Consultants’ Comments
- “Good for placement in difficult isolations – cover with light-cured resin and that’s it!”
- “Great for emergency repair of fractured teeth.”
- “The setting time should be faster.”
- “Fixed position of the nozzle limits ease of placement.”
- “Not enough material in one capsule for filling large endo access openings.”
- “Offer it in a natural tooth color.”
Description
GC Fuji TRIAGE is a glass ionomer indicated for temporary restorations, restoration of cervical abrasions, and pit and fissure sealants. It bonds to both enamel and dentin in a moist field and releases fluoride. Surface preparation, other than pumice cleaning, is not necessary, although conditioning liquids may be used. GC Fuji TRIAGE is a light pink color and is packaged in capsules that contain 0.13 ml of mixed material. The capsule is mixed in a high-speed amalgamator and placed into an applicator gun for direct placement onto the tooth surface. Working time is 1:40; setting time is 2:45. A Command Set feature allows reduction of setting time by 30% with exposure to heat from a QTH curing light for 20-40 seconds. GC Fuji TRIAGE should be covered with GC Fuji Varnish or a light-cured resin to protect the restoration from early exposure to water. Finishing and polishing procedures may be started after 4-6 minutes from the start of mix. The started kit contains 50 capsules, a surface protectant material (varnish), a cavity conditioner, and an applicator gun. Twenty-three consultants used GC Fuji TRIAGE in over 300 applications. This product received an 88% clinical rating.
