How should I dry the tooth prior to cementing my restoration with RelyX™ Unicem Cement?
Lightly dry in only 2-3 second intervals with air free of water and oil, or use cotton pellets to dry the excess water. Do not overdry! The tooth should be just dry enough that the surface has a slightly glossy appearance. As is the case with any fixation cement, over drying can lead to post-operative sensitivity.
