mastermediZinc Oxide Eugenol Cement Dental Care Kit Glue For Crowns & Bridges Filling

Being fair I was definitely skeptical of this "tooth repair" kit..So far with expectations that it's a temporary fix it's actually pretty good and easy to use and seems fairly solid after day one...It is a challenge getting the resin to set exactly where you want and keeping it dry for 5min can be a channeling task but once it dries it does feel solid and should last a week or 2 easilyWho it's for*Temporary cosmetics fix for a event* filling in a gap in theeth*Prior filling fell out (temp replacement)Who it's not for*Someone looking for a permanent fix of a tooth*Don't have patience to test and work on best results*Can't follow instructionsFinal thoughts for me at least I see this as more of a "make-up kit" for your teeth and just like make-up a woman wears it's only temporary and should be taken as that because you will replace and fix prior work fairly often but it does the job for those of us that can't afford a $3k+ tooth extraction and repairFor me so far day 1 results are good and I will update in the near futureUpdate: first week!! Awesome results it takes time to properly mix and set but once set properly the results even in front teeth where a large amount of pressure and use its really solid and works wellUpdate week 3:This stuff is awesome I have had a front tooth repair and a moler that was broke to the gum line that I repaired 2 weeks ago and they are still in place and I have actually was able to completely chew ice on the right side of my mouth for the first time in 15 years and the repair is still perfectly in place.This stuff works and is definitely worth a try and can be a true game changer for some and at least a good standby option for anyone who may need a good temporary (few weeks maybe more)A few tips that helped me get better longer lasting results1.do repairs about 15min before you go to bed (most important step)2. Brush your teeth about 30min before you apply the repair3. Follow mixing steps but be prepared to make adjustments for consistency and amount needed4. Have a few napkins that you can dry the area in your mouth a few seconds before applying the paste5. After mixing and giving a few seconds for the mixture to become just hard enough to be like playdough or bubble gum the best way to apply is with your fingers6. After you apply to the tooth have a 5min timer set on your phone and start it and just stand there and make sure the area stays dry (it's hard the first few attempts)7. about 15min after application the repair will be solid enough for you to get ready for bed I recommend a few napkins by your bed to gently keep the tooth repair dry as you go to sleep8. Wake up the next morning and you should be good to go the mixture will definitely be solid and after a few attempts you will get it exactly how you want itThis stuff works and gets rock hard if you use it correctly!!! apply it successfully!!! And keep it dry enough to cure properly..

I bought this to fix a small chipped off front tooth. I had a small chip in a front tooth a decade or so ago. I was told it probably came from me grinding my teeth at night. I had it repaired by a dentist with dental composite bonding. Which, I was told by the dentist, would not last forever. I’ve had to have it redone once or twice since the original. So, the piece that chipped off is the bonding material that the dentist used to repair the tooth. I decided to look online to see if there was something I could find to temporarily hold the chipped off bonding until I could get repaired, which usually isn’t super expensive, but isn’t exactly cheap either. I tried another popular brand of dental cement, that didn’t even hold a few minutes. Then I found this. I had to do this several times in order to get the consistency right. But once I did, it held for an entire week before having to do it again. Just make certain to follow the directions closely. With that said, I have found that doing this at the end of the day when you are finished eating is best. Additionally, make sure your tooth is completely dry before applying the cement.Now, you need to be aware that this will not last permanently. It’s only going to hold your tooth temporarily, until you can get to the dentist. It’s not a permanent solution!! I’m surprised that it has held a front tooth as well as it has. Additionally, the piece that is chipped is super small, but looks like I have a bad tooth when the piece is not there. Also, I am lucky I didn’t lose the piece I had to cement back in place.So, I would definitely recommend this product to temporarily fix a tooth until you can get it professionally repaired. If it’s on a front tooth, just be extra careful not to bite down on crunchy food.I’m very impressed with this kit!!

I love this product but there are two minor downsides that I will write at the very end. I've been going through major dental work for 9 months now, getting implants, veneers, the whole nine yards on all of my upper and lower teeth. In that process you have to wear temps until your final veneers / implants are ready. Sometimes you have to do a second round of temps.Well, I had tons of problems with the front temps breaking off at different times. I wasn't biting down on food, it was all about the chewing, no matter how careful I was. If the dentist puts them in too firmly, they take literally hours to drill out, so they warn you not to bite off food with them; just chew with your back teeth. Despite being very careful, I had many break off and Dentemp DID NOT do the job! It shouldn't even be sold, in my opinion. It's one thing to have a temp break off at home, but I'd be at work or out to dinner and it would pop out. It was extremely aggravating and stressful. They never, ever lasted with that stuff. I don't know why mastermedi didn't come up on my first search for "strong dental cement" back in September but it came up last week and what a world of difference!! Don't even waste your time with anything else unless you only need it to last a short time and you don't expect to eat during that time. I didn't have that luxury. My dentist is in my home state of NJ but I work in NY so getting to her was not an immediate option. And nevermind when it happened on a Saturday and they were already closed until Monday!I used mastermedi on two caps, one on each side of my mouth so chewing affected both of them. They didn't budge! It costs way more than Dentemp but you also get a lot of product. Which actually brings me to my first negative comment...1) mastermedi, why so much product? You can cut the amount in half, sell it for half the price, and people would still have product left over. I'm sure the price is off-putting for some people. I HIGHLY doubt there are that many people going through the nightmare I went through and would need it as much as I did. And even then, I probably only needed half the amount, despite all of the broken temps I was dealing with before I could make it to the dentist's office for a professional re-glue. Because the product is so good, you only need one application! I might not even go to my dentist for a professional re-glue. I think these will actually last until my scheduled appointment at the end of the week.2) In my opinion, the instructions should have the user discard the first drop of the liquid. For me, it came out gloppy and wasn't a very large drop. Never using it before, I didn't know it wasn't right but my first attempt on the two broken temps didn't take and it occurred to me that the liquid might not have been a correct measurement. Sure enough, the second try was a much bigger and more liquid-y drop and my temps haven't budged through dinner and breakfast. (People reading this, please note that you still should not take a bite of food using the temps. Even the professionally glued temps can't withstand that. It's usually basic chewing that breaks them so biting into something certainly won't hold up.)
