3M ESPE Introduces the RelyX™ Veneer Cement System - Featuring Customer-Preferred Delivery and Shading Systems
May 8, 2001
3M ESPE introduces a veneer cement system with a customer-preferred delivery and color match system that's easy to use and easy to choose. 3M™ ESPE™ RelyX™ Veneer Cement provides simple and efficient bonding of porcelain, composite and ceramic veneers. The dentist-preferred, non-slump viscosity prevents veneer drift and is easy to dispense, apply and clean up – traits common to the RelyX cement family.
RelyX Veneer Cement's excellent adhesion to both dentin and enamel reduces the potential for microleakage and marginal staining. Dentists can be confident that their final restoration will remain permanently in the patient's mouth. The light-cure only, resin-based cement also provides exceptional color stability and simplified shade selection.
Corresponding 3M™ ESPE™ RelyX™ Try-In Pastes are water-soluble, residue-free, and offer excellent color match to the cured cement shade. In fact, laboratory tests found the color difference of the 3M™ ESPE™ RelyX™ Try-In Pastes in relation to the cured 3M™ ESPE™ RelyX™ Veneer Cement to be consistent and not noticeably different.
Both products come in six commonly known and preferred shades: Translucent, B0.5/White, White Opaque, A1/Light Yellow, A3 Opaque/Yellow Opaque, and A5/Dark. Additionally, the translucent shade was rated very high for customer satisfaction for those cases where color adjustment is unnecessary.
The new veneer cement adds to the RelyX cement family which includes: 3M™ ESPE™ RelyX™ Adhesive Resin Cement (ARC) and 3M™ ESPE™ RelyX™ Luting Cement. The entire line boasts ease of use – easy to apply and clean up.
