Effective Glass Ionomer Protection

  • Self-bonding ion exchange and high fluoride release create a strong, acid-resistant, chemically fused layer that will continue to offer protection to the occlusal surface for up to 24 months. No etching. No bonding agent.
  • Strong, lasting bond to tooth structure.
  • Moisture-friendly. Perfect for sealing and protecting newly erupted molars or endodontically treated preparations. Tooth isolation is not required.
  • Tooth-like coefficient of thermal expansion improves sealant staying power and helps maintain marginal integrity when used as a restorative.
  • Fewer steps. Self-bonding, can seal in less than half the time of a resin.

Long Term Fluoride Release

  • GC Fuji TRIAGE has the highest fluoride release of any glass ionomer or resin.
  • Six times more than any of the latest glass ionomers.
  • Provides patients with up to 24 months fluoride protection every application.
  • More than just a sealant barrier, the advanced fluoride protection of GC Fuji TRIAGE offers your patient protection from secondary caries.
  • Prevents non-carious lesions from progressing to caries.
  • Improves likelihood of remineralization and strengthens the enamel.
  • Prevents further erosion in rampant caries cases.
  • Fluoride release can be recharged when the patient uses a fluoridated rinse or dentifrice.

Pink or White

  • Light pink color offers visual indicator of placement, tooth growth and wear. Pink material offers “Command Set” to speed up cure time by light-curing with halogen/plasma curing light. (Material does not photopolymerize; it speeds up curing time by absorbing heat from the light.)
  • White color available for improved patient acceptance. “Command Set” not available in TRIAGE White.

Low Viscosity

  • Penetrates into pits and fissures. Can be brushed on with micro-tip brush or blown in with air syringe.
  • Stays where it’s put - without running.

Premeasured Capsule Convenience

  • Mixes in 10 seconds. Ideal consistency every time.
  • Capsule applier allows direct delivery for easy application.

Other Indications

  • Great for non-carious lesions or surface abrasions. Provides lasting relief of hypersensitivity.
  • Temporary endodontic sealing - provides effective seal between endodontic visits.
  • Intermediate Restorative for rampant caries - first step in overall treatment, stops progression to caries.
