Product Features

The syringe delivery and automix dispensing of G-CEM LinkAce were easy to use and provided a homogeneous mix.  The viscosity allows complete seating of posts and restorations. Excess cement was easiest to remove after a short tack cure. Fully set cement is difficult to remove. Consultants reported it was important to maintain pressure on the restoration during the setting time. Twenty-three percent of consultants rated G-CEM LinkAce better than other self-adhesive resin cements they were using and 54% rated it to be equivalent. Sixty-two percent would switch to G-CEM LinkAce and 81% would recommend it to a colleague.

Clinical Tips
