SEcure™ Adhesive Resin Cement System from ParkellClick here to enlarge imageSEcure™ Adhesive Resin Cement System from Parkell — You are probably thinking, “Why do I need another crown and bridge cement?” SEcure actually offers some advantages that I found to be very beneficial, and I think you will, too. For one, the SEcure product is a 4-META adhesive resin cement (Parkell is known for their 4-Meta chemistry in many of their products). The product has shown significantly higher tensile bond strength to tooth structure than many popular simplified adhesive systems. The cement generates strong bonds to tooth structure without the need to etch when you use the self-etch primer in the kit. Also, the tooth is sealed and protected against possible microleakage, subsequent caries, sensitivity, and pulpal involvement. If you are cementing porcelain to metal crowns, bridgework, or are using the cement in a post access hole, the material is conveniently dual cure. It self-cures in approximately 2.5 minutes and light cures in approximately 40 seconds. In fact, if you expose the restoration's margins with a curing light for a few seconds, you may begin removing excess cement almost immediately. SEcure is one of those products that you'll be glad you have in your practice. Parkell will even let you try the material for three months risk free, but you must purchase the kit directly from the company. If you aren't satisfied, Parkell will pick up the kit and refund your money. For more information or to order SEcure, call Parkell at (800) 243-7446 or visit their Web site at www.parkell.com.
