Dental NEX Lute DC (Dual Cure Resin cement)

Dual cure means it can chemically self‑cure and also light cure, giving reliable polymerization even where light cannot reach deep areas.

These are resin‑based luting cements that bond indirectly fabricated restorations to tooth structure or posts. They generally offer high strength, good adhesion and low film thickness for precise fit and long‑term stability.

Dual‑cure resin cements are adhesive luting materials used in dentistry to permanently attach indirect restorations (crowns, bridges, posts, inlays/onlays, veneers) to tooth structure or implant abutments. They are designed so that the material polymerizes (sets) by two mechanisms:

Light‑activated cure — hardens when cured with a dental curing light.

Self‑cure chemical reaction — hardens on its own even where light cannot reach (e.g., under opaque restorations).
This dual cure property ensures a complete set even in deep or covered areas where curing light intensity is limited.

Strong adhesion to tooth structure and restorative materials (ceramics, composites, metals).

Low film thickness — allows accurate seating of the restoration.

Radiopacity — cement shows up on X‑rays for post‑operative evaluation.

Controlled working time — gives the clinician time to seat the restoration and remove excess material.
