Description 

G-CEM ONE is a universal resin cement that can be utilized for all cementation procedures.

• Indicated for cementation of all types of ceramics, resin and metal-based inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns and bridges. Also indicated for cementation of fiber posts and cast post and cores.
• Excellent bond strength to enamel and dentin and to all indirect restorative substrates.
• Option of Adhesive Enhancing Primer (AEP) for the GC Touch Cure to enhance the bond strength in challenging situations.  Also helps by increasing moisture and saliva tolerance.
• Exceptional self-curing to assist when using thick or opaque restorations.
• Available in 4 shades:  A2, Translucent, AO3, and BO1 (White Opaque)

Clinical Evaluation Protocol 

A total of 153 restorations were reviewed multiple times over 12 months. Items that were directly reviewed were the location of the restorations, the substrate being bonded to, the usage of a light-cured or self-cured bonding adhesive, the level of initial and sustained esthetics, potential debonding, and appearance of marginal discoloration.

Clinical Observations 

• The use of the Adhesive Enhancing Primer (AEP) was easy to use and appears to work well in difficult situations. The self-curing AEP procedures were 100% successful, while the procedures involving G-Premio BOND^™ were 98% successful.
• An esthetic success rate of 91% and maintenance of that ideal esthetics at 95% after 1 year is fantastic. High confidence can be expressed when using these materials in any area of the mouth and with any restorative substrate.

Evaluators’ Comments

• “Truly universal for all dental restorations, posts, especially considering the increased bond strength with the Adhesive Enhancing Primer.”
• “Very easy to use cement, sets predictably, and the excess cleans off easily.”
• “Excellent for short clinical crown height preparations.”
• “It was a relief and joy to use this cement to seat thin lithium disilicate crowns because it was easy to create a perfect shade match that would not color shift after curing.”

Dental Advisor Research Reports

Bond Strength Testing of a Universal Cement System to Teeth 

G-CEM ONE had a stronger adhesion to dentin and enamel when using the Adhesive Enhancing Primer (AEP) than when using G-Premio BOND in a self-etch protocol.  There was also no significant reduction in the adhesive properties after artificial aging.

Bond Strength Testing of G-CEM ONE 

G-CEM ONE performed as well, or better, than competitive materials that were tested in the self-adhesive protocols.  When the Adhesive Enhancing Primer (AEP) was used, the bond strength to both enamel and dentin maintained the highest shear bond strength.  This was also true when bonding to lithium disilicate and zirconia.
