Centrix® NoMIX® Temporary Cement

Easier for you...and your patients.

NoMIX is the only pre-mixed, single component, temporary cement available. It eliminates the mixing, spatulation and messy cleanup of traditional temporary cements. Yet NoMIX provides superior retention. Pre-loaded in syringes enables fast, exact placement onto restorations. And our new NoMIX take-home applicators are perfect for patient use – at home or on-the-go; they help eliminate those late night emergency calls.

  • Easy to use, dispense, clean and remove from prep
  • Syringe delivery for chairside application
  • Take-home applicators for patient use emergencies
  • Expands slightly upon setting for a tight margin seal
  • Low film thickness
  • Eugenol-free so it won’t interfere with resin placements

Active Ingredients

  • Potassium Sulfate - desensitising effect on the tooth
  • Zinc Oxide - anti-bacterial ingredient, prevents the “black fungus” and corresponding bad breath
  • Calcium Sulfate - expands slightly for minimal leakage

 

FAQs


How does NoMIX® work?
NoMIX® has a unique dual setting reaction. First, the resin part sets rapidly on contact with water. Then second, the calcium sulphate sets after a few minutes to give the final hardness.

How long does it take to set?
Once exposed to water, the material begins to set. Wait 5 minutes to remove excess. The material will be fully set in 15 minutes to an hour.

How do you clean off NoMIX®?
NoMIX can be removed easily. In the office: rub off the cotton roll; remove with scaler. By the patient: brush with toothbrush.

Does NoMIX® have eugenol in it?
No, there is no eugenol in NoMIX to inhibit resins from setting.

Can I replace Duralon with NoMIX®?
No. Duralon is a permanent cement made by 3M. Some doctors add a lubricant to Duralon to lower its mechanical adhesion and make it "less permanent." NoMIX would not be an appropriate substitute for Duralon. BUT NoMIX Take Home Units are a great solution for a patient should his permanent crown fall out.

What to do about sensitivity in a vital tooth?
If a patient is experiencing sensitivity to vital tooth when NoMIX applied, make sure the prep is wet. The material is drawing moisture from the dentin tubules and that is causing the patient sensitivity. Some patients are extra-sensitive, so an application of a dentin desensitizer like Glu/Sense or D/Sense Crystal would be in order to occlude the tubules PRIOR to cementation.

NoMIX take-home applicators eliminate those late-night “emergency” calls or unscheduled office visits that disrupt the day. If a temp dislodges, patients can use professional-strength NoMIX and reseat the unit.
