Introducing G-Cem™: A new generation self-adhesive resin cement

G-Cem™
Setting a new standard in self-adhesive
Now Available in Automix Delivery  – 
The First Self-Adhesive Resin Cement
to Offer Automix Simplicity Without Compromising Performance.

From GC America, the world’s leading dental cement company, comes the latest innovation in universal resin luting cement: G-Cem™.  Easy to use, with a fast, one-step application process. Reliably strong, with a high bond strength to enamel,dentin and the restoration.

G-Cem’s™ advanced formulation offers:

  • Available in either capsule or automix delivery
    • Capsules –  Ideal for single unit crowns
    • Automix Syringes –  Ideal for multi-unit restorations
  • Unparalleled ease of use – self-adhesive, one-step application with easy clean-up
  • HighHigh bond strength – superior bond strength to enamel, dentin and the restoration
  • No risk of post-op sensitivity - unique hydrophilic chemistry provides a strong seal and exceptional patient comforti> Dual-cure chemistry – provides good adhesion... will stay in place permanently
  • Less technique sensitivity than other resin cements - moist or dry, G-Cem™ does it all
  • High esthetic quality – better color stability and resistance to external stains than RelyX™, Unicem and Maxcem™*
  • Maximum fluoride release – the highest fluoride release of any self-adhesive resin cement*

G-Cem™ For every crown, every time
G-Cem’s™ easy-to-use, versatile formula makes it the ideal choice for a wide range of dental restorations, including:  

  • Metal and porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays
  • All-ceramic and composite crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays (compatible with CEREC®, Empress®, e.max®, Procera®, Cercon® and other systems) •
  • Prefabricated metal, fiberglass and ceramic endodontic posts

Hydrophilicity mean no post-op sensitivity and outstanding patient comfort.

G-Cem™ combines the proven technologies of 7th-generation resin adhesives with the exceptional properties of hydrophilic, biocompatible resin-modified glass ionomer cements. It’s the first resin cement to contain water and functional monomers (4-MET and Phosphoric ester) for self-adhesive properties, rather than polyalkenoate acid. As a result, G-Cem's™ hydrophilicity causes effective penetration into the dentinal tubules (as shown in the SEM below). After penetration, G-Cem™ sets tightly and becomes hydrophobic.

The result: unlike most other resin cements, G-Cem™ forms a strong chemical bond, sealing and protecting the tooth from external stimuli and eliminating the risk of post-op sensitivity—whether the tooth prep is moist or dry.

G-CEM™ has been developed to work in real world environments. Bench top testing is one issue, but this does not always translate well into effective clinical ”real world” use. Do you like a cup of coffee with that pie-ala-mode? This is thermocycling. Hot and cold. Expansion and contraction. G-CEM has been designed so that it’s bond strengths are not only maintained after thermocycling, but actually improve.

 

 

Why is G-Cem™ the superior choice in universal resin luting cements?
Compare G-Cem,™ with its easy, one-step system and unique physical properties, to other
popular resin cements. By almost any measure, G-Cem™ is clearly better on one line.

Testimonials

"G-CEM may well be the best combination of versatility and ease of use ever in a crown and bridge cement."
- Dr. Edmond R. Hewlett, Associate Professor and Vice Chair, UCLA School of Dentistry
