Restlessness, fidgeting… you know the signs. Patients young and old can have a hard time sitting still, and treating them feels like a race against the clock. Now, our latest glass ionomer restorative can help you shave not just precious seconds, but entire steps off your procedure – and get patients out of the chair faster.
The newest addition to our glass ionomer family, 3M™ Ketac™ Universal Aplicap™ Glass Ionomer Restorative is a self-cure, one-step placement material designed to help you finish faster. There’s no need for conditioning, coating or light-curing steps that can slow your procedure down.

Strong enough to use for a variety of indications, including restricted stress-bearing Class I and Class II restorations*, Ketac Universal Aplicap restorative is also versatile, for a wide range of indications and patient populations – paediatric, geriatric, and busy teens in between. Plus, it continuously releases fluoride for 2 years to help protect your patients over time.
