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.
