Shofu Beauticem SA Resin Cement

Features

Description

BeautiCem SA s a self-etch, self-adhesive, dual-cure resin cement which easily, quickly and reliably adheres to enamel and dentine, metals, ceramics and indirect composite resins, without the need for
separate bonding or phosphoric acid etching or any hassle of post-operative sensitivity.

Fluoride-releasing self-adhesive resin cement

BeautiCem SA is a universally usable, self-etching and self-adhesive resin cement capable of releasing and recharging fluoride thanks to its S-PRG filler particles. This dual-cure luting material easily, quickly and reliably cements all indirect restoratives and all types of restorations suitable for adhesive cementation to natural tooth structure, without the need for separate phosphoric acid etching, priming or bonding of enamel and dentine.

Consistant mixing quality
BeautiCem SA is available in two colours, Clear and Ivory, and comes in a dual-barrel syringe with auto-mix tips, consistently mixing the cement at the correct ratio and without any air inclusions. The ideal viscosity of this non-sticky cement ensures controlled delivery and accurate restoration placement.

The ideal viscosity of this non-sticky cement ensures controlled delivery and accurate restoration placement.

Benefits

• Durable bond to a wide range of materials
• No need for separate phosphoric acid etching, priming or bonding of enamel and dentine
• Outstanding physical properties
• High translucency for aesthetically challenging cases
• Low layer thickness (11.8 µm)

Thanks to its thixotropic flow behaviour, the material forms an even, bubble-free layer which is only 11.8 µm thick, making restoration margins virtually undetectable.

Careful control of the refractive index provides outstanding translucency for aesthetically challenging cases. And excellent radiopacity facilitates diagnoses in future examinations.

Indications

• All-ceramic inlays, onlays, crowns and bridges
• Dentures made with precious, semiprecious and non-precious alloys, also with titanium
• PFM crowns and bridges
• CAD/CAM restorations
• Indirect-composite inlays, onlays, crowns and bridges
• All-ceramic, composite and metal restorations on implant abutments
• Various kinds of metal and composite post & cores

Direction to Use

1. Pretreatment of cavity and abutment tooth
1.1. Cleaning of cavity and abutment tooth
Thoroughly remove the temporary sealing or cement. Rinse with water and dry following the conventional method.
1.2. Isolation
Isolate with rubber dam etc. following the conventional method.
1.3. Try-in the restoration
Try in the restoration to ensure proper fit and to adjust occlusion.

2. Pretreatment of restoration
2.1. Sandblasting
Sandblast the restoration surface with alumina sand (diameter of 50-100 µm). 
2.2. (In the case where the restoration is made of porcelain only)
Dispense adequate amount of primer for ceramics (SHOFU Porcelain Primer) on a dish. Apply to the restoration surface to be cemented using a Micro Tip brush etc and dry naturally for 10 sec.

3. Dispensing
Uncap the double-syringe cartridge. Gently place the syringe tips onto a mixing pad. Depress the plunger to dispense Paste A and B, confirming that the pastes are flowing evenly at the same level. After dispensing, clean the nozzle tips with a gauze etc. and replace the cap securely.

4. Mixing and Application
Mix the dispensed pastes sufficiently using a plastic spatula for 10 sec. Apply the mixture to the restoration surface to be cemented following the conventional method.

5. Placement
Seat the restoration onto cavity or abutment tooth. Hold in place with light pressure.

6. Removal of excess cement
6.1. When using a light-curing unit (Halogen or LED):
Light-cure excess cement for approximately 2 sec and remove the half-cured material using a probe etc.
6.2. For the areas where light does not reach:
Leave 3-4 mins after placing the restoration to allow the material to cure chemically. Then remove the half-cured material.

7. Final cure
Light-cure each surface and marginal area for prescribed time using a dental light-curing unit. However, for the area where the light does not reach, hold the restoration in place for 5 mins after seating in order to allow it to cure chemically
