Product Features

Provisa Cem SE is designed to be placed directly into the restoration with the automix tip. It stays in place, being neither too runny nor too thick. The shades are adequate for the majority of clinical cases, and its compatibility with multiple materials makes it a versatile cement for daily use. The creamy viscosity allows complete seating of restorations with minimal pressure. Self-curing takes a bit longer than desired, but utilizing a brief light exposure to activate the dual–cure feature allows removal of excess cement right away. The single step application of Provisa Cem SE makes it a simple cement to use.
