Initial IQ Lustre Pastes ONE & Spectrum Stains are also part of the IQ ONE SQIN concept.

Initial Lustre Pastes ONE
3D paintable ceramic with improved fluorescence for external staining
as well as internal characterisation of substructures

Paintable ceramic
Initial IQ Lustre Pastes ONE / NF are based on a special mixture of fine ceramic particles for a 3D effect

Time saving
No need for complex layering or extra firing cycles to create lifelike restorations

White & red Aesthetic
Available in V-shades and gum shades to obtain unsurpassed vitality. The Lustre Pastes ONE, with improved fluorescence, are especially developed to boost the fluorescence of your monolithic restorations.
Initial Spectrum Stains
2D staining effect to create glossy surface
while conserving the texture

Stain & glaze
For internal and external staining with reliable results: stain and gloss with a very fine 2D end result

Adaptable consistency
Adaptable to the user’s preferred consistency: either more liquid or as a paste

Aesthetic
Detailed characterization for
glossy surfaces

GC Initial IQ ONE SQIN
With GC Initial IQ ONE SQIN – the paintable colour-and-form ceramic system – you can quickly and easily achieve high aesthetic results, comparable to conventionally layered restorations but with a significant time gain.
Step-by-step

Indications Initial Lustre Pastes
With Initial Lustre Pastes you can easily create white and red aesthetics to bring depth, authenticity and gloss.
Lustre Pastes ONE V-shades offer 4 body shades to achieve natural V-shades in the easiest way, 12 effect shades to further characterize the restorations changing the brightness, colour and value of the restoration including a lifelike fluorescence. The 2 neutral shades to just add gloss and/or to boost your fluorescence level. From complex layering to monolithical restorations.
With Lustre Pastes Gum a lifelike transition from the crown margin to the gingiva can be easily obtained. Available in 9 shades that are based on a thoughtful selection of non-fluorescent, pink coloured ceramic particles.
Compatible to a wide CTE-range.
Indications Initial Spectrum Stains
The stains and glaze are developed for the external staining and glazing of tooth-coloured ceramic materials and internal individualization of layering ceramics.
Compatible to a wide CTE-range.

Click hereFAQ Initial Lustre Pastes
Can Initial Lustre Pastes and Initial Spectrum Stains be used together?
Yes, they can be mixed with moderation to intensify the Lustre Pastes ONE/NF. Mix the required amount of stain powder with the Lustre Pastes ONE Dilution Liquid and mix it with the required Lustre Pastes ONE/NF or directly mix the stain powders. Initial Lustre Pastes and Spectrum Stains are compatible products.
Can I apply more than one layer of Lustre Pastes ONE/NF?
Yes, you can do further firings, keeping the same firing temperature.
I have finished my veneered crown (MC/Zr-FS/LiSi/Ti/LF) and I want to use the Lustre Pastes ONE without losing the surface texture of the prepared crown?
You can easily dilute the Lustre Pastes to have the optimal consistency in order not to lose the surface texture and still have a nicely coloured and shiny crown, just apply a thin layer.
Do I have to throw away a shade when it is dried out?
No, you can add Refreshing Liquid till you reach the optimal consistency again.


FAQ Initial Spectrum Stains
Can Initial Lustre Pastes and Initial Spectrum Stains be used together?
Yes, they can be mixed with moderation to intensify the Lustre Pastes ONE. Mix the required amount of stain powder with the Lustre Pastes ONE Dilution Liquid and mix it with the required Lustre Pastes ONE or directly mix the stain powders. Initial Lustre Pastes and Spectrum Stains are compatible products.
On which type of ceramic can the Initial Spectrum Stains be used?
For staining & glazing the Initial Spectrum Stains can be used on:
-
- GC Initial MC, GC Initial Zr-FS, GC Initial LiSi, GC Initial Ti, GC Initial LF, GC LiSi Press, GC Initial PC
- GC Initial Zr Disk
- GC Initial LRF Block
For individualization of layering materials the GC Initial Spectrum Stains can be used on:
-
- GC Initial MS, GC Initial Zr-FS, GC Initial LiSi, GC Initial Ti, GC Initial LF
Layering materials can be individually toned using the Spectrum Stains. When mixed into dentin, enamel, transparent powders it is advised to use small amounts. To assure the right mixing ratie we advise to created a small firing sample.
- When used during build-up on an unfired ceramic small amounts can be added.
- When mixing layering material an stains use the recommended Modelling Liquid not the Initial Spectrum Stain Liquid
- Always consult the firing parameters of the dedicated layering materials.
Can I apply more than one layer of Initial Spectrum Stains?
Yes, you can do further firings, keeping the same firing temperatures.
Does the used consistency (liquid or paste) effect the result?
The used consistency doesn’t affect the result. The two consistencies have been created to make working with the product as convenient as possible.
