Voco Meron Plus AC Capsule Resin-Reinforced Glass Ionomer Cement

VOCO Meron Plus AC Capsule — Glass Ionomer Cement

Meron Plus AC (Advanced Capsule) is a resin-reinforced glass ionomer luting cement known for high bond strength and ease of application. Capsule form eliminates hand-mixing errors and guarantees ideal consistency every time. Resin reinforcement provides much higher fracture resistance than conventional glass ionomers and excellent adaptation to tooth tissue.

Key Features

• High bond strength to tooth tissue and restoration materials (zirconia, metal, ceramic)
• Excellent marginal adaptation — thin film thickness helps prevent leakage and supports full seating
• Continuous fluoride release — helps minimize secondary caries risk
• Moisture tolerant — superior performance even in slightly moist environments
• Easy cleanup — excess separates easily from gingiva and restoration in the gel phase

Indications

• Cementation of metal-ceramic (PFM) crowns and bridges
• Cementation of zirconia dioxide–based crowns and bridges
• High-strength all-ceramic systems (e.g. lithium disilicate)
• Cementation of metal, ceramic, and fiber posts
• Fixation of orthodontic bands

Technical Details

• Chemically composed of fluorosilicate glass and polyacid derivatives; resin modification minimizes solubility
• Working time: approx. 2 minutes at 23°C
• Setting time: approx. 3–5 minutes in the mouth
• No acid etching required in most cases — can be applied directly without additional etching or bonding

Packaging

• Box: 50 single-use application capsules
• Capsule volume: approx. 0.1 ml usable cement each
• Typically universal shades (mostly A1 or A2 tones)
