May I use desensitizing agents before cementing restorations with RelyX™ Unicem Cement?
The unique chemistry of RelyX™ Unicem Cement demineralizes and penetrates into the tooth surface without utilizing a separate acid etching step. This greatly reduces the potential for patient tooth sensitivity when compared to a typical total-etch resin cement system. Therefore, the use of an additional desensitizing step is NOT beneficial. We recommend that cleaning the prepared tooth with an aqueous pumice slurry and water as the final treatment before cementing the restoration with RelyX™ Unicem cement.
