STORAGE
Recommended for optimal performance, store in a cool and dark place (4-25°C) (39.2-77.0°F).
Shelf life : 3 years from date of manufacture
Directions For Use
1. TOOTH PREPARATION
a) Prepare tooth in usual manner. For pulp capping, use calcium hydroxide
b) Clean the prepared teeth with pumice and water
c) Rinse thoroughly with water. Remove excess moisture by blotting with a cotton pellet or gently blowing with an oil-free air
DO NOT DESICCATE. Prepared surfaces should appear moist (glistening)
2. RESTORATION PREPARATION
Make sure that the restoration is pretreated and handled according to the manufacturer’s instructions
3. CAPSULE ACTIVATION AND MIXING
a) Before activation, shake the capsule or tap its side on a hard surface to loosen the powder
b) To activate the capsule push the plunger until it is flush with the main body
c) Immediately place the capsule into a GC CAPSULE APPLIER and click the lever once
The capsule is now activated
Note : The capsule should be activated just before mixing and used immediately
d) Immediately remove the capsule and set it into a mixer (or an amalgamator) and mix for 10 seconds (+/-4,000 RPM)
Note: When using a rotational mixing device, it is recommended not to use the centrifuge option
4. DISPENSING
a) Immediately remove the mixed capsule from the mixer and load it into the GC CAPSULE APPLIER
b) Make two clicks to prime the capsule
To adjust the direction of the nozzle, hold the applier with the capsule towards you and turn the capsule body
c) Extrude directly into the restoration
d) To remove the used capsule, push the applier release button. Twist the capsule and pull upwards
5. CEMENTATION
a) Coat the internal surface of the restoration with sufficient cement and seat immediately. The working time is 2 minutes 15 seconds from start of mixing at 23°C (73.4°F). Higher temperatures will shorten working time
b) Maintain moderate pressure
c) Start removing excess cement when the excess cement feels rubbery. d) Finishing can be started 4 minutes 30 seconds after seating the restoration.
