DentempMaximum Strength Loose Cap and Lost Filling Repair - Dental Repair Kit for Instant Pain Relief (Pack of 3)

La verdad me ayudó con un problema en mi dentadura, es súper fácil de pegar.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It works great and easy to use.

Something wrong with the mix this time. It works when it was more like putty, as it was the first second and third time buying. Need it to keep a cavity filled so it doesn't become larger. Until I am able to get to a dentist to have the tooth crowned. For several conditions concerning my health I am unable to schedule a Dental appointment until the out side temps are below 60 degrees, in winter. My autonomic nervous system has been rendered unable to regulate body temperature, due to a rare genetic surprise metabolic disease called adult onset mitochondrial disease at age 45. progressive and no treatment or cure.So its very difficult for me to leave my air-conditioned home for past 5 years. But this product no longer is correctly formulated. Its used to be like a putty, and that worked very well for applying. Now, the 3 kits that I had just bought, the filler is very runny sticky and its impossible to use it. It sticks to my fingers instead of being pushed into the cavity. The formula is now missing a catalyst or whatever made it pliable and controllable when you roll it to prepare for use. I want my money back.

After following the instructions to the letter several times, I still found my loose crown came loose again within just a few hours. I never used that tooth to chew anything so the adhesive loosened on its own. I repeated using it 3 different times thinking perhaps I'd done something wrong but got the same failure all those times as well. I'm disappointed in a product supposed to have maximum strength. I even waited 3 full hours before even drinking anything to allow it to set as the instructions explained but still no go. A waste of money.

I bought this to replace a filling that fell out after my last cleaning. The tooth is scheduled to be crowned later this month so I needed something to get me thru the two week gap until then. The thing is the filling I am replacing is/was huge. I mean the size of a pencil eraser...even a little bigger. Initially there was half a pocket for the material to cling too a little but the side that was left broke off so now there is just the roots of the tooth, which is a molar, with a little bit of tooth edge but not much. So this is really not a typical lost filling scenario.That said, it took a little trial and error to come up with the best way to handle my situation. In the end what works best is to use a small ball and pressed it into the top of what is left of the tooth. Pressing it down a few times to get out any pockets too seems to help - the more contact it has with the tooth the better. I found out pretty quick it takes some time to dry before you can really chew on it. I recommend you apply it before bed so it has the entire night to harden. It definitely works a lot better if it has longer to cure. It still only last about a day or so before it crumbles and needs to be replaced.Too be fair though, my situation is a bit extreme. If you are just replacing a normal size filling it should stay in place a lot longer than is has for me. In the end it gets the job done and is holding me over until I can see my dentist. Thankfully it is not expensive and you get a lot for the money...which comes in handy in a situation like mine.

This is a good temporary fix for a broken, chipped or damaged tooth but the taste is really bitter so younger ones may not be willing to tolerate the taste. It does help as a short time tooth tepair

I'm updating a previous review, which you'll find below -- unfortunately knocking this specific product down from 5 to 2 stars ... what you need to understand is there are (at least) two versions of this product. One, in which you mix the cement yourself, which I describe below -- and the other where the cement is pre-mixed in a tiny container. The latter is what I bought most recently, to replenish my Dentemp supply -- however the former is what I originally reviewed -- when I didn't realize there were two different formulations.So I had cemented a crown back in place with the manually mixed cement and it did better than I expected, lasting 9 days with pretty much regular eating/chewing habits. When it came loose yesterday, I broke out the new package of Dentemp and tried the pre-mixed cement. Well, it was a total fail. The "cement" has the consistency of chewing gum just removed from your mouth and is very difficult to work with. I tried several times to re-cement the crown but each time the cement left the tooth sitting too high, preventing a normal bite.Fortunately I had one more pack of the old stuff, so this time I did NOT use the entire envelope of powder as instructed, but just a small amount. Then I added a few drops of the liquid and mixed to a slurry type consistency as before. This did the trick, and I hope to get another week or so out of this, as my dentist is closed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.ORIGINAL REVIEW HERE:What I'm actually reviewing here is a package of Dentemp I had in my first aid kit at home for, I dunno, maybe 10 years. Have always been curious if the stuff ever worked. Well, along comes COVID-19 and in the midst of the pandemic, and on a Saturday night, one of my crowns pops off while flossing ... so I'm like:It's GO TIME, Dentemp, let's see whatcha got!!!I honestly had no idea what would even be inside the package. Well, there's an envelope of powder labeled zinc oxide, a tiny tube of brown liquid called somethingorother, a little plastic tub and a little wooden stick. You put the powder in the tub, followed by the liquid, then mix them with the stick until formed into a light brown paste. Apply the paste to the underside of the crown and stick the thing back in place. Easy peasy. Says it takes about an hour to fully set.My only complaint at this stage was that the ratio of powder to liquid was off -- too much powder -- but no big deal. Once the paste started to form I just dumped out the excess powder. It makes PLENTY of cement, enough to fix half a dozen crowns probably. That being said, I was delighted to see that Dentemp has changed its formulation to a pre-mixed cement -- as long as it holds as well as the old stuff ...Did not venture to brush that night, just swished my mouth with some Closys mouthwash ...Next morning I ate French toast for breakfast, and tried to eat softer foods the rest of the day. No problem.It's now the following Tuesday and I've had no problems whatsoever. Able to eat whatever I want, just taking a little extra care to avoid chewing anything crunchy or tough on that side. Good thing too, because looks like my dentist's office may be closed for the next few weeks at least. I did talk to him on the phone incidentally, and he said he was familiar with the product and saw no problem leaving it in for an extended period of time, if needed.Anyway, so I ordered a few more packs of Dentemp just in case I need them, either sooner or later.Probably one of the best $5 or whatever I ever spent, those years ago.
