Bifix QM
Dual-curing, resin-based adhesive cement system offers excellent adhesion to both metal and nonmetal inlays, onlays, and full and partial crowns
Retention, ease of delivery, color stability— there are many boxes to check off in the search for a new dental cement. While it might seem like settling for a material with just a few of these key properties is inevitable, for clinician and author Dr. Chad C. Duplantis, VOCO's Bifix QM checks off virtually every box, including 2 of the most important criteria: strong adhesion and easy cleanup.
“While adhesive resin cements offer dentists the greatest strength when bonding indirect restorations in place, Bifix QM offers an extra level of adhesion over other cements in the marketplace. And in contrast to many previous versions of adhesive resin cements, its cleanup is unproblematic and easy.”
The dual-curing universal cement features a special polyfunctional monomer structure that provides excellent adhesion to both metal and nonmetal inlays, onlays, and full and partial crowns. And when used in tandem with VOCO’s Futurabond U universal adhesive, Bifix QM offers an even higher level of adhesion and a clinically proven dentin-enamel bond.
"Using products like Bifix QM that are proven and efficient gives us peace of mind that patients won't need return visits."

“My motto is that products that are designed together are meant to work together,” said Dr. Duplantis of using Bifix QM with Futurabond U. "The chemistries are developed within a similar environment, which results in chemistries that are designed to work with each other—allowing us to realize greater results.”
While the Fort Worth, TX, clinician, who has been using CAD/CAM technology in his practice for over 15 years, says the strong and reliable Bifix QM is his go-to cement for virtually all indirect restorations, it has been especially helpful during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
“During this pandemic, we all want to get our patients in and out of the chair as quickly as possible, and patients want to get in and out quickly, too! Using products like Bifix QM that are proven and efficient gives us peace of mind that patients won’t need return visits,” Dr. Duplantis said.
