The 3M Ketac Universal Powder Refill Restorative GIC – A2 is a high-performance glass ionomer cement (GIC) designed specifically for dental professionals who demand precision, reliability, and versatility in restorative procedures. This advanced material combines the proven benefits of traditional glass ionomer technology with enhanced properties for superior clinical performance. The product is optimized for ease of use and adaptability, making it an excellent choice for various restorative applications, including cavity linings, base or core build-ups, and restorative procedures in pediatric dentistry.<\/p>\n
Enhanced Adhesion and Fluoride Release:<\/strong><\/br>The 3M Ketac Universal GIC demonstrates superior adhesion to both enamel and dentin, ensuring robust and long-lasting restorations. The product\u2019s high fluoride release provides a continuous protective effect against secondary caries, contributing to the longevity and health of the restoration.<\/p>\n Improved Handling and Consistency:<\/strong><\/br>Formulated for optimal handling, the Ketac Universal Powder Refill offers a creamy, non-sticky consistency that allows for precise application and sculpting. This feature is particularly beneficial in clinical settings where efficiency and accuracy are paramount. The material’s working time is balanced to provide sufficient manipulation without premature setting, facilitating smoother procedures.<\/p>\n Excellent Radiopacity:<\/strong><\/br>The A2 shade of Ketac Universal GIC is designed to offer excellent radiopacity, which enhances diagnostic accuracy in post-operative assessments. This characteristic enables clear differentiation between the restorative material and the natural tooth structure on radiographs, aiding in the monitoring and evaluation of the treatment outcome.<\/p>\n High Compressive Strength:<\/strong><\/br>With a compressive strength exceeding 150 MPa, the Ketac Universal GIC ensures durability and resistance to masticatory forces, reducing the risk of fracture or wear over time. This property makes it suitable for use in stress-bearing areas of the oral cavity, providing reliable performance under various clinical conditions.<\/p>\n Biocompatibility and Patient Comfort:<\/strong><\/br>The biocompatible nature of the 3M Ketac Universal GIC minimizes the risk of adverse reactions, ensuring patient safety and comfort. Its ability to form a chemical bond with tooth structure reduces the need for additional adhesives, simplifying the procedure and minimizing potential sources of irritation.<\/p>\n Versatility in Clinical Applications:<\/strong><\/br>The Ketac Universal GIC is suitable for a wide range of applications, including as a liner, base, core build-up material, and for Class I, II, and V restorations. Its versatility makes it an indispensable material in the dental practice, allowing practitioners to address various clinical scenarios with a single, reliable product.<\/p>\n Indication-<\/strong><\/p>\n Ketac<\/span> Universal restorative is a radio-opaque <\/span>glass-ionomer <\/span>cement, with higher compressive strength and surface hardness than most of the <\/span>restorative materials.<\/span> It has a 4-step <\/span>process and<\/span> does not require <\/span>a coating or conditioning prior to placement of cement.<\/span> The special filler composition in combination with the co-polymeric acid used and the accelerated setting performance <\/span>lead<\/span> to high compressive and flexural strength. In addition, the material exhibits high surface hardness values even in early maturation stages (within 10 minutes after the start of setting), thus surface hardness is high regardless of using a coating or not.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[9216,9219,9218,9217],"product_cat":[9146],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-43961","product","type-product","status-publish","product_brand-http-storemedica-com-wp-content-uploads-2026-08-prod_3m-ketac-universal-powder-refill-restorative-gic-a2-01_06_2026-b37fc6a7-jpg","product_brand-http-storemedica-com-wp-content-uploads-2026-08-prod_3m-ketac-universal-powder-refill-restorative-gic-a2-05_06_2026-5ab78076-jpg","product_brand-http-storemedica-com-wp-content-uploads-2026-08-prod_3m-ketac-universal-powder-refill-restorative-gic-a2-05_06_2026-9837781f-jpg","product_brand-http-storemedica-com-wp-content-uploads-2026-08-prod_3m-ketac-universal-powder-refill-restorative-gic-a2-05_06_2026-9881d85b-jpg","product_cat-restorative-glass-ionomer-cements-dental","first","outofstock","sale","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/storemedica.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product\/43961","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/storemedica.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/storemedica.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storemedica.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=43961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/storemedica.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=43961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storemedica.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_brand&post=43961"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storemedica.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_cat&post=43961"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/storemedica.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=43961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
