NOTE: Cement-It!® Universal C&B is a dual-cure resin cement and, as such, is not ideal for veneers. Mojo® is a multi-shade resin cementation system that includes try-in pastes and can be used as either a light-cure (for veneers) or a dual-cure cement.
Cement-It!® Universal C&B FAQ:
Q. Is Cement-It Universal C&B Cement dual cure?
A. Yes.
Q. What is the set time of Cement-It Universal C&B Cement?
A. Cement-It Universal C&B Cement has a working time of 1.5 minutes from the start of mix and a setting time of about 3.5-4 minutes. If you light cure: 40 sec.
Q. What bonding agent should I use with Cement-It Universal C&B?
A. We highly recommend using Bond-1® Adhesive.
Q. What is the difference between Cement-It Universal C&B Cement and Mojo® Luting Cement?
A. Cement-It Universal C&B Cement is recommended for those cases where the shade of the cement is not a significant consideration in the esthetics of the case. When cement shade can affect final esthetics, such as for veneers, Mojo® luting cement should be used.
