Product Profile: Predicta Bioactive Cement 

A universal cement that closes the gap against microleakage


One of the main reasons dental practices work with such a wide array of materials is compatibility. However, using a wide variety of materials during a procedure can be complicated and wasteful when it comes to technique. Finding a cement that works well with all substrates saves time and is cost-effective.

Predicta Bioactive Cement provides exceptional bond strengths to all substrates, including zirconia, without the need for additional primers and boasts higher bond strengths to enamel and dentin than the leading competitor. The cement offers a next-level bioactive performance by filling and sealing microgaps with robust hydroxyapatite formation at the margin, thereby alleviating or preventing microleakage that is otherwise associated with recurrent decay (based on in vitro test models).

By combining all the properties and performance benefits of premium universal resin cement with bioactivity, Parkell has created a cement that gives crown margins protection against secondary caries. The cement is indicated for luting crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and prefabricated metal, nonmetal and fiber posts.

As a result of Predicta’s bioactivity and continuous release and recharge of beneficial ions, it forms a dense layer of hydroxyapatite across microgaps, which in turn protects crown margins from the harsh elements in the oral cavity.

Predicta is a self-adhesive, self-etching, dual-cure resin cement that exhibits robust bioactivity. Made in the U.S., it has an ideal viscosity for easy handling and cleanup, high radiopacity and low film thickness for complete seating of restorations. Predicta also contains MDP for strong bonds to zirconia, has no postop sensitivity, and is available in translucent, A2 and white opaque shades.
