Bioactive Luting Cement for Pediatric Restorations

NuSmile BioCem® Universal BioActive Cement is a radiopaque, dual-cure luting cement specifically designed for pediatric dentistry. BioCem enables hydroxyapatite formation and integration into dentin within 24 hours. Provides a superior bond between dentin and zirconia crowns or ReVIVE resin-ceramic reinforced composite crowns, regardless of the crown manufacturer. BioCem couples advanced bioactivity with low water sorption/water solubility to prevent washout and bacterial infiltration.

Why Clinicians Choose BioCem

Clinicians choose BioCem® for its superior retention, high phosphate content, and ability to contribute to hydroxyapatite formation for a stronger seal. Its bioactive ion release helps maintain a natural pH, while its high viscosity and low film thickness support easy handling and accurate crown seating. With scientifically proven minimal microleakage and versatile dual-cure technology, including flash-cure capabilities, BioCem provides a durable and reliable seal for pediatric restorations.

Hydroxyapatite Formation

BioCem promotes hydroxyapatite formation at the tooth-cement interface within 24 hours, supporting integration with dentin and long-term retention.

Bioactive Ion Release

Releases calcium, phosphate, and fluoride ions while maintaining a chemistry designed to work in harmony with the oral environment.

Optimized Handling and Versatility

BioCem® combines high viscosity with low film thickness for controlled application and accurate crown seating, making it a versatile option for zirconia, ReVIVE, and other crown types.

Low Water Sorption & Solubility

Scientifically proven to minimize microleakage, resist washout, and help reduce bacterial infiltration through a strong, resilient bond.

Engineered for Clinical Performance

BioCem’s formulation is designed to support predictable cementation through a combination of advanced chemistry, handling characteristics, and material stability in the oral environment. It is especially well suited for restorations where light-cure activation supports optimal performance, including zirconia and ReVIVE crowns.

High Phosphate Content BioCem’s high phosphate formula locks onto the crown. BioCem’s calcium and alumina ions react and chemically bond to the tooth. The resin components provide shock absorbing and stress relieving performance you can depend on.
Strong Resilient Bond Due to low water sorption and low water solubility with high dimensional stability and minimal shrinkage. BioCem does not washout with any brand of preformed esthetic crown.
Natural pH Maintained by release of beneficial ions. BioCem’s structural composition, paired with a higher level of sustained calcium and fluoride release (compared to other cements), makes BioCem compatible with the oral environment.
Exceptional Handling Perfect for filling and positioning preformed esthetic crowns.
BioCem’s low film thickness allows the crown to fully seat. BioCem’s high viscosity is perfect straight out of the syringe to hold preformed crowns in the right position.
Versatile Dual-Cure System Fast light cure and self-set technology. A quick, easy, reliable cure and setting time for every type of preformed esthetic crown.
Minimal Microleakage for a Permanent Seal BioCem’s solubility is less than half that of other cements meaning less opportunity for secondary decay and failure.

Designed for Controlled, Predictable Crown Cementation

BioCem’s dual-cure workflow is designed to support efficient placement while maintaining stability, cleanup control, and strong restorative outcomes across zirconia, pre-veneered, resin-ceramic and stainless steel crowns.

Choosing the Right Cement for Your Procedure

NuSmile offers two advanced cement solutions for pediatric restorative care. Choosing the right one depends on whether your priority is bioactive integration and long-term sealing performance or fast, efficient everyday cementation.

Designed for Bioactive, Light-Assisted Performance

  • Promotes hydroxyapatite formation at the tooth-cement interface
  • Releases calcium, phosphate, and fluoride ions
  • Recommended for zirconia (ZR) and ReVIVE restorations where light-cure activation is effective
  • Low sorption and solubility help resist washout and microleakage
  • Ideal when bioactivity, sealing performance, and light-assisted curing are the priority

Designed for Reliable Everyday Use

  • Dual-cure RMGI workflow with familiar glass ionomer handling
  • Strong immediate bond for predictable cementation across all crown types, including SSCs
  • Fast tack cure for efficient excess cement removal
  • Less technique-sensitive than many traditional cement systems
  • Ideal when speed, versatility, and predictable everyday performance are the priority
