Clinical Overview
3M™ RelyX™ Try-In Paste is a water-soluble shade-matching paste used to evaluate the final appearance of indirect restorations prior to permanent cementation. Designed to simulate the shade and translucency of 3M RelyX resin cements, the paste allows clinicians to verify aesthetics, color harmony, and patient satisfaction before the definitive bonding procedure. Its easy-to-apply consistency helps temporarily seat veneers or other restorations, enabling precise evaluation while allowing quick cleanup without leaving residue.
Key Benefits
- Accurate shade simulation: Matches the final cured shade of corresponding RelyX resin cements for predictable aesthetic outcomes.
- Water-soluble formulation: Easily rinses away without leaving residue that could interfere with bonding.
- Simple application: Syringe delivery allows controlled placement and easy seating of restorations.
- Stable try-in consistency: Holds restorations in position during evaluation while mimicking cement film thickness.
- Improved patient communication: Allows visual confirmation of final aesthetics before definitive cementation.
