ProTec CEM
1 cement for 2 systems of materials
ProTec CEM is a new generation of hybrid ionomer luting cement. It offers you precisely what you expect from a cement: a wide range of applications in modern dentistry.
Reliable and easy to use
Given its innovative, densely crosslinked matrix structure, ProTec CEM
expands minimally. Therefore, ProTec CEM is ideal for the conventional
cementation of metal-reinforced as well as metal-free (Targis / Vectris)
restorations.
A variety of indications
New level of aesthetics
Reliable handling
Balanced physical
properties
Low expansion
Exceptional radiopacity
Metal-free restorations (Targis/Vectris)
ProTec CEM is a new material specially designed
to cement metal-free restorations (Targis/Vectris) on retentive preparations.
Metal-reinforced restorations
ProTec CEM is also suitable for
cementing PFM and metal restorations because of its balanced physical
properties and excellent retention.
Endodontic posts (e.g. CosmoPost)
ProTec CEM gives you a choice of two shades:
The transparent shade excellently adapts to translucent, metal-free restorations, allowing you to achieve exceptionally aesthetic results, even when you use conventional cementation techniques.
The yellow shades makes it easy for you to recognize and remove excess material.
transparent yellow/universal
The self-curing powder/liquid system features the well known handling properties of conventional cements: ProTec CEM is easy to mix and apply. Excess material is simply removed with an instrument.
Given its state-of-the-art chemical composition, ProTec CEM demonstrates minimal solubility and continuous fluoride release. The mechanical properties of ProTec CEM are optimally coordinated with Targis/Vectris.
Studies have shown that high expansion of a cement may result in clinical failure, such as fracturing of metal-free restorations (Ref 1 and 2).
In response to this problem, Vivadent has developed a new generation of hybrid ionomer cements. ProTec CEM exhibits substantially less expansion than other compomers and hybrid ionomer cements (Ref 3). The newly developed, stable network structure and the increased density of the network are responsible for this behaviour.

ProTec CEM demonstrates exceptionally high radiopacity, making it easy for you to identify excess material and secondary caries on X-rays.
