For Dr. Sheri Doniger, trying a new cement in her dental practice after years of working with other brands wasn't an easy sell. However, after using CemPower from Essential Dental Systems, Doniger was not only impressed with what the cement could do for her patients but also how it could put both her and her patients' minds at ease.
"Our practice mainly utilizes porcelain fused to metal crowns. The ease of cement placement, the flexibility of cure, and removal of excess with minimal clean-up time are great," Doniger said. "I appreciate the Bis-GMA [bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate]-free formulation, as many patients are concerned with Bis-GMA in any product. This is a great addition to our armamentarium."
According to Essential Dental Systems, CemPower is a self-etch, self-adhesive, dual-cured resin cement. This user-friendly cement is ideal for restorations made of zirconium oxide, lithium disilicate, and other metal-ceramics and for the cementation of high-strength restoratives on implant abutments.
While, as Dr. Doniger noted, CemPower is Bis-GMA free, it also offers other qualities that are a plus for any dental practice.
First, there is the easy cleanup, which has been praised in early adoption by dentists and dental team members. During usage, CemPower becomes a jellylike tab that is easy to remove.
Second, CemPower provides incredible bond strength, with its MPa measured against other cements. This provides peace of mind for the practitioner who wants to make sure that patients don't have any issues after leaving the operatory.
Third, Essential Dental Systems is interested in helping dentists succeed not only in the operatory but in the practice as well. With that in mind, CemPower's price is certainly more than pleasing when compared to the competition.
"We believe these three things will make a noticeable difference for dental practices that bring CemPower into their operatories," Dave Lage, sales and marketing director for Essential Dental Systems, said.
"With its high moisture tolerance and usage of the latest generation of adhesive monomers, CemPower has been very well received by dentists around the United States," Lage said.
