6.5 Radiopacity
literature has reported that at 1 mm, dentin and enamel have radiopacities of 1.5 mm al and 2.25
mm Al, respectively (Attar et al, 2003; ADA, 2006).

G-ænial Anterior offers a
clinically relevant radiopacity,
without compromising on
highly aesthetic results.
Being more radiopaque,
G-ænial Posterior fulfils the
requirements for posterior
restorations. this is possible
through the use of lanthanoid,
strontium and fluoroalumino-
silicate particles.
the working time was evaluated
according to iSO4049:2000.
Based on this test, the working
time of G-ænial Posterior is
similar to the other tested
composites.
G-ænial Anterior demonstra-
ted a longer working time of
about 4 minutes in total, which
is favourable when creating
multi-layer aesthetic resto-
rations.
