Speedcem® Plus is a clinically proven self-adhesive resin cement for the permanent seating of high-strength restorations made of zirconia and metal, both on natural teeth and implant abutments. Given its self-curing, self-adhesive properties, Speedcem Plus offers peace of mind and security, expecially when cementing opaque restorations.
The self-adhesive resin cement Speedcem Plus allows you to seat opaque restorations confidently, whether they are zirconia-based or metal-supported. It is also suitable for cementing lithium disilicate crowns with a wall thickness greater than 1.5mm and for 3-unit lithium disilicate bridges (e.g. IPS e.max CAD and IPS e.max Press[1]) on retentively prepared teeth.
Strong self-curing properties offer additional security when cementing opaque restorations. Bond strength tests conducted with Speedcem Plus have confirmed its high bond strength on zirconia, metal and dentine even without light activation.
Thanks to its high moisture tolerance, Speedcem Plus allows for flexible use in various clinical situations, achieving consistently high bond strength values on both dry and moist dentine.
The MDP-based formulation eliminates the need for using additional primers when cementing zirconium oxide or non-precious metal. So, the application protocol involves fewer steps than the adhesive bonding procedure and is easier to learn.
Tack-curing allows excess material to be removed in a breeze without waiting.
Given its high radiopacity, the resin cement can be easily differentiated from the dentine and enamel. This makes residual cement and secondary caries easier to detect.
