The GC Initial IQ — one body, layering-over-metal concept — enables dental technicians to achieve simple and economical reproduction of standard Vita shades by application of a single layer. A true one powder build ceramic without compromising esthetics. Through the development of the Initial IQ, GC can now offer a compact ceramic set for the fast and easy reproduction of the standard Vita shades.

This new system enables technicians to reproduce the same esthetic results time and again with fewer materials.

The secret: Four new body materials, which can be combined with the proven three-dimensional Lustre Pastes.

In unstable economic times and an ever changing industry, GC has developed a revolutionary new material to make laboratories more productive in less time. More facts:

Crown build-up with only one powder allows full attention to shaping and function
Fast reproduction of standard Vita® shades following the “paint-by-numbers” with Lustre Pastes
Total compatibility within the existing MC/Initial range and with many alloys
Saves time and increases productivity by using one powder
Can be used as an excellent starter module for new ceramists
