Technique Guide
 INTRODUCTION

Transform the way you work

GC’s resin composite products are game changers within the industry. Our High Density Resin formulas provide
the ultimate in flexural strength, wear-resistance, and color/gloss retention. They provide a high esthetic, with a
chameleon effect that blends in naturally with existing dentition. Handling is intuitive and easy, and adaptation to
the cavity helps to ensure a secure marginal seal, which resists development opportunities for secondary caries.
Restorations completed with GC’s proprietary resin formulas allow you to be artistic and creative with your work,
while providing your patient with a solution that looks just as natural as the day it was placed.

This technique manual provides several creative ways to use GC’s resin composite products to handle cases from
the simple to the more complex. Step-by-step illustrations suggest how GC’s products combine to provide you with
lifelike results that will last for many years to come.

See for yourself how GC’s resin composites can help you delight your patients, while improving your overall
productivity. The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination.
