How does Fluoride Releasing GIC Work?

Work

During the procedure, the tooth is cleaned and prepared before the application of the Glass Ionomer Cement. The material chemically bonds to the tooth, eliminating the need for additional adhesives. Over time, it releases fluoride, which strengthens enamel and reduces the risk of cavities. Fluoride Releasing GIC is particularly beneficial for patients prone to tooth decay, as it offers long-term protection against bacterial attacks. Additionally, it is biocompatible, making it safe and suitable for various dental restorations, including fillings for primary and permanent teeth.
