3M Ketac Cem Radiopaque Luting Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) is a dental material engineered for reliable, permanent cementation across a range of restorative and prosthodontic applications. This luting cement provides excellent adhesion and radiopacity for clear visibility under dental radiographs, aiding in precise placement and assessment of restorations.

Formulated as a glass ionomer cement, 3M Ketac Cem is composed of a blend of glass powders and polyacrylic acid, resulting in a durable and biocompatible material. It features a self-cure activation mechanism, allowing for ample working time and achieving a strong, reliable bond without light activation. The cement is delivered as a powder and liquid system, designed for hand mixing on a pad or glass slab.

The cement offers a working time of 3 minutes 30 seconds, including mixing, and a setting time of 7 minutes from the start of the mix. Its low film thickness optimizes the fit and marginal integrity of restorations, while its inherent fluoride release contributes to protection against caries.
