Description

Retrieve DC is a dual-cure implant cement for crown retention, designed to offer long-term, semi-permanent adhesion to implant-supported prostheses. It delivers a strong bond to zirconia, metal, and ceramic without requiring a bonding agent, making it fast, reliable, and simple to use chairside.

The material light-cures in 20 seconds and self-cures in 5 minutes. Moreover, it features a 2–3 minute gel phase for easy clean-up. This makes placement more forgiving while reducing the risk of excess cement being left behind.

Why Choose Retrieve DC Implant Cement for Crown Retention

One of its standout features is the 300% aluminum radiopacity, which ensures any excess cement can be detected radiographically. As a result, it directly supports efforts to reduce peri-implantitis by improving post-op visibility. Whether you’re cementing a zirconia crown or metal-based restoration, this implant cement for crown retention provides strength and retrievability without compromise.

It also performs exceptionally well in areas where light-curing access is limited. The dual-cure formulation ensures full polymerization, even in deep or shadowed margins. The cement cures to a dense, stable mass with excellent marginal seal.

Core Features at a Glance:

  • Dual-cure: 20 sec light-cure, 5 min self-cure

  • Gel stage for clean-up: 2–3 min

  • Radiopacity: 300% aluminum

  • Strong adhesion to zirconia, metal, and ceramic

  • No bonding agent needed

  • Semi-permanent strength with retrievability

  • Automix syringe; no dispensing gun required

For retrievable restorations, lubricate 50–75% of the abutment surface (avoid margins) before seating. This supports future removal while maintaining seal integrity.

FAQ

Retrieve DC is a long-term, dual-cure, provisional resin cement for implant retained crowns and bridges.

No

Retrieve DC was specifically formulated to address the unique requirements of cementing prosthodontic restorations to implant abutments. Stronger than temporary cements, yet less retentive than permanent cements, Retrieve DC has the ability to provide long-term cementation of implant restorations, while allowing for the the removal of these restorations when placed on a properly lubricated abutment.

As a rule, you should consider lubricating all preps that you deem candidates for future crown removal.

Water-based lubricants or glycerin are recommended.

It depends on the height and taper of the abutment. As the resistance and retention form of the implant abutment increases the greater the need for increasing the percentage of the abutment surface that must be lubricated. Prior to cementation coat at least 50% of the coronal portion of the implant abutment head with lubricant. In some cases, up to 75% of the abutment surface may
require lubrication for the restoration to be removed successfully. When lubricating an abutment, begin at the occlusal/incisal surface and apply the chosen lubricant down the walls of the abutment to the appropriate level. To create a tight marginal seal, do not lubricate the margins. This should give good retention, while allowing removal of the prosthesis later.

It depends. If the abutment has long parallel walls, a crown cemented without previously lubricating the preparation will probably be very difficult, if not impossible to remove without damage to the crown, the implant abutment, or both. Crowns cemented on shorter abutments may be removable with some effort.

Yes, Retrieve DC is highly radiopaque, (300% of Aluminum). Because of its high radiopacity Retrieve DC helps to reduce the possibility of implant failure due to peri-implantitis. A post implant x-ray can help identify excess flash for easier removal.

Retrieve DC was developed specifically for use with implants. For short-term cementation on natural teeth, we recommend Parkell’s ETC (Easy Temporary Cement).

Retrieve DC is hand dispensed from an automix, dual-barrel syringe through single use, disposable mixing tips. No gun is required.
