RELYX LUTING-3m Cement Kit (Powder & Liquid)

RelyX Luting Cement Kit - 3M/ESPE

RelyX Luting Cement is an excellent hybrid glass ionomer long-lasting dental material with a velvety consistency that allows for easy handling and placement. The RelyX luting cement offers an incredible durability with high fracture resistance, no solubility for superior marginal integrity and negligible post-operative sensitivity with high sustained fluoride-release ideal for all indirect restorations.

Suggested Applications

For permanent cementation of:
1.Metal crowns, inlays and onlays (includes stainless steel crowns).

2.Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns and bridges.

3.All-zirconia or all-alumina strengthened core ceramic restorations (such as Lava™ or Procera®).

4.Endodontic pins and posts.

5.Endo Pins & Posts .

Packing:

16g powder,

9mL Liquid,

spoon,

2 mixing pads

Instructions for Use:

Preparation

1. Remove the provisional restoration and all residual temporary cement.

2. Thoroughly clean the preparation with an oil-free pumice paste. Rinse with water and let dry. Note: Do not desiccate the tooth. Desiccation of tooth structure is believed to cause post operative sensitivity in some individuals.

3. Pulp protection: Use a hard setting calcium hydroxide material with near exposures. Note: Use of some tooth preparation treatments is not recommended as their residue may adversely affect bond strength or the setting reactions (e.g.,Tubulicid Red).

4. Casting preparation: Thoroughly clean interior surfaces of cast crown, inlay or onlay.

Directions

1. Dispense powder and liquid: The standard powder/liquid ratio of 1.6:1 by weight can be obtained by using an equal number of level scoops of powder and liquid drops. Three scoops of powder and three drops of liquid will provide an adequate amount of material to seat one typical crown.

1.1. Shake the jar to fluff the RelyX Luting powder before dispensing.

1.2. Insert the scoop into the jar, overfill it with loosely packed powder and withdraw it against the plastic leveler to remove excess powder and obtain a level scoop.

1.3. Dispense the desired number of powder scoops onto the mixing pad. Note: The glass ionomer powders are sensitive to high humidity. Store with jar caps securely tightened and away from high humidity. Replace cap immediately after use.

1.4. To obtain a proper liquid drop size, hold the RelyX Luting Cement liquid vial vertically with the dropper tip down and without the tip contacting the mixing pad.

1.5. Squeeze the vial to dispense the desired number of liquid drops onto the mixing pad. Replace cap immediately after use.

2. Mixing: Using a cement spatula, mix the powder into the liquid. To minimize water evaporation and maximize working time, confine spatulation of the powder and liquid to a small area of the mixing
pad. All of the powder should be incorporated into the liquid within 30 seconds.

3. Working time of the standard powder/liquid ratio is at least 2.5 minutes from the start of mix at a room temperature. Higher temperatures and vigorous spatulation will shorten working time. Lower temperatures will lengthen working time. Note: Working time can be lengthened by using refrigerated liquid or by mixing on a cold slab.

4. Crown placement: Load the crown by spreading a layer of the cement over all the interior surfaces of the crown. Seat crown. Maintain pressure on crown to maintain position during setting process.

5. Clean up excess. Excess material can be removed when cement reaches a waxy stage after a minimum of 3 minutes from placement in the mouth (37°C or 98°F). Use a suitable instrument for this process.Cement will set hard within 10 minutes.
