AllCem A1, Resin Cement, Dual-Cure Syringe

Clinical Overview

AllCem A1 is a dual‑cure, radiopaque resin cement in a 5 g automix dual‑body syringe (base + catalyst) by FGM. Engineered for permanent cementation of indirect restorations, intraradicular posts, and core build‑ups, its balanced viscosity and dual-curing mechanism ensure reliable performance even in areas without direct light access.

Key Benefits

• True dual‑cure: Self-cures in shaded areas and rapidly light‑cures where accessible, ensuring full polymerization.
• Optimal viscosity: Suitable for both luting and core build‑up sculpting without slumping or void formation.
• Radiopaque formulation: Detect excess cement radiographically in subgingival regions.
• Universal adhesion: Bonds reliably to enamel, dentin, ceramic, metal, composite, CAD/CAM blocks, and post materials.
• High mechanical strength: Excellent compressive and bending resistance suitable for load-bearing sites.
• Available in shade A1: Part of comprehensive shade line‑up including A1, A2, A3, Translucent, and Opaque Pearl for aesthetic matching.
• Auto‑mix convenience: Self‑mixing tips ensure accurate proportions and minimal waste.

Kit Contents

• 1 × 5 g dual‑body automix syringe in shade A1
• 5 × self‑mixing applicator tips for precise delivery and mixing

Working & Setting Times

• Working time: Approximately 1 minute 30 seconds at room temperature post-mixing.
• Light cure: ~40 seconds per accessible restoration surface.
• Chemical cure: Completes in about 10 minutes in areas without light exposure.

Indications

• Cementation of indirect restorations (crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, overlays) in ceramic, composite, metal–ceramic, metal, or resin.
• Cementation of intraradicular posts (fiberglass, ceramic, quartz, or metal) with adhesive protocol.
• Adhesive core build‑up in vital or non‑vital teeth, combining functionality of post cement and core material.

Instructions for Use

1. Isolate field appropriately (rubber dam or relative isolation); prepare tooth and restoration (etch, silane/primer per substrate).
2. Select shade A1 and dispense cement either manually or via applicator tip; mix thoroughly for ~10 seconds to ensure uniform consistency.
3. Apply a fine layer to restoration or canal; seat restoration with gentle pressure. Excess cement may be used to form core as needed.
4. Clean excess cement approximately 2 minutes after mixing begins; if removed early, light‑cure margins to prevent oxygen-inhibited layer.
5. Light‑cure each accessible surface for ~40 seconds; allow chemical set (~10 minutes) to complete in shaded areas.
6. Avoid rotary polishing until full polymerization; advise patient to avoid biting on restored tooth for ~15 minutes post-procedure.

Summary

AllCem A1 (Code 19276) is a versatile, automix dual‑cure resin cement offering adhesive reliability, radiopacity, and consistent mechanics across restorative scenarios. Combined with universal adhesion and aesthetic shade matching, it qualifies as a complete “3‑in‑1” solution for posts, crowns, and core build‑ups in modern clinical workflows.
