Fewer Steps to Keep your Day on Track with 3M™ Ketac™ Universal Aplicap™ Glass Ionomer Restorative
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Dentists know that many times caries-prone patients can be the most restless, so speed is important when treating them. Whether working with children, teens or geriatric patients, dentists need effective restorative options that can be placed quickly. Now, new 3M™ Ketac™ Universal Aplicap™ Glass Ionomer Restorative gives dentists a solution with fewer steps, easy handling and reduced chair time, so they can get patients on their way fast with a fluoride-releasing restoration that is strong enough for long-term use.
Ketac Universal Aplicap restorative is self-adhesive and self-curing, so it eliminates the need for conditioning, coating or light-curing steps, enabling an efficient procedure—just place, sculpt, and you’re done. The material’s low stickiness adds to its easy handling, and it can now be used for restricted stress-bearing Class I and II restorations1, thanks to its compressive strength and surface hardness. It can also be placed in bulk, eliminating the need for layering, and giving dentists an economical option for a general bulk restorative material.
The restorative is available in an Aplicap™ delivery system with a new nozzle design that gives dentists better access to deep cavities. It is available in six shades.
With its timesaving capabilities and easy product handling, Ketac Universal Aplicap Glass Ionomer Restorative gives dentists a fluoride-releasing solution for pediatric patients, geriatric patients, and everyone in between.
