The GC America Fuji IX GP is a reliable and popular self-cured glass ionomer restorative material. This "GP" (Glass Polyalkenoate) version is designed for posterior restorations and is known for its packable, dough-like consistency that is easy to handle and place.

As a true glass ionomer, it chemically bonds directly to dentin and enamel, eliminating the need for a separate bonding agent or etching. This simplifies the procedure, making it an excellent choice for a variety of clinical situations, particularly in pediatric and geriatric dentistry where moisture control can be a challenge. The Fuji IX GP is highly wear-resistant and has a thermal expansion coefficient similar to natural tooth structure, which helps to maintain the marginal seal and prevent microleakage.

Its most notable feature is the sustained fluoride release, which helps to remineralize the surrounding tooth structure and prevent secondary caries. This "Starter Pack" contains everything needed to begin using the system, including an assortment of 48 capsules in common shades (A2, A3, A3.5, B2, and B3), a GC Capsule Applier, GC Cavity Conditioner, and a bottle of GC Fuji COAT LC, which is a light-cured sealant used to protect the surface of the restoration.
