Key Features of RelyX Luting Plus
RelyX Luting Plus offers self-curing and tack light curing options, fluoride release, and radiopacity. Its high fracture toughness ensures durability, making it a reliable choice for dental restorations.
3.1 Self-Curing and Tack Light Curing Options
RelyX Luting Plus offers dual curing flexibility, combining self-curing properties with optional tack light curing for excess cement. This feature allows for precise control during placement, ensuring proper setting without delaying the curing process. The self-curing mechanism is ideal for areas where light access is limited, while tack curing provides an additional layer of control, enhancing the overall efficiency and reliability of the cement in various clinical applications.
3.2 Fluoride-Releasing Properties
RelyX Luting Plus incorporates fluoride-releasing technology, which helps prevent secondary caries and promote oral health. This feature is particularly beneficial for long-term restorations, as it mimics the natural tooth’s ability to exchange fluoride ions. The sustained release of fluoride enhances the cement’s biocompatibility and provides an additional layer of protection for the tooth and surrounding tissues, contributing to the overall longevity of the restoration and patient satisfaction.
3.3 Radiopacity and High Fracture Toughness
RelyX Luting Plus features excellent radiopacity, ensuring clear visibility on radiographs for accurate diagnosis and monitoring. Its high fracture toughness enhances durability, reducing the risk of cement fractures under masticatory loads. This combination of properties makes it ideal for demanding dental applications, providing both diagnostic confidence and long-term clinical performance, while maintaining the structural integrity of the restoration in challenging environments.
Instructions for Use
RelyX Luting Plus requires bringing materials to room temperature. Dispense desired amount, mix thoroughly for 20 seconds, and ensure proper seating. Allow setting time for optimal results.
4.1 Preparing the Material
Allow RelyX Luting Plus to reach room temperature (21–24°C or 70–75°F) before use. Ensure all components are at the same temperature for consistent mixing. Remove caps and dispense the desired amount onto a mixing pad. Use 1–2 clicks of material for most applications. Avoid exposing the cement to direct light or moisture during preparation to maintain its properties and ensure proper handling.
4.2 Dispensing and Mixing the Cement
Dispense RelyX Luting Plus in 1–2 clicks onto a mixing pad. Use a clean, dry spatula to mix thoroughly for 20–30 seconds until a uniform consistency is achieved. Ensure no streaks remain to guarantee proper bonding. Avoid over-mixing, as it may affect the material’s properties. The mix should be smooth and even, ready for immediate use. Always follow the recommended mixing ratio to maintain optimal performance and durability of the cement.
4.3 Seating and Setting Time
Once mixed, RelyX Luting Plus should be seated immediately. The initial setting time is approximately 2–3 minutes, with final set achieved in 5–6 minutes. Allow the material to set undisturbed for optimal results. For tack light curing, wait 3 minutes after seating to avoid disrupting the setting process. Working time is around 2 minutes, so prepare and seat promptly for best outcomes. Ensure the area is dry and free from contamination for proper bonding and setting.
Handling and Mixing Tips
Use a 1:1 mixing ratio for consistent results. Mix on a clean pad for 20 seconds, ensuring a smooth, bubble-free consistency; Work within 2 minutes for optimal handling.
