Clinical Overview
3M™ RelyX™ Ultimate Clicker™ Adhesive Resin Cement is a dual-cure resin cement designed for permanent adhesive cementation of indirect dental restorations. Developed to deliver high bond strength and excellent aesthetic stability, the cement works optimally with Scotchbond™ Universal Adhesive to create a simplified two-component adhesive system. The Clicker™ delivery mechanism dispenses equal amounts of base and catalyst for consistent mixing, controlled dosage, and efficient clinical workflow.
Key Benefits
- High bond strength: Provides reliable adhesion to enamel, dentin, and a wide range of restorative materials.
- Dual-cure technology: Combines light- and self-curing mechanisms to ensure complete polymerization even in areas with limited light.
- Simplified adhesive system: Designed for use with universal adhesives to reduce procedural steps.
- Excellent aesthetics: High color stability and natural fluorescence help restorations blend with surrounding dentition.
- Versatile bonding techniques: Compatible with total-etch, selective-etch, and self-etch adhesive approaches.
- Clicker dispensing system: Delivers precise base-to-catalyst ratio while minimizing waste.
