EsCem® RMGI | Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Luting Cement

Where this fits in the sequence: EsCem® RMGI is typically selected during the luting or base placement stage of restorative procedures, after tooth preparation and before final seating or restoration completion.

Why clinicians choose EsCem® RMGI

• Selected when chemical adhesion to tooth structure is preferred without complex bonding protocols.
• Commonly chosen for cases where fluoride release supports long-term restorative health.
• Preferred when a balance of working time and set control improves seating accuracy.

In-use behavior

In use, EsCem® RMGI exhibits smooth handling and controlled viscosity, allowing restorations to seat fully without excessive hydraulic pressure. The material adapts well to prepared surfaces and transitions predictably through its working and setting phases.

Clinical context

This cement is often incorporated into workflows where clinicians want a reliable, forgiving luting option for crowns, inlays, onlays, or as a base material—especially in situations where moisture control may be less than ideal.
