How Does it Work
GIC Generation Filling involves the application of a glass ionomer cement material directly onto the tooth surface. The cement is mixed and applied to the prepared tooth, where it bonds chemically and releases fluoride. This process creates a strong and durable restoration that blends naturally with the surrounding teeth, providing a reliable and aesthetically pleasing result.
