debonding can be accomplished faster with less risk of damaging the enamel than with composite resin bonding systems.
