Temrex CR Temporary Cement

An easily removable, universal temporary cement in the Temrex tradition.

Temrex CR, a noneugenol temporary cement, has been formulated for controlled retention of a prosthesis.

Temrex CR is a durable temporary cement designed to be less adhesive than Temrex TNE. It is designed for use where there is adequate retention and the preparations have long parallel walls. Most prostheses can be removed by simply twisting or using minimal force with a crown remover.

CR also creates an excellent marginal seal, preventing leakage of oral fluids and bacteria under the prosthesis that can cause postoperative pain and carious destruction of the prepared teeth. It has negligible solubility in oral fluids so that the marginal seal will maintain its integrity until the next appointment.

CR has a 70 second working time and sets within 5 minutes. This allows the dentist adequate time to seat the prosthesis, with no waiting to begin cleanup. There is no staining of the temporary prosthesis and no messy residue to pick off the surrounding gingiva, soft tissue, or prosthesis. —Jason Schwartz
