SmartCem2 : The Ideal Cement?

Dr. I. asks:

DENTSPLY has recently come out with SmartCem2 which is supposed to be better than the original SmartCem. I like the fact that it is self-etching, so I don’t need a separate bonding sequence in addition to the cementation. Also, I like the self-etching cements because there is no post-op sensitivity. I have been using RelyX-Unicem now for two years and this stuff is great. Is there any reason for me to consider using SmartCem2? Should I switch?

According to Dentsply:

“SmartCem2 is a self-adhesive cement… The real benefit of SmartCem2 is the application and handling compared to the other self-adhesive cements on the market. Because it uses an automix delivery system, it means you avoid the hassle associated with hand mixing and ensures you always have enough material to hand (unlike capsules where you can easily run out of material mid-way through the procedure).

The “gel-phase” of SmartCem2 ensures easy clean-up of material and can be initiated quickly with a few seconds of a curing light, reducing the waiting time and ensuring a quicker total procedure. SmartCem2 is available in five shades (light, medium, dark, translucent and opaque) to ensure an aesthetic result. ”
