GS-80 - Amalgam
Economical, Non-gamma 2, Admix alloy
GS-80’s high strength and positive dimensional change ensures longevity and patient satisfaction .Over 200 million successful GS-80 restorations have been placed since its release worldwide in 1986.
High compressive strength
GS-80’s high compressive strength minimizes the risk of fracturing the restoration. High compressive strength ensures a tough and durable long lasting restoration.
Optimal handling characteristics
GS-80’s consistent mix, ease of loading, placement in preparations, condensability, burnishability, quality of interproximal contact, carvability, and setting characteristics ensure the final restorations meet the needs of the operator.
Positive dimensional change
GS-80’s positive dimensional change ensures excellent sealing qualities at the margins. Negative values can contribute to post operative sensitivity.
Larger choice of capsule sizes
The working and setting times allow large restorations to be condensed and carved without difficulty.
Capsule System
The SDI capsule system is designed to give consistent and accurate mixes every mix.
The plungers denote the spill size:
1. Core build up.
2. Class-I and class-II cavities.
3. For the restoration in the carious teeth
2. Class-I and class-II cavities.
3. For the restoration in the carious teeth

Instructions:
1. Isolate tooth.
2. Prepare cavity using standard technique for amalgam restoration.
Note: In cases where pulp protection is necessary, use a calcium hydroxide liner or glass ionomer cement.
3. Activate a capsule on a bench or hard surface until plunger is fully flushed with the body of the capsule.
4. Place activated capsule in a high speed multi-use triturator
5. Triturate capsule
6. Carefully remove the triturated capsule from the triturator and gently tap the base on a bench or hard surface once.
7. Open the capsule by removing the base from the body to access the prepared amalgam.
Note: Freshly mixed amalgam should have a bright look and a plastic consistency.
8. Immediately insert amalgam into prepared cavity using a clean amalgam carrier employing standard amalgam condensation technique.
Note:
i. “If moisture is introduced into the dental amalgam before it has set, properties such as strength and corrosion resistance can be affected adversely. If the alloy contains zinc, such contamination can result in excessive expansion (delayed expansion). Use a dry field, whenever it is possible.”
ii. Permite contains zinc in an alloyed form and not free zinc. It’s the free zinc which is very sensitive to moisture.
9. Remove any mercury rich amalgam from the surface that may develop during condensation.
10. Trimming and carving can begin after condensation using a sharp carver.
11. Light burnishing can be carried out after 24 hours to improve surface smoothness.
12. Avoid over heating by ensuring adequate water cooling and low speed.
Storage:
Store at temperatures below 25 ̊C / 77 ̊F in a well-ventilated place
