The potential for patient sensitivity is greatly reduced when using Maxcem Elite compared to traditional total etch resin cement systems. This is primarily due to the fact that Maxcem Elite is a self-etch/self-adhering cement and there is no separate acid etching step to open dentin tubules. Therefore the risk of sensitivity is greatly reduced. Maxcem Elite was not designed to be used with a desensitizer and this additional step would provide no advantages.
