RelyX Ultimate⁚ Components and Packaging
The trial kit includes a Scotchbond Universal bottle, etchant syringe, dispensing tips, microbrushes, and a syringe of translucent cement, providing a complete start-up set․
Trial Kit Contents
The RelyX Ultimate Trial Kit is thoughtfully assembled to provide clinicians with the necessary components for initial use and assessment․ This kit includes a 1․5 ml bottle of Scotchbond Universal adhesive, which acts as both a bonding agent and primer for various substrates like silica-based ceramics, zirconia, and metals․ It also features a 3 ml etchant syringe, accompanied by 25 dispensing tips for precise application․ To facilitate the bonding procedure, 50 microbrushes are included for accurate adhesive placement․ Furthermore, the kit contains one syringe of translucent RelyX Ultimate cement, allowing for immediate testing and usage․ This comprehensive selection ensures practitioners can experience the benefits of the system from the outset․
Clicker Dispenser Pack
The RelyX Ultimate Clicker dispenser pack offers a convenient and efficient method for dispensing the adhesive resin cement․ This pack is designed to provide a controlled amount of cement with each click, delivering approximately 4․5 grams of material in 80 clicks, sufficient for around 40 single-unit restorations․ The clicker system simplifies the dispensing process, reducing the number of components required and making the cement easier to use․ The pack is available in different shades, such as A1, A3 Opaque, and Translucent, to match the aesthetic needs of various restorations․ This packaging method ensures consistent mixing and minimizes waste, making it a practical choice for dental professionals seeking precise application․
RelyX Ultimate⁚ Usage and Technique
RelyX Ultimate utilizes a spiral mixing tip for dispensing, ensuring the correct base paste to catalyst paste ratio․ A small amount should be discarded until a homogeneous paste is visible․
Dispensing and Mixing
RelyX Ultimate is conveniently dispensed using either an automix syringe or a Clicker dispenser․ When using the automix syringe, a mixing tip, either wide or with an intraoral or endo tip, should be attached․ Before use, a small, peppercorn-sized amount of the cement should be expressed and discarded to ensure a consistent and homogenous mix․ The Clicker dispenser offers a precise amount of cement per click, with approximately 80 clicks dispensing 4․5 grams of cement, sufficient for about 40 single-unit applications․ Proper mixing ensures optimal bond strength and performance of the dual-cure cement․
Cementation Procedure
The cementation process with RelyX Ultimate is designed for ease and efficiency․ After dispensing the mixed cement, apply it directly into the restoration․ Then, seat the restoration with gentle finger pressure․ A tack cure for just one to two seconds is recommended to set the restoration in place․ After the tack cure, excess cement should be carefully removed using a scaler or appropriate instrument․ This streamlined procedure simplifies the cementation process while maintaining a secure bond․
Curing Instructions
RelyX Ultimate offers a dual-cure mechanism, providing flexibility in the curing process․ Following the tack cure, the material can be light-cured for 20 seconds per surface to initiate complete polymerization․ Alternatively, if light curing is not feasible, the material will self-cure over time․ Allow approximately 6 minutes from the start of mixing for a complete dark cure․ The dual cure nature of RelyX Ultimate ensures that the cement will harden and achieve its optimal properties regardless of light access, providing predictable results in various clinical situations․
RelyX Ultimate⁚ Advantages and Features
