Product overview

Inventory ID: 961-3452AA

NX3 Nexus Third Generation dual-cure resin cement in clear is a universal adhesive resin cement designed for permanent luting of all indirect restorations, including veneers. This BPO-free redox initiator system delivers long-term color stability in both the syringe and after curing, while the automix dual-cure syringe eliminates hand mixing and removes the need for a separate dual-cure activator. This Complete Buyer's Guide enables confident selection and supports consistent indirect restorative workflows.

What makes this product stand out?

NX3 features a redox initiator system that eliminates the color instability common in traditional dual-cure cements. The automix syringe delivers a consistent base-to-catalyst ratio without hand mixing, and the formulation bonds to all substrates without requiring a separate dual-cure activator for the adhesive.

Key advantages include:

  • BPO-free, amine-free initiator system delivers long-term color stability before, during, and after curing
  • The automix syringe eliminates hand mixing and delivers a consistent base-to-catalyst ratio
  • No dual-cure activator required; compatible with both total-etch and self-etch adhesives
  • Universal adhesion to dentin, enamel, ceramics, CAD/CAM blocks, metal, and resin
  • Easy cleanup in gel state supports efficient chairside workflow

What is this product made of?

NX3 is composed of an optimized resin matrix with a proprietary BPO-free, amine-free redox initiator system and nano-reinforced fillers. It eliminates the color shift caused by BPO in the catalyst paste and tertiary amines in the base that occurs in traditional dual-cure resin cements, resulting in stable color both in the syringe and after polymerization.

At-a-glance comparison:

  • Dual-cure vs light-cure only cements: Dual-cure ensures cure in deeper or shaded areas where light may not penetrate fully
  • Automix dual-cure vs manual mix: Automix delivery reduces variability and speeds up placement

For dental teams, the color-stable initiator chemistry and activator-free compatibility with total-etch and self-etch adhesives streamline indirect restorative protocols.

What is it used for?

NX3 dual-cure resin cement is used for permanent luting of indirect restorations and can also serve as a core buildup material when used with a compatible adhesive. The dual-cure formulation ensures polymerization in areas where light access is limited or absent.

Common applications include:

  • Permanent cementation of crowns and bridges
  • Luting veneers with color-stable esthetics
  • Bonding inlays, onlays, and CAD/CAM restorations
  • Cementation of posts with core buildup capability
  • Fixation of ceramic, resin-based, and metal indirect restorations

Why you'll appreciate this product

You'll appreciate how NX3 delivers color-stable, activator-free cementation and simplifies indirect restorative workflows across your team.

For your work:

  • BPO-free, amine-free initiator provides color stability throughout the syringe life and after curing
  • Automix delivery maintains a consistent ratio and reduces placement variability
  • No dual-cure activator required, works directly with total-etch and self-etch adhesives
  • Gel-state cleanup supports efficient excess removal after seating

For your practice:

  • Universal adhesion reduces the need for multiple cement types in inventory
  • Clear shade suits a broad range of indirect esthetic restorations
  • Core buildup capability extends NX3's utility beyond luting
  • 5 g syringe size suits frequent single-unit indirect cases

A color-stable universal resin cement supports stronger bonds, cleaner esthetics, and more consistent indirect restorative results.

Sizing & selection

Selecting the correct resin cement supports adhesion quality, esthetic outcome, and procedural efficiency.

Shade selection:

Clear shade suits restorations where minimal influence on final color is the priority, particularly under translucent ceramics and esthetic veneers. NX3 is also available in white, yellow, bleach, and white opaque shades for cases requiring shade matching under opaque restorations.

Dual-cure vs light-cure:

The dual-cure automix syringe suits single-unit indirect restorations where light access to the cement line is limited. The NX3 light-cure version provides unlimited working time and suits multi-unit cases or procedures requiring extended seating time.

Adhesive compatibility:

NX3 is compatible with both total-etch adhesives, such as OptiBond Solo Plus, and self-etch adhesive bonding agents. No dual-cure activator is required for the adhesive, simplifying the cementation protocol.

Core buildup use:

NX3 dual-cure can be used as a core buildup material after post-cementation when applied with a compatible adhesive, reducing the number of materials needed in the workflow.

NX3 supports predictable adhesion and long-term esthetics when color stability and versatile substrate bonding are the priority.

Explore other options

Many practices keep multiple cement and adhesive options to match indirect restorative needs.

  • NX3 light-cure cement for multi-unit cases requiring unlimited working time
  • NX3 try-in gel for shade and fit evaluation before permanent cementation
  • OptiBond XTR adhesive for a streamlined two-product indirect cementation system
  • Self-adhesive resin cements for simplified protocols on non-esthetic restorations

Matching cement and adhesive systems to restoration type, access, and esthetic requirements supports consistent indirect restorative outcomes.

Care & storage

Store resin cement properly for consistent performance and handling.

  • Store syringes in a cool, dry area away from direct light and heat
  • Keep syringes sealed until immediately before use
  • Dispense chairside and mix only the amount needed for each restoration
  • Do not return unused cement to the syringe after dispensing
  • Dispose of used or expired syringes per office chemical waste protocols
Frequently asked questions
  1. Does NX3 dual-cure still require a curing light?Yes, light curing enhances surface set and speeds initial polymerization, but the dual-cure chemistry ensures complete polymerization in areas where light does not fully penetrate.
  2. Do I need a dual-cure activator with NX3?No, NX3's redox initiator system eliminates the need for a separate dual-cure activator, and it remains compatible with both total-etch and self-etch adhesives.
  3. Can I use the clear shade under all restorations?You should select a clear shade for translucent ceramics and esthetic restorations where minimal color influence is the priority. White, yellow, bleached, and white opaque shades are available for cases requiring shade matching.
  4. Can NX3 be used for core buildup?Yes, you can use NX3 dual-cure as a core buildup material after post-cementation when applied with a compatible adhesive.
  5. How should I store the syringe between uses?You should keep syringes sealed and stored away from direct light and heat per manufacturer recommendations to maintain material integrity and color stability.
