Consultants’ Comments
- “Very easy to use.”
- “No mixing; good packaging and instructions.”
- “I found that I could do virtually all the cleanup with a brush before any light curing, as the viscosity doesn’t allow for any slippage.”
- “A dual-cured formulation would be nice.”
Description
3M ESPE RelyX Veneer Cement is a light-cured, resin-based luting material for the final cementation of ceramic and composite veneer restorations. The thinness of most veneers will allow adequate light penetration through the restoration. The filler load of the cement is about 66% by weight with an average particle size of 0.6 Œºm. The cement is intended to be dispensed directly onto the veneer. The Introductory Kit contains one, 3-g syringe of cement in Al, A3, white opaque, translucent, and white; one, 2-g syringe of try-in paste in A1, A3, white opaque, translucent, and white; one, 6-g bottle of 3M ESPE Adper Single Bond Plus; one, 5-ml bottle of 3M ESPE RelyX Ceramic Primer; one, 3-ml bottle of 3M ESPE Scotchbond Phosphoric Etchant Syringe; and accessories. RelyX Veneer Cement was evaluated by 18 consultants in over 300 applications. This product received a 98% clinical rating.Editors’ Note: The original evaluation was published in THE DENTAL ADVISOR, Vol. 19, No. 2, March 2002.
