Adhesion to tooth structure

Like the original product in the Clicker Dispenser, RelyX Luting Plus Automix cement has an inherent ability to provide a molecular bond to tooth structure without the use of separate etching and bonding techniques. Although some products do recommend use of a separate conditioner on the tooth surface to promote adhesion, RelyX Luting Plus Automix cement does not need a separate conditioning step.

Sustained fluoride release

RelyX Luting Plus Automix cement has sustained fluoride release, which is a key feature of glass ionomer-based cements.

Mechanical properties

For general crown and bridge metal-based and strengthened-core ceramic restorations, the supporting strength and stability comes from the coping and does not rely as heavily on the cement. The physical properties of RelyX Luting Plus Automix cement passed all ISO 9917-2:2010 tests for a class 1, water-based, resin modified luting cement.
