Ivoclar Vivadent Product

Self-curing resin cement ideal for the cementation of zirconium oxide restorations Dental practitioners want products that are easy to use and effective. In response to these requirements, Ivoclar Vivadent has developed a composite cement that incorporates a number of special features.
User-Friendly and Efficient
SpeedCEM Plus is a self-adhesive, self-curing composite cement, which can be light-cured if desired. It ideally combines high clinical performance and user-friendliness. Because of its advanced formulation, the cement is particularly suitable for use with restorations made of zirconium oxide or metal-ceramic as well as the cementation of restorations on implant abutments.

Excellent self-cure properties
It can be difficult to light-cure a cement completely through certain restorations. Excellent self-cure properties ensure a sound bond in the cementation of opaque restorations. SpeedCEM Plus generates a strong bond on zirconium oxide, non precious alloys—for example titanium—and also on dentin, without the need for light-curing.

User-friendly
The new composite cement is very easy to use. The easy clean-up formula is one of the key features of the cement. The cement can be tack cured with light, allowing easy removal of excess cement in convenient segments. The cement has flexible applications and can be used in many different situations. It generates a strong bond on wet and dry dentin in both the self-cure and the light-cure mode. The cement is highly radiopaque and is therefore clearly distinguishable from enamel and dentin. As a result, any remaining excess cement is easy to identify on radiographs.



Example



Example
The easy clean-up formula is a key feature of SpeedCEM Plus.


Efficient process
Due to the self-etching properties of SpeedCEM Plus, phosphoric acid etching and the use of dentin adhesives are unnecessary. An additional primer is not needed in the cementation of restorations made of zirconium oxide or non precious alloys. This reduces the treatment time as well as the risk of incorrect application. Efficiency and good physical properties significantly contribute to the long-term success of the treatment.

Ivoclean is recommended for the efficient cleaning of saliva-contaminated restorations after the try-in.

Key features at a glance
  • Excellent clinical performance in the self-cure mode; ideal for zirconium oxide and metal-ceramic restorations
  • User-friendly handling and easy clean-up of excess
  • Fast and efficient process comprising only one component
Clinical cases
Cementing an IPS e.max restoration on a zirconia implant abutment

Example

    Restoration
  • Apply IPS Ceramic Etching Gel (5% HF acid) to the bonding surface of the restoration for 20 seconds. Rinse and air dry.
  • After try-in of the final restoration apply Ivoclean to the internal surface of the restoration for 20 seconds. Rinse and dry.
    • Abutment
  • Prepare the abutment according to manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Close the screw channel.


    • Example



  • Apply Monobond Plus to the bonding surface of the restoration. Allow it to react for 60 seconds. CAD/CAM doctors can use Monobond Etch and Prime.
  • Air dry.
  • Inject SpeedCEM Plus cement directly into the restoration.


    • Example



  • After seating, light-cure each quarter surface for approximately one second. The cement will achieve a gel-like consistency for easy cleanup.
  • Excess material can be easily removed with a scaler.


    • Example



  • Utilize Liquid Strip to eliminate oxygen-inhibited layer.
  • Light-cure all margins for 20 seconds.
  • Rinse off Liquid Strip.


    • Example



  • Finish the proximal surfaces and polish the restoration margins.

Example



  • Zirconia restoration should be treated per manufacturer’s instructions.
  • After try-in, apply Ivoclean to the internal surface of the restoration for 20 seconds.
  • Rinse and dry.


    • Examlpe



  • Apply SpeedCEM Plus cement directly into the restoration.


    • Example



  • After seating, light-cure each quarter surface for approximately one second. The cement will achieve a gel-like consistency for easy cleanup.
  • Excess material can be easily removed with a scaler.


    • Example



  • Utilize Liquid Strip to eliminate oxygen-inhibited layer.
  • Light cure all margins for 20 seconds.
  • Rinse off Liquid Strip.
