PRODUCT SHOWCASE 2017 IVOCLAR VIVADENT SpeedCEM Plus P rofessionals want to work with materials that are easy to use and offer flexibility. Ivoclar Vivadent is introducing a resin cement that combines several benefits in a single product. SpeedCem Plus is a self-adhesive, self-curing resin cement with a light-curing option. It provides the optimum combination of performance and user friendliness. The cement is especially suited for restorations made of zirconium oxide and metal ceramics, and the cementation of restorations on implant abutments. Excellent self-cure properties Not every restoration allows a complete and uniform light-cure. Strong self-curing capabilities provide an additional measure of safety when seating restorations that are opaque or impervious to light. SpeedCem Plus achieves a high bond strength to dentin, zirconium oxide and nonprecious metals such as titanium without exposure to light. User-friendly protocol The new resin cement offers a high level of user-friendliness with easy cleanup as one of its distinguishing features. Optional light-curing enables users to tack-cure excess cement and then remove it in a few large pieces. In addition, the cement enables flexible use in different situations: It establishes a reliable bond on dry and moist dentin after both light- and self-curing. The cement is easy to distinguish from the enamel and dentin because of its 96 JULY 2017 // dentaltown.com high radiopacity. Remaining excess cement and secondary caries can be easily diagnosed on later X-ray evaluations. Efficient procedure Given its self-adhesive properties, SpeedCem Plus can be used without phosphoric acid etching and without dentin adhesives. Restorations made of zirconium oxide or nonprecious alloy can be cemented without additional primer. Processing times and the risk for application errors are reduced. Offering an efficient procedure and beneficial physical properties, the cement contributes to the long-term success of dental treatments. ■ For more information, visit ivoclarvivadent.com.http://www.ivoclarvivadent.com http://www.dentaltown.com
