GC first opened the doors of its UK division in April 1993 selling the (then) newly-launched Fuji II LC glass ionomer restorative material. This was a totally unique concept in restorative materials that took the market by storm. Since those early days, GC (UK) has grown from strength to strength over the years, spreading its wings to include the full range of Fuji glass ionomers, impression materials, and a new aesthetic composite system, Gradia Direct. Laboratory products include a range of investments, dental stones, a composite crown & bridge material and Initial, an all-round ceramic system for every indication.

Following extensive research in minimal intervention techniques, GC is putting together a complete programme to enable dentists and their patients to benefit. As a result, UK dentists have been excited by the addition to the Fuji glass ionomer range, Fuji VII. This was followed by the introduction of the Saliva-Check Buffer Kit, providing a valuable diagnosis tool to help identify potential problems in the oral environment due to unhealthy saliva.

The latest product to be introduced is a remineralising topical cream called Tooth Mousse, the 'fluid enamel' which restores mineral balance. Contact GC (UK) for further details.
