Radiopaque Glass Ionomer Luting Cement in Capsule
This chemically cured, strontium-based glass ionomer cement is designed for the basic luting of metal-based restorations, delivered in a convenient capsule format.
COMPOSITION
- Polybasic carboxylic acid: 10-20%
INDICATIONS
- Cementation of metal-based inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges, and posts.
- Cementation of high-strength, zirconia-based all-ceramic crowns and bridges.
Features
Bonds in a Wet Field
This cement does not require a primer or adhesive, simplifying the cementation process. It can bond effectively in a wet field, ensuring ease of use during procedures.
Sustained Fluoride Release
The cement offers continuous fluoride release, providing cariostatic activity to protect the tooth from decay over time.
Smooth, Creamy Consistency
The cement is easy to mix and handle, creating a smooth, creamy consistency for better application and comfort.
Low Film Thickness
With a low film thickness, the cement ensures better seating of restorations, minimizing potential issues during placement.
Strong Direct Bond
It creates a strong bond between both non-precious and precious metals and the tooth structure, ensuring reliable adhesion.
Superior Marginal Seal
The cement delivers a superior marginal seal, reducing microleakage and enhancing the longevity of restorations.
Thermal Expansion and Solubility
Its coefficient of thermal expansion is similar to that of tooth structure, reducing stress on the margins. The cement also has low solubility after setting (0.06%), which reduces microleakage, washouts, and sensitivity.
Faster “Snap Set” with Longer Working Time
The cement has a faster “snap set” feature, offering ample working time for application and adjustments.
Strong Bonding and Durability
The cement boasts strong bonding, compressive, and tensile strengths, leading to greater longevity and enhanced restoration integrity.

Directions To Use
1. Tooth Preparation
- Prepare the tooth using the standard technique. If pulp capping is needed, apply calcium hydroxide.
- Clean the prepared tooth with pumice and water.
- Rinse thoroughly with water and remove excess moisture by blotting with a cotton pellet or gently drying with an oil-free air syringe. DO NOT DESICCATE. The prepared surfaces should remain moist and glistening.
2. Restoration Preparation
- Ensure that the restoration is properly pretreated and handled as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Capsule Activation and Mixing
- Shake the capsule or tap it lightly on a hard surface to loosen the powder before activation.
- To activate the capsule, push the plunger until it is flush with the main body.
- Place the activated capsule immediately into the GC Capsule Applier and click the lever once to activate it.
Note: The capsule should be activated just before mixing and used right away.
- After activation, remove the capsule and place it into a mixer (or amalgamator) for 10 seconds at about 4,000 RPM.
Note: When using a rotational mixing device, avoid using the centrifuge option.
4. Dispensing
- After mixing, remove the capsule from the mixer and load it into the GC Capsule Applier.
- Prime the capsule by clicking it twice.
- To adjust the nozzle direction, hold the applier with the capsule facing you and rotate the capsule body.
- Extrude the cement directly into the restoration.
- To remove the used capsule, press the applier release button, twist the capsule, and pull upwards.
5. Cementation
- Coat the internal surface of the restoration with sufficient cement and seat it immediately. The working time is 2 minutes and 15 seconds from the start of mixing at 23°C (73.4°F); higher temperatures will shorten the working time.
- Apply moderate pressure while seating the restoration.
- Start removing excess cement once it becomes rubbery.
- Final finishing can begin 4 minutes and 30 seconds after seating the restoration.
