3M Ketac Universal Aplicap Glass Ionomer Restorative
A bulk-fill glass ionomer restorative with simple, one-step placement, eliminating the need for conditioning, coating or light-curing steps.
3M Ketac Universal Aplicap Glass Ionomer Restorative is a glass ionomer material designed for simple, one-step placement in restorative procedures, reducing chair time compared with restorative systems that require multiple preparatory or finishing steps. Using bulk-fill application, the material eliminates the need for a separate conditioning step before placement, a bonding or coating step afterward, or a light-curing step to set the material, streamlining the overall restorative procedure considerably.
This simplified workflow lets dentists finish restorative appointments faster while still using a glass ionomer material that offers the fluoride release properties associated with this class of restorative, supporting the health of the surrounding tooth structure over time. The material is dispensed via the Aplicap capsule system, giving a consistent, mechanically activated mix rather than a hand mixed result.
This restorative suits general dental practices that want to reduce the number of clinical steps involved in a routine restorative procedure without moving away from a fluoride-releasing material.
