DentoTemp can be mixed with a small amount of petroleum jelly to reduce its retention A Furrer plier is particularly adept to removing temporary elements DentoTemp binds to the inside of the temporary crown. Resealing the temporary element is easy with the addition of extra DentoTemp For a temporary cementation on a composite restored tooth, isolate the core.

For cementation of temporary prosthesis (long term - until 8 months) or permanent cementation of implant-retained crowns and bridges.

Advantages:

• No eugenol - No interferences with permanent cements
• High bonding strength, but with an easy removal
• Leaves perfectly healthy gingiva after removal of the temporary crown
• Binds to the inside of temporary crowns: the removal of the temporary crown takes off all of the cement
• Nothing left to remove on the natural tooth and the prepared teeth stay perfectly clean
• Rebasing and cementation in one stage
• Can be used on vital teeth
• Thin film – Very aesthetic result
• Radiopaque

Indications:

For temporary cementation in case of:

- A small retention area

- A long-term trial Permanent cementation of implant-retained crowns

Mixing of Dentotemp:

• Dispense equal amounts of base and catalyst onto a mixing sheet.
• Mix together thoroughly with a mixing spatula for 20 to 30 seconds.

Cementation of temporary crowns:

Before cementing a temporary crown, check fit, occlusion, proximal contacts and completes all finishing procedures.

• Dry and isolate the prepared abutments. Absolute dryness is not necessary, but obvious contamination should be avoided.
• Ensure the interior of the temporary crown is clean & dry. Apply the mixed cement directly into the temporary crown. You have 45-60 sec working time.
• Immediately seat the crown and either hold in place or have the patient gently close on a cotton roll until the initial set which is 90-120 sec. The initial set is characterized by a distinct rubbery phase in which excess cement can be easily removed using an explorer or periodontal probe.
• Remove excess cement. Take care to pass a probe through interproximal embrasures to eliminate excess cement in those areas.in most cases, excess cement will be extremely easy to remove usually in several large easy to handle pieces.
• Final cement set is between 4-5 min. depending on conditions.
