Medicept Dental Polycem Zinc Polycarboxylate Cement

Medicept Polycem has a compressive strength of 96 MPa, which ensures durable and long-lasting restorations capable of withstanding masticatory forces in clinical applications. This strength rating makes it suitable for both temporary and permanent cementation of crowns, bridges, and other prosthetic restorations.

Medicept Polycem contains sodium fluoride that is gradually released over time, helping to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent secondary caries at the restoration margin. This sustained fluoride release provides long-term protection for dental restorations, reducing the risk of recurrent decay.

Medicept Polycem adheres effectively to enamel, dentin, and non-precious metals, making it versatile for multiple restorative and prosthetic applications including crown and bridge cementation, core build-up, and inlay/onlay placement. Its broad adhesion profile eliminates the need for separate cements across different restoration types.

Medicept Polycem is formulated without phosphoric acid, which reduces the risk of pulpal reactions and provides a more comfortable experience for patients with sensitive teeth. This formulation is particularly advantageous when cementing restorations on teeth with shallow remaining dentin or in cases of pulpal sensitivity.

Medicept Polycem's radiopaque nature provides clear visibility under X-rays, enabling accurate placement verification during cementation and facilitating post-treatment assessment to detect excess cement or marginal gaps. This property aids in quality control and documentation of restoration placement.

Medicept Polycem is designed for easy mixing with a quick setting time, providing a smooth and efficient application process that reduces chairside time during dental procedures. The simplified mixing protocol contributes to improved workflow in busy dental practices without compromising handling characteristics.
