Self Curing Resine based dental luting material with Light Curing option.
Resin Cement is a type of dental adhesive used to bond various dental restorations, like crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays, and orthodontic brackets, to natural teeth. Made from composite resin, it provides strong, durable, and aesthetic bonding suitable for many restorative procedures.
Types of Resin Cement:
1. Light-Cure Resin Cement: Cured or hardened using a light-curing unit, suitable for thinner restorations like veneers where the curing light can easily penetrate.
2. Dual-Cure Resin Cement: Can be cured both by light and self-curing chemical reactions. Ideal for thicker restorations, like crowns and inlays, where the curing light might not fully penetrate.
3. Self-Cure Resin Cement: Relies solely on a chemical reaction to set, used where light curing is not feasible.
Key Properties and Benefits:
High Bond Strength: Provides excellent adhesion to tooth structure and restoration materials.
Aesthetic: Available in multiple shades to match natural tooth color, especially useful in anterior (front) restorations.
Durability: Offers high wear resistance, which contributes to the long-lasting nature of the restoration.
Low Solubility: Unlike some other cements, resin cement does not dissolve easily in saliva, reducing the risk of microleakage and decay around the restoration.
Common Uses:
Permanent Cementation of Crowns and Bridges: Especially effective for ceramic and zirconia restorations.
Bonding Veneers: Light-cure resin cement is often preferred for its aesthetic properties.
Orthodontic Brackets: Provides a strong hold for braces.
Inlays and Onlays: Dual-cure and self-cure resins are commonly used.
Application involves thoroughly cleaning the tooth and restoration surface, etching, applying adhesive, and finally placing the resin cement. Proper isolation (often with a rubber dam) is crucial to ensure a strong bond and avoid contamination by moisture or saliva.
