What is Fuji cement for?
GC Fuji PLUS is a resin-reinforced, glass ionomer luting cement designed for final cementation of metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, metal-free crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays. It bonds chemically and mechanically to tooth structure and all types of core material.
Is Fuji cement dual cure?
Our focus is on low technique sensitivity and a simple application, with self-adhesive cements that do not require separate bonding steps….
| Dual Cure Adhesive Resin Cement | Self-Adhesive Luting Cement in Capsules |
| GC Fuji ORTHO™ | GC Fuji ORTHO™ BAND |
| Self-Cured Orthodontic Cement | Glass Ionomer Band Cement |
What are the disadvantages of glass ionomer cement?
The main limitation of the glass ionomer cements is their relative lack of strength and low resistance to abrasion and wear. Conventional glass ionomer cements have low flexural strength but high modulus of elasticity, and are therefore very brittle and prone to bulk fracture.
Can you cement Emax with Fuji Plus?
It depends on the preparation style and the clinical situation. If the preparation has adequate occlusal reduction and has good mechanical resistance/retention forms, I have no problem with “cementing” with a RMGI (resin modified glass ionomer.) I have used Fuji Plus for a long time.
What is a Fuji filling?
GC Fuji Filling LC is a resin-modified glass ionomer restorative material indicated for Class III and V restorations, restoration of primary teeth, and as a base under posterior composite restorations. The material releases fluoride, is radiopaque, and light cures in 20 seconds.
Is glass ionomer a permanent cement?
Glass ionomer cements are high strength bases used primarily for permanent cement, as a base, and as a Class V filling material. They are supplied as a powder and a liquid, or as a powder that is mixed with water. The liquid is typically polyacrylic acid.
What are the advantages of glass ionomer cement?
Glass ionomer advantages
- Requires minimal removal of healthy tooth structure.
- Decent match to tooth colour, especially in the case of resin-modified glass ionomer cements.
- Ease of placement.
- Versatility of use.
- Bonds exceptionally well to tooth surface without the need for a bonding agent.
- Hardens immediately by light curing.
How strong is glass ionomer cement?
Glass Ionomer Cements
| Compressive Strength | Not Available | 110(9) MPa |
| Tensile Bond Strength | 11.2 – 15.0 MPa | 8(3) MPa |
| Dual/Self Cure | Dual Cure | Self |
| Resin Modified | Yes | Yes |

Can Emax be cemented?
Anterior & Posterior Full Coverage: Restorations with retention form and resistance form can be either bonded or cemented.
How strong is Emax?
Its unique formulation provides an average flexural strength of 500 MPa, making it the ideal high-strength solution for single-unit anterior and posterior crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, screw-retained implant crowns, three-unit anterior bridges, or restorations with minimum preparation dimensions.
