Itena Totalcem Resin Cement

Itena Totalcem

For cementation of: crowns bridges posts inlays & onlays , Self-adhesive on: enamel, dentine, metal ceramic, porcelain, zirconium composites

“Finally, a self-etching/self-bonding cement where you can almost feel the low film thickness and that your restorations are seating completely! For my own practice, it is a time and money saver with equal or better results to any cement in its class.”- Dr. Louis Malcmacher, President, American Academy of Facial Esthetics

HINTS AND TIPS :-

• Before applying TotalCem, the dentine must be dry, but not too dry.
• For inlays and onlays, etching the enamel edges with phosphoric acid is recommended, in order to increase the bonding strength (while taking care of not spreading over onto the dentine).
• How to clean the root canal before applying TotalCem, in order to have an optimum cementation: Remove all residues of gutta percha with a calibrated drill. Pass over it with an ultrasonic probe. Rinse well and dry without over-drying. Apply TotalCem with an extra-fine intra-oral tip.
• TotalCem has not been developed to adhere to enamel with no mechanical support (eg. dental brackets, veneers).
• During the setting of a ceramic inlay or a zircon crown, the following procedure can be followed to improve cementation: Apply hydrofluoric acid for 1 to 3 minutes, rinse thoroughly, dry, then apply silane (DentoBond Porcelain Fix).
