Description
3M ESPE Ketac Molar ART Glass Ionomer Restorative Cement is a reliable restorative material designed for posterior restorations, core build-ups, pediatric dentistry, and Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) procedures. Combining high flexural strength, excellent wear resistance, and sustained fluoride release, it provides durable restorations while helping protect against secondary caries.
The material chemically bonds to enamel and dentin, supporting conservative cavity preparation without extensive mechanical retention. Its tooth-coloured appearance, radiopacity, and dentin-like elastic modulus make it suitable for a wide range of restorative applications. Ketac Molar ART can be used as a standalone restorative material, a core build-up material, or a base beneath composite and metal restorations, making it a versatile choice for everyday clinical practice.

- Tooth-coloured material provides natural aesthetics.
- Suitable for posterior restorations, pediatric restorations, and ART procedures.
- Can be used beneath composite and metal restorations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Ketac Molar ART is radiopaque, allowing clinicians to clearly identify restorations on radiographs and differentiate the material from surrounding tooth structure during follow-up examinations.
Yes, Ketac Molar ART is a popular choice for kids' restorations, especially on primary teeth. Between the fluoride release and the fact that it's mercury-free, it fits well with what most pediatric cases call for.
Yes, definitely. 3M ESPE Ketac Molar ART was designed specifically for posterior restorations — 3M ESPE built it to handle the demands of back teeth, with good flexural strength and wear resistance that holds up over time, plus the ongoing fluoride release you'd want for long-term success.
Yes, it works well that way too. Using 3M ESPE Ketac Molar ART as a base under a composite gives you the fluoride protection while still letting the composite handle the final restoration.
Not usually. One of the advantages of 3M ESPE Ketac Molar ART is that it chemically bonds directly to both enamel and dentin through an ion-exchange mechanism. This eliminates the need for a separate bonding agent in most clinical situations, simplifies the placement procedure, and supports a more conservative restorative approach.
Ketac Molar ART releases fluoride continuously. That steady release helps guard both the restored tooth and the surrounding structure against secondary caries down the line.
Ketac Molar ART is indicated for posterior restorations, atraumatic restorative treatment (ART), primary teeth restorations, cervical lesions, core build-ups, and as a base or liner beneath composite restorations.
