Clinical Overview
SPEE‑DEE™ Build‑Up is a dual-cure, fluoride-releasing core and restorative resin engineered to mimic dentin density and handling. Featuring Pulpdent’s moisture-tolerant, self-adhesive and self-etching Embrace® resin chemistry, it offers seamless integration with or without bonding agents and radiopacity for predictable outcomes.
Key Benefits
- Dentin-like consistency: High compressive (~304 MPa) and flexural (~97 MPa) strength for durable core buildup.
- Effortless handling: Automix cartridge with angled tips ensures precise placement and eliminates mixing errors.
- Moisture-tolerant adhesion: Self-etch and self-adhesive features simplify workflows—even without a bonding agent in retention cases.
- Fluoride release + radiopacity: Supports secondary caries protection and clear radiographic evaluation.
- No bis‑phenol components: Free of BPA, Bis‑GMA, and related derivatives.
- Clean cutting: Rotary instruments transition smoothly without ditching, gouging, or chatter.
Kit Contents
- 1 × 50 mL dual-cartridge automix syringe (SBU50)
- 30 × angled automix mixing tips
Working & Setting Times
- Self-cure time: ~3 min 10 s intraorally at 37 °C
- Light-cure: 20 s with ≥ 300 mW/cm² halogen or LED light; 4 mm depth of cure
Indications
- Post cementation and core build-up after root canal treatment
- Direct bonded core without a post for vital teeth
- Base or liner under large restorations
- Repair of broken cusps, fractured crowns/bridges, and lost fillings
- Temporary patching of defects and crown margin restoration
Instructions for Use
- Prepare tooth: remove decay, prepare cavity or post space; optionally etch and apply bonding agent for maximum bond strength.
- Seat a post if required, apply bonding agent, and light cure.
- Remove syringe cap, bleed cartridge, attach mixing tip, and dispense 2–3 mm to waste.
- Place material into preparation or around post; light cure 20 s, then allow self-cure (~3 min).
- Contour and trim core—rotary instruments cut neatly like dentin, without chatter.
- Finish restoration prep and proceed with impression or final restoration.
Summary
SPEE‑DEE™ Build‑Up offers efficient, reliable core build-up and tooth repair in a single step. With dentin-like strength, moisture-tolerant adhesion, and clean rotary handling, it enhances clinical efficiency while supporting long-term restorative success.
