3M Ketac-Cem Radiopaque Permanent Glass Ionomer Luting Cement

3M™ Ketac™-Cem Radiopaque Permanent Glass Ionomer Luting Cement in the unique 3M™ Aplicap™/Maxicap™ Capsule Delivery System offers fluoride release while its extremely low film thickness optimizes fit and marginal integrity.

Ketac-Cem Cement adheres to both tooth structure and metal oxides with no conditioning for an easier technique than hybrid cements. Outstanding adhesion to dentin has been demonstrated compared to currently available compomer and composite luting cements. Ketac-Cem releases fluoride ions that can be absorbed by adjacent tooth structure. With a tooth-like coefficient of thermal expansion, Ketac-Cem helps prevent marginal leakage caused by thermal influences. Ketac-Cem combines a long working time to facilitate placement with a rapid setting time, to reduce the risk of contamination by fluids. The easy clean-up also helps to speed up the procedure. Ketac-Cem exhibits high compressive and flexural strength to stand firm under pressure. The unique 3M™ Aplicap™/Maxicap™ capsulized delivery system provides simplified and reliable handling and a consistent powder-to-liquid ratio. The fast, efficient and economical 3M™ Aplicap™/Maxicap™ system reduces waste and saves time by eliminating hand-mixing.
