GC Initial IQ ONE SQIN is a paintable colour-and-form ceramic concept for the aesthetic realization of monolithic or minimal buccally reduced dental frameworks made of zirconium dioxide or lithium disilicate. It allows you to fast and easily achieve high aesthetic results, comparable to conventionally layered restorations but with a significant time gain. Both in the posterior and anterior region.

The GC Initial IQ ONE SQIN System Set is based upon the GC Initial “IQ philosophy” and consists of different perfectly adapted ceramic materials:

GC Initial IQ Lustre Pastes ONE
The most versatile paintable ceramic for external staining as well as internal characterisation of substructures. When used with SQIN, it also serves as the connection firing.

Ready-to-use consistency
Inherent fluorescence
3D colour deepness
GC Initial IQ SQIN
Completes the final contour of your restorations offering vitality, texture and natural gloss.

Easy form and texture
Self-glazing effect
3D surface structure
GC Initial Spectrum Stains

Fine powder stains for extra individual effects.
Infinite colour nuances
Can be mixed with Lustre Pastes ONE or SQIN.

Suitable for the aesthetic realization of monolithic or minimal buccal reduced dental frameworks made of zirconium dioxide or lithium disilicate.
 

Minimal Buccal reduced realizations (Micro-layering technique)

GC Initial Lustre Pastes ONE are used as colour & individualization layer assuring a perfect connection firing before application of the SQIN in the micro-layering technique.

The SQIN ceramic can be applied in a layer thickness of 0.1–0.5 mm over the individually Lustre Pastes ONE painted and fired surface.

Thanks to their refined mixture of feldspar-based glasses, a lifelike three-dimensional effect is created, bringing colour deepness and lifelike translucency to your restorations.   

In combination with the dedicated Form & Texture Liquid it offers unique application and modelling properties allowing individual surface texture.

Furthermore, the mixture of Form & Texture liquid and the SQIN powders results in a highly compact and dense ceramic slurry with self-glazing properties after ceramic firing.
 

Monolithic realizations (Painting technique)

GC Initial Lustre Pastes ONE is a feldspar-based ceramic material, available in a ready to use consistency. Composed of fine ceramic particles, the 3-dimensional paint-on pastes
bring colour deepness and lifelike translucency to your monolithic restorations. They can be applied in a thicker layer guaranteeing unsurpassed vitality and a very natural glaze.

The Lustre Pastes ONE, with improved fluorescence, are especially developed to boost the fluorescence of your monolithic restorations. All Lustre Pastes ONE are fluorescent throughout different levels. Boost your fluorescence level with Lustre Neutral FLUO (L-NFL).
