Brulon Epitome Tricem X1 Luting GIC

Brulon Epitome Tricem X1 is a conventional, self-curing glass ionomer luting cement, formulated for the final cementation of various dental restorations. It is indicated for the cementation of metal or porcelain fused to metal inlays, onlays, and crowns, as well as stainless steel crowns, posts, screws, and metal orthodontic bands. This material also serves effectively as a lining under restorations.

This luting cement chemically bonds to both metal substrates and tooth structure, providing a strong and reliable seal. It has been refined to offer enhanced physical properties, including high compressive and tensile strengths, ensuring durable cementation. The cement features a low film thickness for accurate seating of restorations, provides a superior marginal seal to reduce microleakage, and is radiopaque for clear visibility on radiographs. Additionally, it offers sustained fluoride release for added clinical benefits.
