He and Alan explore GI's status as a primary restorative, ideal for Class I, III, V restorations, and its forgiving technique, making it perfect for geriatric and pediatric patients. With minimal postoperative sensitivity and a reliable bond, GI proves its worth in core build-ups and crown margin repairs.
