GC presents new Initial Lustre Pastes NF in gingival shades

Given the increasing number of implant superstructures, the demand for suitable ceramic shades is on the rise– and fordental laboratories especially the transition from the crown margin to the gingiva presents an aesthetic challenge. To create life-like appearances in a fast, easy and secure way, the family-owned Japanese company GC extends its product portfolio to include the unique three-dimensional ceramic colours GC Initial Lustre Pastes NF Gum Shades – which can be applied by simply painting on the material. At an exclusive press event at IDS 2015, GC will be officially presenting the new Initial Lustre Pastes NF Gum Shades to the dental public.

The global dental provider GC, supplying dental laboratories with its proven Initial line for more than a decade now, presents therenowned InitialLustre Pastes NF technology in gum shades: By using this innovative gingiva-coloured material, dental technicians are now able to create a life-like transition between the crown margin and the gingiva.Since the lustre pastes optimally match to both “low” and “high” CTE ceramics (CTE 6.9 to 13.3), the system is compatible with the complete GC Initial ceramic range – to bring not only the white, but also the red aesthetics to life.

The new Initial Lustre Pastes NF Gum Shades are provided in easy to handle jars for a convenient application, along with dilution and refreshing liquids that ensure an ideal thixotropy until the end of the application process. Requiring no complex layering or extra firing cycles, they allow an comfortable individual adaptation to the natural colour of the gums – by simply painting on the material: Available in a ready to use consistency, the pastes are based on fine ceramic particles and can be applied in a thicker layer where they will exhibit unsurpassed nature analogue gum reproduction and a very natural glaze to all restorations.Besides that, Initial Lustre Pastes NF Gum Shades offer dental technicians the choicebetween five pastes that can be combined with four mixable gingival modifiers – for unlimited creativity in imitating natural gum shades!

Initial Lustre Pastes NF Gum Shades have been available since January 2015. Further information on the new GC Initial Lustre Pastes NF in gum shades and on all the other GC products is available online:
