Die GC GRADIA GUM Farbpalette wurde auf der Basis einer

intensiven Analyse der natürlichen Gingivafarben entwickelt.

Als praktische Hilfe und farbliche Orientierung wird in den gezeigten Beispielen jeweils

eine mögliche GC GRADIA GUM OPAQUE und BODY Kombination genannt.

In Abhängigkeit von den individuellen Gegebenheiten der natürlichen Gingiva

sind selbstverständlich andere Kombinationen möglich!

Gum Opaque: GO11

GRADIA gum shades: G21

NATURE-BASED SHADE SELECTION

z L MA EN 8 41 11/09

GRADIA gum shades system has been designed on the basis

of extensive natural gingiva shade analysis.

The following photographs show four examples of natural gum tissues.

As a practical guide for everyday shade selection,

one possible Gum Opaque and Body combination is proposed.

Depending on the individual shade, other combinations of GRADIA gum shades are possible.

GRADIA gum shades Introduction Microfilled composite resins are well established as high quality restorative materials. Taking advantage of this technology GC has designed a light-cured composite for the highly aesthetic reproduction of missing gingival tissue. GRADIA gum shades is especially indicated for implant superstructures, and other fixed or removable prostheses. Dental technicians wish to work with a truly natural shade system. Therefore GC has analysed a wide range of natural gingival shades.

Layering Diagram – Gingiva Build-up GC GRADIA gum shades Bonding systems used in connection with GRADIA and GRADIA gum shades • METALPRIMER II is applied on metal surfaces for bonding of metal/composite interface. • COMPOSITE PRIMER is used to recreate the inhibition layer prior to additional composite placement. • CERAMIC PRIMER is used for bonding of ceramic/composite interface. Basic Build-up (using a “Gum Block”) GM30 G20* A Gum Block* is built up step by step using GRADIA gum shades G20*.

GC GRADIA gum shades GRADIA gum shades Build-up: Step-by-Step Procedure 1. Wax-up 1. Apply wax separator (MULTISEP) to the master die (e. g. FUJIROCK EP). Wax-up and contour the crowns and the gingival tissues. 1.1. Lingual view of the wax-up. 1.2. Prepare a lingual silicone index using EXAFLEX PUTTY Type. 2. Metal Framework 2. Cut back the wax and apply a thin layer of ADHESIVE II for RETENTION BEADS II SSS to the retention area. Let the surface dry and become tacky.

Attach a silicone index lingually to control the layer thickness. Build up the veneers using GRADIA microceramic composite by standard techniques. Light cure each layer separately according to the curing times for GRADIA. 4.4.

Light cure: 30 s* 6.6. LABOLIGHT LV-III. After application of Gum Body. 6.4. Apply COMPOSITE PRIMER to all cervical areas which were made longer than required. Then build-up GRADIA BODY to reproduce a naturallooking transitional area between the veneers and the gum tissue. Light cure: 1 min 6.7.

GC GRADIA gum shades Build-up: Step-by-Step Procedure 7. Final light cure 8. Adjust and polish 7. GRADIA AIR BARRIER is applied before final light curing. After light curing, rinse AIR BARRIER with water. 8. Adjust and polish using standard techniques and polishing pastes for composites. Light cure: 3 min* * See notes p.3 12 LABOLIGHT LV-III. 8.1. It is unnecessary to use a special diamond polishing paste such as GRADIA DIAPOLISHER.

Notes GRADIA gum shades Notes on the use of GRADIA gum shades 1. Gum Block • If the thickness of the Gum Block exceeds 5 mm, prepare in sections and bond sections together. Place and attach the first block as previously described. Then prepare a second block and light cure for 3 minutes*. Coat the bonding surfaces of both the first and second blocks with COMPOSITE PRIMER. Light cure each block for 1 minute*.

Bonding Systems Bonding Systems for GRADIA and GRADIA gum shades: Step by Step GC METALPRIMER II Bonding agent for metal/resin interfaces 1. Sprinkle RETENTION BEADS II SSS on the wax surface to enhance mechanical bond strength. Invest and cast as usual. 2. Sandblast the metal surface with clean 50-110 μm aluminium oxide. 3. Clean the surface with dry, oil-free air. 4. Immediately apply METALPRIMER II once or twice using a clean, flat brush. 5. Allow to dry for a few seconds. 6.
