Which cement you choose is important
There are currently five types of permanent
luting cement dentists regularly use in their daily practice
Products differ as to indications, performance, safety, protective ability, application
technique, and cost. No single cement is ideal for every clinical situation.
The type of cement used can affect long-term outcome. It must be the right
one for the clinical circumstance and the type and material of the restoration to be
luted. It can also impact on practice profitability, particularly if used routinely, since
luting cements differ in ease of use, time to use and accessories required
eg. bonding agents.
GC Fuji CEM
Preparation of teeth
For pulp-capping use calcium
hydroxide.
Resin-modified Glass Ionomer Luting Cement
CLINICAL TECHNIQUE – Luting of a short span PFM bridge
Cleaning
Clean with water and
optionally apply
GC Fuji PLUS
CONDITIONER for 20
seconds.
Washing and drying
Dry by blotting or gently
blowing with an air syringe.
Do not desiccate the surface
and do not remove the
smear layer as this will affect
the adhesion. Best results are
obtained when the surface
appears moist. Clean and dry
inside of the bridge.
Loading the cartridge
Load cartridge into the Paste
Pak Dispenser.
Dispensing
Depress lever to dispense
the required amounts of
pastes onto the mixing pad.
Cut off required amount
Mixing
Spread material out in a thin
layer on the mixing pad using
a plastic spatula. Mix with
lapping strokes, for 10
seconds. For larger amounts
(2/4 crowns) mix for 15
seconds. The working time is
3 minutes from the start of
mixing at 23°C (73.4°F).
Higher temperatures will
shorten working time.
Application
Do not overfill and seat the
restoration within 30 seconds
of completing mixing.
For inlays and onlays, apply
only a thin layer of cement
to the bonding surface. For
porcelain inlays, pre-treat
bonding surfaces with saline
according to the
manufacturer’s instructions
(eg. GC Ceramic Primer).
Seating
Seat the restoration within 30
seconds of completing the
mixing.
Removal of excess
Remove excess cement 1
minute 30 seconds after
seating the restoration.
Protection
After finishing apply
Fuji Coat LC or Fuji Varnish to
protect the GIC during the
first 24 hours.
GC Fuji PLUS
Resin-modified Glass Ionomer Luting Cement
CLINICAL TECHNIQUE – Luting of a ceramic inlay
Preparation of tooth
For pulp-capping use calcium
hydroxide.
Cleaning
Clean with water and apply
GC Fuji PLUS
CONDITIONER for 20
seconds.
Washing and drying
Dry by blotting or gently
blowing with an air syringe.
Do not desiccate the surface
and do not remove the
smear layer as this will affect
the adhesion. Best results are
obtained when the surface
appears moist. Clean and dry
inside of restoration. For
porcelain inlays and onlays,
pre-treat bonding surfaces
with saline according to
manufacturer’s (eg. GC
Ceramic Primer) instructions
POWDER and LIQUID
Dispensing
Dispense 1 drop of liquid to 1
level small scoop of powder
to achieve the standard
powder to liquid ratio of
2.0g/1.0g. For bigger
restorations 3 drops of liquid
to 1 level large scoop of
powder should be used. To
vary working and setting times
vary ratio of powder to liquid.
Mixing
Add all the powder to the
liquid and mix rapidly for 20
seconds. For larger amounts
e.g. bridge, divide powder
into 2 equal parts. Mix the
first portion with all of the
liquid for 15 seconds.
Incorporate the remaining
portion and mix the whole
thoroughly for 15-25 seconds
(total 30-40 seconds). For
more complex procedures
requiring longer working time,
it is recommended to mix
powder and liquid on a cold
mixing slab and/or use
GC Fuji PLUS
EWT .
Application
Apply the mixed cement with
the spatula to both restoration
and prepared tooth.
CAPSULE
Activation
Tap the side of the capsule
on a hard surface to loosen
the powder.
Press the plunger in on a
hard surface.
Mixing
Set into mixer and mix for 10
seconds (+/- 4.000 RPM).
Application
Place the capsule in the
capsule applier and apply the
mixed cement to both
restoration and prepared
tooth.
Seating
Seat the restoration within 30
seconds of completing mixing.
Removal of excess
Remove excess cement at
the first formation of gel
stage. Total setting time is 4
minutes 30 seconds after
start of mixing.
Protection
After finishing apply
Fuji Coat LC or Fuji Varnish to
protect the GIC during the
first 24 hours.
