Frequently Asked Questions

What is resin cement UAE dentists use it for?
Resin cement UAE clinics use is primarily for cementing crowns, bridges, veneers, and other indirect restorations that need strong, durable bonding.

Is Spident EsCem a dual-cure or self-cure resin cement?
Spident EsCem is a dual-cured resin cement, meaning it sets both through light activation and a chemical reaction, ensuring complete cure even in areas light can't reach.

How does resin cement differ from glass ionomer luting cement?
Resin cement generally offers higher bond strength and better aesthetics for restorations, while glass ionomer luting cement is more commonly used for cost-effective, less aesthetically demanding cementation.

What is the shelf life of resin cement once opened?
Once opened, resin cement typically remains usable for the period stated on the packaging when stored correctly, usually 12–18 months from manufacture.

Can resin cement be used for all-ceramic restorations?
Yes, resin cement is well suited to all-ceramic and zirconia restorations, particularly when combined with the appropriate primer for strong adhesion.
