Dental Cement Category Overview
The Dental Cement category, identified by the ID 7500, is a specialized segment within the Google product taxonomy located under Business & Industrial > Dentistry > Dental Cement. This category serves as the precise classification for professional clinical materials designed for bonding and luting dental restorations.
This category is intended for dental materials used to secure crowns, bridges, and inlays. Examples from the US market include various resin cements, luting cements, and carboxylate cements. Typical items found here include auto-mixing syringes for adhesive cement, permanent resin cement pastes, and traditional radiopaque powder-liquid systems used by dental professionals for restorative procedures.
Products that do not belong in this category include general instruments and procedural equipment, which should be classified under Dental Tools. Materials specifically used for cleaning or polishing teeth, such as prophy paste, must be mapped to the Prophy Paste category instead. Ensure that your inventory is separated correctly to avoid classification errors within your Google Merchant Center feed.
As this is the most specific level within the taxonomy, there are no subcategories to consider; all applicable cementing agents should be assigned to this ID. When configuring your feed, you may use either the numeric ID 7500 or the full path: Business & Industrial > Dentistry > Dental Cement. While providing this attribute is optional, using the exact ID or path helps Google categorize your items accurately, as automatic classification may be too broad or incorrect for specialized medical supplies. Always remember that the product_type attribute remains a separate, internal classification tool for your store structure.
