Premier Implant Cement Plus
Versatile cement with unsurpassed radiopacity provides secure retention, yet enables crown retrievability, making it the ultimate solution of cement-retained implant crowns
If there’s one thing all dentists can agree on, it’s that cementation is a cornerstone of any practice. Something else I bet we .jpg)
all would say is that different cements are not necessarily created equal. When thinking about critical components in your operatory, your choice of cement may not necessarily be at the top of the list, but it is a critical necessity—you need it to be easy to use and work effectively, all the time and every time.
I continue to see that constantly moving to innovative products is the key to a successful practice. I have been using Premier Implant Cement Plus for several months now for all my implant crown cementation and I have found it to be efficient, easy, and reliable. Premier Implant Cement Plus is a unique cement product that provides strong, secure retention yet enables easy, non-destructive crown retrieval later.
Unmatched Radiopacity
I’ve found that one of the biggest advantages to using Premier Implant Cement Plus is its unmatched radiopacity. This clear visibility on radiographs allows me to determine quickly and easily if excess cement has gotten interproximally between the crown and other teeth, which if not removed could be detrimental to the tissue and the integrity of the implant, possibly resulting in loss of attachment and bone.
The elastomeric cement flexes under force, absorbs shock, and creates a tight marginal seal. In my experience, its retention is excellent—not one of my patients has returned with a loose or missing crown. This means less headaches for everyone!
I’m sure my office is not the only hectic dental office, especially these days, and Premier Implant Cement Plus doesn’t require etch, primer, or bonding agents, so this has been an extraordinary way to improve chair-time efficiency. In the past, I have used other resin-based cements that needed several steps to ensure proper retention. Not so with Premier Implant Cement Plus!
Easy Retrieval
When I compare this product with other temporary cements I’ve used for cement-retained restorations, I’ve found that it allows easy and safe removal of the crown without damaging the implant or abutment. It achieves gel stage in 2 minutes, and this extended working time is very helpful—there's much less chance of cement hardening around the crown.
Finally, the ease of use has meant less chair time for my patients and has enabled me to better treat those with access difficulties, as well as those who cannot tolerate longer procedures, such as the very young or elderly.
When you think about innovative, high-tech products, you might not think about cements, but sometimes something as basic as cement can make all the difference in the world. Thanks to its radiopacity, ease of use, easy clean-up, and reliable crown retention, Premier Implant Cement Plus really is a useful addition to your armamentarium.
