Simplify glass ionomer restorations with 3M Ketac Universal Aplicap

The same reliable solution, now at a lower price.

As a dentist, you know that choosing the right restorative material is essential for achieving optimal patient outcomes. With so many options available, it can be challenging to determine which material is best suited for each case. Glass ionomer solutions are a popular choice in modern dentistry, and for a good reason. They offer several unique advantages over other restorative materials, such as high fluoride release and biocompatibility.

When it comes to glass ionomer solutions, 3M™'s Ketac™ Universal Aplicap™ stands out. This versatile material can be used for a wide range of applications, including as a liner or base, and for cementing metal and ceramic restorations. With its recent repositioning at a lower price point, it's more accessible than ever!

In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at the benefits of glass ionomer solutions and see why Ketac Universal Aplicap is a great choice for your next dental restoration.

Why choose glass ionomer solutions for your dental restorations?

Glass ionomer solutions are versatile restorative materials that are particularly useful in situations where a strong bond to tooth structure is required, such as for filling small to moderate-sized cavities or restoring eroded or damaged teeth. Glass ionomer solutions can also be used as a liner or base under other restorative materials to help protect the tooth and reduce the risk of postoperative sensitivity.

One significant advantage of glass ionomer solutions is the ability to release fluoride. This can help prevent further decay and promote the remineralisation of tooth structure, making it an excellent choice for patients with a high risk of caries or those who require restorations in areas with reduced salivary flow, such as the posterior teeth. Glass ionomer solutions are also biocompatible, meaning they are well-tolerated by the surrounding tissues and have a low risk of postoperative sensitivity.

Glass ionomer solutions also offer a simple application process that requires minimal preparation and no bonding agent, making them a more straightforward and efficient solution for many dental applications.

Ketac Universal Aplicap: a simplified solution for faster restorations

One of the biggest advantages of 3M's Ketac Universal Aplicap is its ease of use. Unlike some other restorative materials, Ketac Universal Aplicap has a simple, straightforward mixing process that requires no additional steps. Ketac Universal also utilises a new nozzle design, which makes it easier to gain deep access into cavities. Both of these features can save valuable time during the procedure and helps to ensure consistent, predictable results.

With its single-use capsule system, Ketac Universal Aplicap eliminates the need for pre-measuring or mixing, reducing the risk of errors and waste. The material has a short setting time, which helps to minimise the time that the patient spends in the chair. Additionally, Ketac Universal has excellent handling properties, which makes it easy to shape and sculpt, resulting in a precise and aesthetic restoration.
