GC Initial IQ LUSTRE Pastes NF – Gum Shade Set (Kit), 877088
Description
3-dimensional, paintable ceramic pastes for gingival characterization, developed to create a lifelike transition from the crown margin to the gingiva by painting the gum shades. Compatible with the complete GC Initial ceramic range, covering both “low” and “high” CTE ceramics.
Applications
Gingival (“red aesthetics”) staining/characterization for crowns and bridges
Implant-supported restorations requiring soft-tissue zone customization
Gingival areas on zirconia frameworks and other ceramic substructures within the GC Initial range
Key features
Ready-to-use jar consistency with thixotropy for precise application
5 gum-colored pastes + 4 mixable modifiers for custom gingival shades
Designed for fast, paint-on gingival individualization
