GC Fuji VII in capsule form is the revolutionary glass ionomer sealant and surface protectant. It is fantastic at keeping young patients’ teeth cavity-free. There is no isolation or bonding agent required. It works in a moist field. The self-bonding, high fluoride releasing GC Fuji VII creates a strong, acid-resistant fused layer.
Fuji VII White is for fully erupted teeth; Fuji VII Pink offers a visual indicator that is ideal for newly erupted molars. GC Fuji VII sets in around four minutes. If a faster set is desired, use a visible light curing device for 20-40 seconds. Place light source as closely as possible to the cement surface. This function applies only to the Pink Shade.
Indications :-
- Surface and fissure protection.
- Root surface protection.
- Hypersensitivity prevention and control.
- Intermediate endodontic sealing.
- Intermediate restorations.
- Caries stabilisation.
Advantages :-
- Flowable consistency to ensure effective wetting and intimate adhesion to tooth surfaces
- Moisture tolerant- can be applied in situations where saliva control is difficult
- Available in white and special pink shades for clear identification
Features
- Self-bonding ion exchange and high fluoride release create a strong, acid-resistant, chemically fused layer that will continue to offer protection to the occlusal surface for up to 24 months.
- Etching, bonding agents, or tooth isolation is not required.
- Strong, lasting bond to tooth structure.
- Moisture-friendly; perfect for sealing and protecting newly erupted molars or endodontically treated preparations.
- The tooth-like coefficient of thermal expansion improves the sealant staying power, which helps maintain marginal integrity (when used as a restorative).
- Prevents further erosion in rampant caries cases.
- Fluoride release can be recharged when the patient uses a fluoridated rinse or dentifrice.
- Mixes in 10 seconds; ideal consistency every time.
- The capsule applier allows direct delivery for easy application.
- Low viscosity – Penetrates into pits and fissures; it can be brushed on with a micro-tip brush or blown in with air syringe.

Directions to Use
- Shake the capsule or tap its side on a hard surface to loosen the powder.
- To activate the capsule, push the plunger until it is flush with main body.
- Immediately place the capsule into a metal GC Capsule Applier and click. the lever once.The capsule is now activated. Note : The capsule should be activated just before mixing and used immediately.
- Immediately remove the capsule and set it into a mixer (an amalgamator) and mix for 10 seconds at high speed (+/-4,000 RPM).
- Immediately remove the mixed capsule from the mixer and load it into the GC Capsule Applier.
- Make two clicks to prime the capsule then syringe.
- Remove surface moisture but do not desiccate.
- Extrude cement directly into preparation, then use a brush to spread a film of GC Fuji VII directly over the root surface or hypersensitive area or over the occlusal surface and into the pits and fissures.
- A ball burnisher is used to contour the unset glass ionomer. The burnisher can be lubricated with Cocoa Butter or Fuji COAT to aid manipulation.
- Form the contour and place a matrix if required.
- Light-cure for 20 seconds using a suitable visible light curing device (470 nm wavelength). Light curing function only applies for pink shade. After light cure, it is advisable to protect the surface with a varnish.
- Finish under water spray using superfine diamond bur, silicone point and polishing strips.
