3M Ketac Molar Restorative GIC is a conventional glass ionomer restorative material designed for durable dental restorations. This self-curing cement is indicated for a range of applications, including single-surface fillings in posterior areas, core build-ups, and primary teeth fillings. It also serves effectively as a base material for single- and multiple-surface composite fillings, and for cervical fillings in the posterior region where aesthetics are not the primary concern.

The material is prepared through a hand-mix protocol, combining powder and liquid components. It offers a working time of 2 minutes from the start of the mix, allowing for adequate manipulation and placement. The setting time is approximately 4 minutes and 30 seconds, facilitating efficient completion of restorative procedures.

Ketac Molar Restorative GIC adheres firmly to both enamel and dentin, and provides long-term fluoride release, which aids in preventing secondary caries. Its radiopaque nature ensures easy identification in X-rays, supporting accurate post-operative assessment. The material exhibits good compressive strength and flexural strength, contributing to its robust mechanical performance.
