Shofu Hy-Bond Glass Ionomer Luting Cement

Shofu Hy-Bond Glass Ionomer Luting Cement is a premium luting cement used in dentistry for the permanent cementation of metal and porcelain fused to metal crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and orthodontic bands. It is a high-strength, dual-cured glass ionomer cement that is easy to handle with a working time of 1 minute and a setting time of 3 minutes.

The cement is radiopaque for easy X-ray detection and fluoride-releasing for additional protection against tooth decay. Designed to bond chemically to tooth structure and metal, it provides a durable, long-lasting seal with excellent adhesion to dentin and enamel.
