Consultants’ Comments
- “Excellent cement and super easy to use.”

- “Super thin viscosity and film thickness made it easy to dispense and spread along margins.”
- “I liked the calcium and fluoride release.”
- “No post-operative sensitivity.”
- “It was too opaque or creamy for some cases.”
Clinical Tips
- Work quickly after placing the material in the restoration.
- Tack cure is fast. Don’t tack cure for more than 3 seconds as the cement will become difficult to remove.
- Use a micro brush to distribute the cement.
- Make sure you clean the substrate with alcohol after try-in.

Description
TheraCem Self-Adhesive Resin Cement is a self-etching, self-adhesive, calcium- and fluoride-releasing, radiopaque, dual-cured resin cement. The cement is automixed and dispensed in tips. It requires no etching, priming or bonding of the prepared surfaces and offers a strong bond to zirconia. The cement can be tack cured for 2 to 3 seconds for easy cleanup and removal of excess cement. TheraCem Self-Adhesive Resin Cement is available in a natural shade in dual-syringes (8 g) together with mixing, intraoral and root canal tips.
