Voco Meron Luting GIC

Voco Meron Luting GIC is a glass ionomer luting cement meticulously formulated for precision luting in various dental procedures. It is indicated for the permanent luting of crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, pins, posts, and orthodontic bands. This cement is also suitable for attaching temporary work with an eugenol-free cement.

Composed of specially molten fluoro aluminum silicates powder and a liquid, Voco Meron Luting GIC offers strong adhesion to both tooth structure and metal surfaces through chemical bonding. Its biocompatible formulation is gentle on dental pulp and surrounding tissues, featuring low acidity (reaching 3 pH within 10 minutes of mixing) to minimize pulp strain. The cement provides continuous fluoride release, contributing to caries prevention.

Designed for hand mixing, Voco Meron Luting GIC has a recommended powder/liquid ratio of 3.0 : 1 g/g and a mixing time of 30 seconds. It offers a working time of approximately 3 minutes at room temperature and sets within 3 to 5 minutes inside the patient's mouth at 37°C. The cement exhibits a low film thickness of 20 µm, ensuring accurate seating of restorations. Excess material can be easily removed during its rubbery-elastic stage.
