Itena Totalcem Self Etching And Self Adhesive Permanent Resin Luting Cement

Itena Totalcem Self-Etching & Self-Adhesive Permanent Resin Luting Cement

Itena Totalcem is a self-etching, self-adhesive, permanent resin luting cement designed for fast, reliable cementation of indirect restorations. Its true all-in-one formulation combines etching, priming, bonding, and cementation in a single step—saving time while delivering excellent clinical results.

With dual-curing capability (light- or self-curing), Totalcem ensures complete polymerization even in areas with limited light penetration. Its extremely thin film thickness allows restorations to seat completely, providing a perfect marginal seal with long-term durability.

“Finally, a self-etching/self-bonding cement where you can almost feel the low film thickness and that your restorations are seating completely! For my own practice, it is a time and money saver with equal or better results to any cement in its class.”
— Dr. Louis Malcmacher, President, American Academy of Facial Esthetics

Indications

• Permanent cementation of crowns and bridges
• Post cementation
• Inlays and onlays
• Self-adhesive bonding on enamel and dentine
• Metal, ceramic, porcelain, zirconia, and composite restorations

Advantages

• All-in-one system: etching + primer + bonding + cement
• Exceptional bonding strength (Enamel: 20 MPa, Dentine: 15 MPa)
• Dual curing (light- or self-curing) for guaranteed polymerization
• Optimized gel phase for easy excess removal (3–4 seconds light cure)
• Three intra-oral tips: fine, extra-fine, and ultra-fine Colibri
• No post-operative sensitivity
• Extremely thin film thickness (10 μm)
• Insoluble in oral fluids
• Perfect marginal seal
• Radiopaque (250% of aluminum)
• Fluoride release for added protection
• Safe for use on vital teeth
• Available in two shades: Universal A2 and Translucent
• Excellent long-term shade stability
• Can be stored at room temperature (no refrigeration required)

Hints & Tips

• Dentine should be dry but not over-dried before application
• For inlays and onlays, selective enamel etching with phosphoric acid is recommended (avoid dentine)
• For post cementation: remove gutta-percha residues, clean with ultrasonic probe, rinse, and gently dry
• Apply Totalcem using an extra-fine intra-oral tip for optimal placement
• Totalcem is not intended for bonding to enamel without mechanical retention (e.g., brackets, veneers)
• For ceramic inlays or zirconia crowns: etch with hydrofluoric acid (1–3 minutes), rinse, dry, then apply silane (DentoBond Porcelain Fix)
