Replacing existing restorations – GC EUROPE Fuji VIII GP User Manual
Page 14
When existing proximal restorations fail due to continu-
ing caries activity, you might find it difficult to find a well-
shaded restoration that offers a durable seal, protects the
tooth and withstands an acidic oral environment – yet
represents good value for your money and actually looks
nice. In these situations, use a closed sandwich technique
with Fuji IX GP. First seal and protect the tooth, then
laminate all exposed external surfaces with composite
resin (such as Gradia Direct Posterior).
