3M ESPE Ketac Cem is a powder/liquid glass ionomer luting cement designed for permanent cementation of a wide range of dental restorations. Known for its strong adhesion to both enamel and dentin, Ketac Cem offers reliable performance in restorative and prosthodontic procedures.
This cement is indicated for luting crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, posts, screws, and orthodontic bands. It is compatible with metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), all-alumina, and zirconia-based restorations. Ketac Cem also serves as a cavity liner, providing versatility across clinical applications.
Key clinical benefits include high fluoride release for enamel remineralization, excellent biocompatibility, and strong marginal sealing to reduce the risk of microleakage. Its low film thickness ensures accurate seating and fit of restorations, while high radiopacity supports easy postoperative assessment.
With a simple mixing process and dependable working/setting times, Ketac Cem offers ease of use and predictable results.
