GC KALORE
LIGHT-CURED RADIOPAQUE UNIVERSAL COMPOSITE
RESTORATIVE
For use only by a dental professional in the recommended indications.
RECOMMENDED INDICATIONS
1. Direct restorative for class i, ii, iii, iV, V cavities.
2. Direct restorative for wedge-shaped defects and root surface
cavities.
3. Direct restorative for veneers and diastema closure.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
1. Pulp capping.
2. in rare cases the product may cause sensitivity in some people. if
any such reactions are experienced, discontinue the use of the
product and refer to a physician.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
1. Shade Selection
Clean the tooth with pumice and water. Shade selection should be
made prior to isolation. Select the appropriate shades by referring to
the KALORE Shade Guide or Multi Shade Build-Up
Guide.
2. Cavity Preparation
Prepare cavity using standard techniques. Dry by
gently blowing with oil free air.
Note: For pulp capping, use calcium hydroxide.
3. Bonding Treatment
For bonding KalORe to enamel and / or dentin,
use a light-cured bonding system such as Gc Fuji
BOND™ LC, UniFil® Bond or G-BOND™ (Fig. 1).
Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Placement of KALORE
1) Dispensing from a unitip
insert the KalORe unitip into a commercially
available applier. (Centrix Applier is recommended.)
Refer to the applier manufacturer’s instructions for use. Remove the cap
and extrude material directly into the prepared cavity. Use steady
pressure (Fig. 2).
2) Dispensing from a syringe
Remove syringe cap and dispense material onto a mixing pad. Place the
material into the cavity using a suitable placement instrument. after
dispensing, screw syringe plunger anticlockwise by a half to full turn to
release residual pressure inside the syringe. Replace cap immediately
after use.
note:
1. material can be applied in a single shade layer to achieve aesthetic
restorations using universal shades. For details, refer to the clinical
hints.
2. Material may be hard to extrude immediately after removing from
cold storage. Prior to use, let stand for a few minutes at normal
room temperature.
3. After dispensing, minimize exposure to ambient light. Ambient
light can shorten the manipulation time.
CLINICAL HINTS
a. in the case of small cavities
Restore using a one shade technique. in most cases the use of one
universal shade alone will be sufficient. in cases where a higher
degree of translucency is needed, one of the translucent shades
can be selected.
b. in the case of large and/or deep cavities
in most cases a multi shade layering technique will give the
best aesthetic results. to block out shine through from the
oral cavity or to mask discolored dentine, select an
appropriate Opaque shade and continue to build up with a
universal shade. For optimal esthetics use a translucent
shade as the final composite layer.
in the case of deep posterior cavities, a flowable composite
such as GRaDia® DiRect Flo / loFlo or a glass ionomer
cement such as Gc Fuji lininG™ lc (Paste Pak) or Gc Fuji
iX™ GP can be used on the cavity floor instead of an
Opaque shade.

SHADES.
5. Contouring before Light Curing
contour using standard techniques.
6. Light Curing
light cure KalORe using a light curing unit (Fig. 3). Keep light
guide as close as possible to the surface.
