3M Ketac Universal Powder Refill Restorative GIC – A2

Ketac Universal restorative is a radio-opaque glass-ionomer cement, with higher compressive strength and surface hardness than most of the restorative materials. It has a 4-step process and does not require a coating or conditioning prior to placement of cement. The special filler composition in combination with the co-polymeric acid used and the accelerated setting performance lead 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.
