Notes on the use of GRADIA gum shades
1. Gum Block • If the thickness of the Gum Block exceeds 5 mm, prepare in sections and bond
sections together.
Place and attach the first block as previously described.
Then prepare a second block and light cure for 3 minutes*.
Coat the bonding surfaces of both the first and second blocks with
COMPOSITE PRIMER.
Light cure each block for 1 minute*.
Apply GM30 to the surface and attach the second block to bond to the first one.
Light cure: 3 min in LABOLIGHT LV-III.
The use of a Gum Block will minimize curing shrinkage and allow build-up of
a defined layer of GRADIA gum shades material, which makes the following
procedure easier.
2. Gum Body • When applying any of GRADIA gum shades materials in extensive area,
Gum Translucent build up in sections of 2-3 teeth and light cure for 30 seconds*, respectively.
materials (GT41, G20, GM30)
Gum Modifier
3. Gum Fiber • When adding Gum Fiber, place the fibers onto the air inhibited layer to fix.
Cover with a layer of Gum Translucent (GT41) and light cure.
4. Gum Modifier • Gum Modifier shades can be mixed depending on the individual requirements.
5. Curing Time • The STEPLIGHT SL-I cannot be used to light-cure Gum Opaque materials.
• When using a hand-held light curing device*, apply light from all directions
for complete polymerization.
• The STEPLIGHT SL-I cannot be used for final curing.
• When using a hand-held light curing device*, apply light from all directions
for complete polymerization.
• For details of light curing, please refer to page 3.
6. Gum Fiber • When using Gum Fiber, cover with a layer of Gum Translucent (GT41) or
GRADIA gum shades (G20).
7. Polishing • Glossy resin surfaces can be obtained without a special polishing material.
