Fuji IX GP glass ionomer from GC (UK) Ltd is a core build-up material which can be used following endodontic treatment. The product is mixed to a putty-like consistency, either by hand or by using GC's capsulated system. The non-sticky material will not pull back when placed using metal hand instruments and due to its non-slump characteristics, it will stay exactly where you place it.

Fuji IX GP can be packed and shaped during the setting phase. This fluoride releasing material sets in four minutes and can be trimmed and finished immediately with water-cooled instruments. It will adhere to any pins or posts present without the need for additional bonding agents and exhibits high bond strengths to tooth structure.

It can be used in a variety of applications including permanent and semi-permanent restorative work for children including the sealing of pits and fissures and as a geriatric restorative material, particularly where root caries are present.
