G-ænial is available in two different versions: G-ænial Anterior and G-ænial Posterior. These have
been formulated to fulfil the different requirements of Anterior and Posterior composites with
respect to such features as radiopacity and handling.
By offering different shades, opacities and values with tooth like opalescence and fluorescence,
G-ænial Anterior and Posterior are designed to provide an appearance similar to that of the natural
tooth. G-ænial was developed to provide the clinician the following advantages:

4.1 Filler
Two different kind of pre-polymerized fillers are used, offering clinical useful radiopacity while
keeping perfect aesthetics both in Anterior and Posterior. The pre-polymerized fillers also
contribute to the low level of shrinkage found with G-ænial. They are produced by polymerizing a
resin matrix in which micro-fillers were incorporated, and then milling the polymerized resin into
particles averaging 16 to 17µ in size.
Fluoroaluminosilicate glass is added to the Posterior formulation for increased radiopacity while
Silica is used in the Anterior formulation.
Finally, fumed silica is dispersed between the pre-polymerized fillers and the other inorganic
fillers.

G-ænial uses a combination of camphorquinone and amine as the catalyst. Light activation can
be carried out with quartz halogen, plasma or LED curing units.
One of the biggest challenges in prosthetic and restorative dentistry is to reproduce Mother
Nature’s well balanced tooth colour harmony. Patients demand restorations that equal or surpass
the aesthetics of nature and that are indiscernible from the tooth structure. One of the main
objectives in developing G-ænial was to create a state-of-the-art composite that would offer
predictable aesthetics in both simple and complex situations. With G-ænial, it is possible for the
clinician to balance dental science and the artistry of a patient’s smile.
Colour depends on three factors: the colour (hue), the saturation of the colour (chroma) and the
lightness/darkness of the colour (value). In dentistry, a fourth factor, translucency, is equally important.
Translucency is defined as the property to allow light to pass through, but only diffusely; as a result,
an object on the other side is not clearly distinguishable. Opaque materials are not translucent.
Translucency of a composite material is necessary to adjust the value of the restoration to that of
the natural tooth and avoid a non-aesthetic opaque result. However, restoration thickness will vary
in a cavity, giving more or less translucency. Light reflection will also differ depending on the angle
from which the restoration is observed. Therefore, it can be assumed that translucency and
variations in opacity alone will not result in a chameleon effect.
The natural reflection of light from the tooth determines the colour observed by the human eye.
When we look at a tooth, reflected light is observed that consists mainly of mirror and diffused
reflection. Mirror reflection determines the quality of the gloss, while we “feel” the hue, chroma,
value and translucency from diffusively reflected light.
The light scattering property of a material can be evaluated using a goniophotometer. This is
designed to measure the intensity of transmitted light at various angles (-90 to +90 degrees).

Figure 7 shows artificial cavities in a block of composite shade A3 that were filled with 2 different
composites with shade A2. Only one of these is able to mimic the surrounding environment. After
analysing their light diffusing properties with the goniophotometer, it appears that the one which
adapts the best possesses higher scattering properties.
The ability of a composite to scatter light and diffusely reflect it similarly to the natural tooth makes
it possible to achieve a perfect match with the surrounding tooth structure. A composite material
becomes invisible only when it has this scattering property and can then be used in a single shade
layer technique.
Like the tooth, G-ænial contains different interfaces with different optical properties, resulting in
varied reflection of light. The excellent scattering ability of G-ænial is related to the extremely
diverse structural composition, which results in it mimicking the reflectivity of a natural
tooth.

G-ænial Anterior exhibits the highest light scattering amongst the competitors tested. An excellent
chameleon effect can thus be achieved, resulting in invisible restorations. This is the main reason
why highly aesthetic results can be obtained with only one shade of G-ænial, as can been
observed on Figure 11.

Standard shades
Standard shades have been designed to be used mainly in the single-shade technique and present
a very delicate balance between value, translucency, hue and chroma. They are grouped into A
(reddish-brown), B (reddish-yellow), C (grey), Bleach and Cervical shades. Each shade from the
same group has the same hue and conforms to the arrangement of the Vita® classical shade guide,
with an increasing amount of chroma per group.

As can be seen on Figure 13, G-ænial shade A3 Figure 13: Blending (chameleon) effect observed with

guide tabs has unique blending and invisible
properties: the material adapts to the underneath
shade tabs and perfectly matches the environment.
As a result, one shade will be sufficient for most
cavities.
Although excellent aesthetics can be achieved for the majority of cases with just a single shade,
there may be times when a multi-shade technique is preferred, such as when extensive restorations
are required. G-ænial offers two additional types of shades to choose from, called Special Shades.
Inside shades are placed underneath a Standard Shade, and are more opaque to block the
transmission of light from the oral cavity. Outside shades are placed on top of Standard shades to
copy the value (lightness/darkness) of a tooth, to mimic age-dependent changes in the enamel and
to give more “depth” to a final restoration.
Outside special shades give an extra dimension to the restoration. Monochromatic composite
restorations are often found to have the appearance of less vitality compared to ceramic. This
happens when the value of the restoration is not appropriate for the tooth; the enamel surface is
the main contributor to the value of a tooth.
Enamel changes over time, becoming thinner and more translucent. It also decreases in value from
high (whiter) to low (darker). Outside special shades are designed to reflect these changes, helping
the dentist to create restorations with age-appropriate values. Depending on the intended use,
several slightly-pigmented outside shades can be used to obtain a highly indication-specific hue
and chroma. Due to the uniqueness of these shades, a classification to Vita is not possible. For
shade reference, the G-ænial shade guide should be used.
Outside Shades offer the same degree of translucency, but have different values to provide for
age-appropriate values.

At the same time as the thickness of the enamel decreases with age, the translucency increases.
To mimic this change at, for instance, the incisal edges of teeth, IE (Incisal Enamel) and TE
(Translucent Enamel) have been developed.
Additionally, the TE shade can be used to reproduce the transparent layer that
can be observed at the enamodentinal junction (Figure 17). This will simulate a
natural in-depth effect.

Worldwide, the VITAPAN Classical shade guide is the guide dentists use when selecting shades.
Consequently, our composite shades are mostly in line with this shade guide. For shade matching
with G-ænial, reference should be made to the Body section part of the tabs of this guide.
Alternatively, the G-ænial shade guide can be used to select the appropriate Standard Shade for
the clinical situation.
In some cases, e.g., larger-sized cavities or cases with high aesthetic Figure 22 Cross-section of

values. These can be selected from the G-ænial Special Shades. dental structures

structure (mainly dentin) (part 2 of Figure 22).

Insides Shades: These should be used to bring opacity to the part of the 3
restoration replacing dentin (part 1 of Figure 22).
The incisal/approximal areas of the teeth are good sites to determine the value. The three main
G-ænial shades which will help in reproducing these values are the age-related shades: JE (Junior
Enamel), AE (Adult Enamel) and SE (senior Enamel). Alternatively, the classical Vita shade guide can
be re-organised according to value, as shown in Figure 24.
JE AE SE
Hue and chroma are mainly determined using the G-ænial Shade guide. Alternatively, the classical
Vita shade guide can be used, paying attention to cover and ignore the cervical part of the tab
which is too dark and could result in the selection of an incorrect colour.
Shade guide
Although most of G-ænial shades are linked to the Vita classical shade guide, several Special
outside shades and some Standard shades (Bleach, Cervical) are custom. The G-ænial shade guide
is fabricated from plastic and each respective shade guide finger is wedge-shaped with increasing
thickness. This design was chosen to offer dentists the possibility of judging the influence of the
thickness of a composite layer on the shade.
In some more aesthetically demanding cases, however, Inside and Outside shades will be required
to bring life to the restoration. Table 3 provides possible shade combinations.

In order to ease the shade selection and support the practitioner in the multi-layering build-up, GC
has developed a unique 3D interactive tool: the G-ænial Configurator. For more information on GC
G-ænial Configurator, please ask your local GC representative. The G-ænial Quick start Configurator
is available on our website: http://www.gceurope.com/goto/multimedia.
The modulus of elasticity (Young’s modulus) – a measure of the rigidity of the material – is defined
by the initial slope of a stress-strain curve. A material with a high modulus is stiff and rigid, whereas
a material with a low modulus is flexible. Ideally, a material should not have a too high modulus
of elasticity as brittle materials are less able to buffer masticatory pressure.
Fracture toughness is a measure of a material’s ability to resist the propagation of a formed crack,
also defined as the toughness against bending stress. The toughness is related to the energy
absorbed in the bending process. The toughness is calculated as the underlying area of the Stress-
Strain curve. A higher value for fracture toughness implies a better resistance to the catastrophic
propagation of cracks.

Objectives: Human teeth have unique light diffusion property which creates special colour
property. Light diffusion property of composite resin is important to provide excellent aesthetic
result on direct composite resin restorations. We developed new composite resin "G-ænial" which
has excellent esthetic property and radiopacity. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare
the light diffusion property of human teeth (dentin), newly developed composite resin "G-ænial"
and various composite resins.
Methods: Human teeth and five composite resins [G-ænial (GN, GC Corporation), Herculite XRV
Ultra (HU, Kerr Corporation), PREMISE (PR, Kerr Corporation), Venus (VE, Heraeus Kulzer GmbH)
and Esthet. X HD (EH, Dentsply)] were examined. Human teeth (dentin) specimen was prepared by
slicing and polishing to form 0.5mm in thick. Disk specimens 0.5 mm thick were prepared from each
composite resin. LED curing light (G-Light, GC) was used for curing composite resin specimens.
The light diffusion property was measured as diffusive light transmittance distribution through
specimen by Goniophotometer (GP-200, MURAKAMI COLOUR RESERCH LABORATORY Corporation)
and evaluated for Haze that is calculated from the ratio of diffusive light transmittance to total light
transmittance. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA (p-value<0.01).
Results: Mean values of Haze including standard deviations were shown as follows; (tests per
material; n=3).
Haze (%)
Human Dentin 97.2(0.7)
GN 95.6(0.1)
HU 58.9(0.4)
PR 66.8(0.2)
VE 60.2(0.5)
EH 46.9(0.4)
There is no significant difference on Haze between Human dentin and GN. However, Haze for other
composite resins except GN were significantly lower than Human dentin.
Conclusion: Haze of G-ænial was higher than those of other composite resins and similar to that of
Human dentin. These results suggested that G-ænial can provide esthetic result similar to natural
teeth on direct composite restorations.
RECOMMENDED INDICATIONS
A. G-ænial ANTERIOR
1. Direct restorative for Class III, IV, V cavities.
2. Direct restorative for wedge-shaped defects and root surface cavities.
3. Direct restorative for veneers and diastema closure.
B. G-ænial POSTERIOR
1. Direct restorative for Class I and II cavities.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
1. Pulp capping.
2. In rare cases the product may cause sensitivity in some people. If any such reactions are
experienced, discontinue the use of the product and refer to a physician.
2. Cavity Preparation
Prepare cavity using standard techniques. Dry by gently blowing with oil free air.
Note : For pulp capping, use calcium hydroxide.
3. Bonding Treatment
For bonding G-ænial to enamel and / or dentin, use a light-cured bonding system
such as GC G-BOND™, GC Fuji BOND LC or GC UniFil® Bond (Fig. 1). Follow
manufacturer’s instructions. Fig. 1
4. Placement of G-ænial
1. Dispensing from a Unitip
Insert the G-ænial Unitip into the Unitip APPLIER or equivalent. Remove the cap
and extrude material directly into the prepared cavity. Use steady pressure (Fig . Fig. 2
2). Maintain pressure on the applier handle while removing the Unitip APPLIER and Unitip from the
mouth. This prevents the Unitip from coming loose from the applier.
Note :
1. Basically, material can be applied in a single layer to achieve aesthetic restorations using
Standard shades. For details, refer to the Clinical Hints.
2. Material may be hard to extrude immediately after removing from cold storage. Prior to use,
leave to stand for a few minutes at normal room temperature.
3. After dispensing, avoid too long exposure to ambient light. Ambient light can shorten the
manipulation time.
1. Anterior cavities
a. In the case of small cavities
Restore using a one shade layering technique. In most cases the use of one Standard shade alone
will be sufficient. In cases where a higher degree of translucency is needed, one of the Outside
special shades can be selected. See also Examples of Clinical applications.
b. In the case of large cavities
In most cases a multi shade layering technique will give the best aesthetic results. To block out
shine throughs from the oral cavity or to mask discoloured dentin, select an appropriate Inside
special shade and continue to build up with a Standard shade. To make a restoration more life like
e.g. to copy age related changes in appearance, the final layer should consist of an Outside special
shade. See also Examples of Clinical Applications and / or consult the Shade Combination Chart.
2. Posterior cavities
a. In the case of small cavities
Restore using a one shade layering technique. In most cases the use of one Standard shade alone
will be sufficient. In cases where a higher translucency is needed, one of the Outside special shades
can be selected. See also Examples of Clinical Applications.
b. In the case of deep cavities
Place a flowable composite such as G-ænial Flo or G-ænial Universal Flo on the cavity floor. Then
place a Standard shade. For optimal aesthetics use an Outside special shade as the final composite
layer. See also Examples of clinical applications.
*GC Fuji LINING® PASTE PAK, GC Fuji LINING® LC or GC Fuji IX GP can also be used as a liner
or base material. Follow the respective manufacturer’s instructions for use.

6. Light Curing
Light cure G-ænial using a light curing unit (Fig. 3). Keep light guide as close as possible to the
surface. Refer to the following chart for Irradiation Time and Effective Depth of Cure.
Note :
1. Material should be placed and light cured in layers. For maximum layer thickness, please consult
the tables.
2. Lower light intensity may cause insufficient curing or discoloration of the material.
STORAGE
Store in a cool and dark place (4 – 25°C / 39.2 – 77.0°F) away from high temperatures or direct
sunlight. (Shelf life: 3 years from date of manufacture)
CAUTION
1. In case of contact with oral tissue or skin, remove immediately with cotton or a sponge soaked
in alcohol. Flush with water.
2. In case of contact with eyes, flush immediately with water and seek medical attention.
3. Take care to avoid ingestion of the material.
4. Wear plastic or rubber gloves during operation to avoid direct contact with air inhibited resin
layers in order to prevent possible sensitivity.
5. For infection control reasons, Unitips are for single use only.
6. Wear protective eye glasses during light curing.
7. When polishing the polymerised material, use a dust collector and wear a dust mask to avoid
inhalation of cutting dust.
8. Do not mix with other similar products.
9. Avoid getting material on clothing.
10. In case of contact with unintended areas of tooth or prosthetic appliances, remove with
