The 3M ESPE RelyX U200 Self-Adhesive Resin Cement is a high-performance dental cement designed for easy and reliable permanent cementation of various restorations, offering excellent bond strength on different substrates like ceramics, composites, and metals. Its unique dual-cure formulation not only ensures a secure bond but also minimizes post-operative sensitivities and handles moisture exceptionally well, contributing to its lasting stability and robust mechanical properties.
Featuring the innovative Clicker™ delivery system, the cement provides effortless mixing and application. This system allows for flexible dosing and simultaneous application of both base and catalyst pastes, reducing material wastage and enhancing efficiency. The cement's chemistry builds upon a proven foundation, utilizing a phosphoric acid methacrylate adhesion monomer and specialized fillers that enable strong adhesion and offer a distinct neutralization behavior.
The cement's mechanical prowess is impressive, boasting high flexural and compressive strength, as well as a notable modulus of elasticity and surface hardness. Notably, its color stability and resistance to discoloration contribute to the restoration's overall esthetic appeal. In comparison to traditional multi-step resin cements, the self-adhesive mechanism of RelyX U200 streamlines the bonding process, offering both simplicity and outstanding performance.
RelyX™ U200 is expertly formulated to cater to a wide range of dental applications. It is ideal for the permanent cementation of various restorations, including all-ceramic, composite, or metal inlays, onlays, crowns, and bridges. It's also suitable for posts, screws, 2- or 3-unit Maryland bridges, 3-unit inlay/onlay bridges, and restorations to implant abutments.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION :
- RelyX™ U200 Cement is strong where it counts and combines the key factors for clinical success:
High colour stability for natural aesthetics.
- Patients will enjoy the high colour stability of RelyX™ U200 cement. Compared to other leading products, it clearly shows the least amount of discolouration after 3 days in a coffee solution.
Proven long-term stability – due to unique material characteristics.
- RelyX™ U200 is acidic and hydrophilic upon application and becomes neutral and hydrophobic after setting. Therefore, it is better able to resist water uptake and remains more stable over time. The results of thermocycling stress tests on self-adhesive resin cements show that RelyX™ U200 cement remains intact, while others show obvious cracking.
Excellent bond strength.
- You can rely on the performance of RelyX™ U200 more than ever: compared to other self-adhesive resin cements, RelyX™ U200 shows the best adhesion – on both dentine and enamel. Patients will benefit from a long-lasting and secure restoration.

Direction To Use:
Preparation: Ensure the tooth surface and the restoration are clean and free of contaminants. Verify that the restoration fits accurately before cementation.
Dispensing:
-
Clicker™ Dispenser: Attach the appropriate mixing tip to the Clicker™ Dispenser. Dispense equal amounts of the base and catalyst pastes onto a mixing pad. Mix the pastes thoroughly using a spatula until a uniform color is achieved.
-
Automix Syringe: Attach the mixing tip to the automix syringe. Gently extrude a small amount of cement until both the base and catalyst pastes emerge simultaneously. Ensure the mixing tip is properly attached.
Application:
- Apply the mixed cement directly onto the interior surface of the restoration. Avoid trapping air bubbles during application.
- Seat the restoration onto the prepared tooth, applying gentle pressure to ensure proper fit.
- Remove any excess cement from the margins and restoration surfaces using suitable instruments.
Light Curing (Optional):
- RelyX™ U200 can be light-cured to accelerate the setting process. Use a curing light according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure proper light coverage to cure the cement thoroughly.
Post-Operative Instructions:
- Advise the patient to avoid biting on hard substances for a specific time period, as recommended by the dentist.
- Provide appropriate oral care instructions to the patient.
