The world s first nano-ionomer and a breakthrough in direct restoratives. Ketac N1 Light-Curing Nano-Ionomer Restorative
Ketac N1 The first paste/paste RMGI restorative based on bonded nanofiller technology Faster, easier mixing due to paste/paste delivery Esthetic glass ionomer restorative High fluoride release Improved wear resistance Faster, easier dispensing with our award-winning Clicker Dispenser Disposable Clicker dispenser requires no additional hardware Light cure on demand A nano-ionomer is an esthetic, fluoridereleasing restorative solution. Dentists have been asking for a better-looking glass ionomer product. Who better to meet the challenge than 3M ESPE. Our long history of providing glass ionomer technology to the dental profession has resulted in a full line of product solutions, including Ketac Molar, Ketac Fil Plus, Photac Fil Quick and Vitremer Restoratives. Now, we ve leveraged our expertise in nanotechnology to take glass ionomers to the next level. This technology brings you wear resistance, esthetics and polish all while offering fluoride release similar to conventional and resin-modified glass ionomer restoratives. The result is the world s first nano-ionomer Ketac N1 Light-Curing Nano-Ionomer Restorative.
Suit your esthetic needs for beautiful glass ionomer restorations with Ketac N1 Light-Curing Nano-Ionomer Restorative. For patient situations where both fluoride release and esthetics are important, you can feel confident using Ketac N1 restorative. In a clinical evaluation, over 6% of the dentists who used Ketac N1 in their practice rated the final overall esthetics the same or better than their current composite restorative material.* Excellent esthetics: Inspired by the success of Filtek Supreme XT Universal Restorative, shades of Ketac N1 restorative were developed to match the shade targets of Filtek Supreme XT restorative. Superb polish: In-vitro testing results show Ketac N1 restorative has higher initial polish than other glass ionomer materials. AFMs prove Ketac N1 restorative surfaces remain smooth. High initial gloss and a smooth surface contribute to improved esthetics of restorations and impact patient comfort and satisfaction with their clinical work. The study below uses images taken under an Atomic Force Microscope (AFMs) to prove the smooth surface of Ketac N1 restorative and a composite material after being polished with a diamond-impregnated polishing system whereas the surfaces of two competitive resin-modified glass ionomers showed surface imperfections. These AFMs, taken under the Atomic Force Microscope at 3M Central Research Analytical Laboratories, compare surface roughness after polishing.* The color bar topographically distinguishes between the high peaks and lower valleys. 4 35 Surface roughness 8. 7.

Results illustrate improved esthetics and reduced surface roughness.*
Nanotechnology is the difference. Ketac N1 Light-Curing Nano-Ionomer Restorative is the first paste/paste, resin-modified glass ionomer material developed with nanotechnology. Because it adds benefits not usually associated with glass ionomers, it has resulted in a whole NEW category of glass ionomer restorative: the nano-ionomer. The technology of Ketac N1 restorative represents a blend of fluoraluminosilicate (FAS) technology and nanotechnology originally developed for Filtek Supreme Universal Restorative. This combination offers unique characteristics of wear and polish. Filler particle size can influence strength, optical properties and abrasion resistance. By using nano-sized fillers and nanoclusters, along with FAS glass, Ketac N1 restorative provides enhanced esthetics as well as the benefits of glass ionomer chemistry, such as fluoride release.

Ketac N1 restorative shows high fluoride release that is rechargeable after being exposed to a topical fluoride source. Additionally, in-vitro tests showed Ketac N1 restorative s ability to create a caries inhibition zone after acid exposure.

Ketac N1 restorative performs well with high wear resistance. Restorations made with Ketac N1 Light-Curing Nano-Ionomer Restorative not only look great, but they have proven to perform well in abrasive environments, too. When tested against competitive resin-modified glass ionomers, Ketac N1 restorative shows a higher wear resistance, making them an ideal glass ionomer solution in posterior applications. 6 Improved 3-body wear test compares leading RMGIs 53 Wear depth (micron) 5 4 3 2 1 7 25 33 Improved wear resistance 21 Tetric EvoCeram Vitremer Fuji II Fuji Filling Ketac N1 Total wear depth (8 cyc) vs. sample Ref: cycle Source: 3M ESPE internal data Dentists agree our paste/paste formula in our Clicker Dispenser is faster and easier to use. In addition to esthetics, ease-of-use is a high priority for the dental practice. We put Ketac N1 paste/paste formula in our award-winning Clicker dispenser to make it faster and easier to dispense and mix the perfect dose every time and with less mess. Each Clicker dispenser contains 4 applications. 3M ESPE is the name to trust for products that make it easier to achieve excellent clinical results.
