How long does it take to mix Relyx cement?
The working time of the mixed cement is 2.5 minutes. The resulting mix has a mousse-like consistency, which is easily loaded into the restoration and allows for easy seating of the restoration. The excess cement is then easily cleaned-up after 2-3 minutes in the mouth. The RelyX Luting cement quickly gained in popularity of use for its ease of use, handling and clean-up properties, and low incidence of post-operative sensitivity. It has been a market leader for many years.
What are the physical properties of cement?
In order to achieve proper performance, the cements must provide for a variety of physical properties with respect to adhesion, strength, film thickness, work time, set time and radiopacity.
What cement is used for crown restoration?
Clinicians have many options for luting routine crown and bridge restorations. They range from zinc phosphates, polycarboxylates, conventional glass ionomers, resin-modified glass ionomers, compomers and resin cements. In the North American markets, the conventional and resin-modified glass ionomer luting cements have become the most frequently used for routine crown and bridge restorations. Resin cements have been used for special situations where added retention is required, however they traditionally required multiple steps and have been technique sensitive. However, with the introduction of the unique RelyX™ Unicem Self-Adhesive Universal Resin Cement from 3M ESPE, clinicians now have an easy to use resin cement that offers low potential for sensitivity and is gaining in popularity for these types of restorations.
Can cement be used as a base for indirect restoration?
In addition to bonding to tooth structure, the cements must also be able to bond to various types of core build-up materials that may be used as a base under indirect restorations. The common types of build-up materials include amalgam, glass ionomer, and composite resins. In this test, the cements were tested for adhesion in a similar manner to that described above for the dentin and enamel.
Can cement bond to restorative substrates?
In addition to bonding to the tooth structure and the core build-up substrates, the cements must also be able to bond to the various restorative substrates, for which they are indicated.
