3m 40s
This video addresses the debate over polymerizing adhesives before cementation in restorative dentistry. Studies suggest better bond strength when the adhesive is pre-polymerized. However, certain clinical situations, such as minimal retention or highly expulsive preparations, may benefit from simultaneous polymerization with resin cement. Using dual-cure adhesives like 3M’s Single Bond Universal paired with RelyX Ultimate cement provides flexibility in techniques. Watch this video for insights into achieving durable and efficient dental restorations.
