DUAL CEM: Dual-Cure Resin Cement for Permanent Adhesive Cementation

DUAL CEM by Kiyomi Dental is a dual-cure resin cement designed for the definitive fixation of indirect restorations, providing reliable adhesion and predictable clinical performance across a wide range of restorative and prosthetic procedures.

Its polymerization mechanism combines chemical curing and light curing, allowing the material to achieve optimal setting even in areas where light transmission is limited. This feature is particularly beneficial for thick restorations or structures that restrict light penetration.

Thanks to its high adhesive capacity, DUAL CEM can be used with a variety of restorative materials commonly employed in modern dentistry, including zirconia, lithium disilicate, metal-ceramic restorations, metal alloys, indirect composites, and fiberglass posts.

The system is supplied in a convenient dual-chamber automix syringe that automatically dispenses the base and catalyst in a precise 1:1 ratio. This ensures a homogeneous mix, minimizes air incorporation, and helps maintain consistent mechanical properties throughout the procedure.

Available in A1, A2, A3, and Trans shades, it allows clinicians to match the cement color to the aesthetic requirements of each restoration.

Key Features

• Permanent dual-cure resin cement.
• Combination of self-curing and light-curing mechanisms.
• Automix system with a 1:1 base-to-catalyst ratio.
• High adhesion to a wide range of substrates.
• Excellent marginal sealing.
• Homogeneous mix with minimal air incorporation.
• High mechanical strength after curing.
• Compatible with direct and indirect restorative materials.
• Available in A1, A2, A3, and Trans shades.
• 5 g dual syringe for simple and precise application.

Clinical Applications

DUAL CEM is indicated for the adhesive cementation of:

• Single crowns.
• Bridges.
• Inlays, onlays, and overlays.
• Endocrowns.
• Restorative fragments.
• Fiberglass posts.
• Implant prosthetic interfaces.

It can also be used in deep core build-up procedures and margin elevation techniques when a material with high stability and adhesive strength is required.

Clinical Advantages

• Effective Curing Even in Hard-to-Reach Areas: The combination of chemical curing and light activation ensures adequate polymerization regardless of restoration depth or light transmission capacity.
• Precise Dispensing and Simplified Handling:The automix system delivers a consistent and uniform mixture, reducing handling errors and optimizing the material’s clinical performance.
• Long-Lasting Adhesion: Creates a stable bond between the restoration and the dental structure, supporting the longevity of the restorative treatment.
• Broad Restorative CompatibilityAllows safe use with zirconia, lithium disilicate, metal, composite, and fiberglass posts, adapting to multiple clinical protocols..
• Reliable Marginal SealIts excellent adaptation helps reduce the risk of microleakage and contributes to maintaining the integrity of the restoration over time.
• Strength to Withstand Functional Loads:Once polymerized, it develops mechanical properties capable of withstanding normal masticatory forces.
• Aesthetic Integration:The availability of different shades facilitates seamless color matching with the final restoration.
• Versatile Solution for Restorative and Prosthetic Procedures:Its wide range of indications makes it suitable for both indirect restorative treatments and more complex prosthetic procedures.
