Category Spotlight: 3M RelyX Universal Resin Cement

Whether you’ve bonded a composite or cemented a crown, you should have confidence that when your patient leaves the chair, the materials you used will do their job. Rest assured with 3M RelyX Universal Resin Cement, which works as a standalone, self-adhesive cement and as an adhesive cement when combined with 3M Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive.

Together, they eliminate the hassle and confusion of multiple resin cements, primers and adhesives, simplifying direct and indirect restorative workflows, while saving clinicians time, inventory, and money.

A Dynamic Duo

Deemed a DPS Best Product in 2021, the combination of Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive and RelyX Universal Resin Cement is a welcome addition to the restorative workflow.

“I do a lot of porcelain and zirconia crown and bridge work and need an easy, consistent, predictable, and successful means of cementation,” said Dr. Nicholas Nicosia. “These materials are easy to work with, the steps are not too involved, and minimal cleanup is required. It is nice to have 1 product system to address several restorative needs.”

Dispensed in a convenient 1-bottle system, Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive enhances bond strength to all substrates, while RelyX Universal is a self-adhesive cement suitable for virtually all dual-cure resin cement indications.

“Having 1 product system that is easy to use, has minimal steps, can be used in multiple cases, and achieves successful results is a huge benefit in my practice,” added Dr. Nicosia.

Results You Can Rely On

When used alone as a self-adhesive cement, RelyX Universal Resin Cement embodies several properties and features that deliver the results dentists desire.

For example, 3M’s game-changing automix syringe is designed for easy dispensing, cleaning, and storage. The cement’s unique chemistry also ensures any excess out flow stays in place at the restoration margins. It can be removed very easily after tack curing.
