Recap-It Cap and Crown Repair Dental Kit - Fast Acting Formula Dental Cement for Loose Caps (Pack of 3) - Temporary Cement for Crown and Bridge

Always keep this with me at all times! This is the one my dentist recommends as it is eugenol free. Only had to use it once for A bridge but it worked perfectly!

I had a root canal cap come off while eating something very sticky and after the initial surprise, called the dentist and scheduled getting in to get the cap glued back in. I didn't want to go a week without the cap so I looked on here and found this product and gave it a shot. It was easy enough, unscrew the cap turn it around to puncture the foil seal and squeeze some product onto the cap. Dry the tooth area and press the cap back in place. the adhesive dried quickly enough into a sandy texture almost like drywall mud. I thought all was well until while eating pasta the cap popped back off and I bit into it hard which was no fun. I thought maybe I hadn't applied enough adhesive. Second go I made sure both the cap and tooth were well dried and clean. I was more generous with the application and went to bed shortly after application figuring overnight it would surely cure and be good to go. The next day the first food I ate the cap dislodged again but rather than biting down I swallowed it before I realized it had come off again. So now im in for a whole new crown and this product failed in the meter job it had. As an experiment next I followed its directions to apply on random items and this stuff has ZERO hold and terrible functionality. Everything it adhered fell apart upon ANY tension, and if wet at all it would dissolve back into grainy gloop and fall apart.

Great product

I've gone through several tubes of this, mostly because the tubes contain virtually no adhesive. It says 10 applications. Plan on one, and even that will be hard to get out of the tube. The last two times I ended up digging out the adhesive with a pin and it took two tubes to get enough for one partially broken crown. I tried a toothpick, but that didn't work. The only reason I gave it more than one star is that it did work well and held my broken crown in place for almost a week. Both my dentist and I have been out of town and now he's booked so I've had to use it multiple times, requiring multiple purchases. Every single tube was virtually empty.

This product was a total waste of money. I needed a quick fix for a temporary bridge that had come loose while I was waiting for the procedure to get the permanent bridge installed. I only needed something to hold the temporary in place for another few days. This “adhesive” wouldn’t even keep the bridge stable for two hours before it broke off again. First off, as others have noted, the tube is nearly empty from the get-go. The package says it’s enough for up to 10 repairs, but there was barely enough in it to get one bridge mounted. There’s no easy applicator. Expect the glue to get everywhere except inside the bridge or crown where you need it to stick. The glue itself is horribly weak. Even though I waited 90 minutes for the adhesive to set before I tried eating or even drinking anything, the bridge broke back off within two bites of fairly soft food. For about half the price, I got an similarly-named alternative brand (starts with the same letters, ends with a -K) from a store in town. That package contained an applicator tool, had more than enough product to stick the bridge in place 10 times over, and seems to be holding a lot stronger.

My tempary cap came off one of my teeth. This is the only tempary glue that works! I gave 4 stars because purchase was a day late.

Poor glue

The cap needed to be on for a few weeks but it also needed to be something the dentist could easily remove. The first time I applied a small amount (about half a drop) to the inside top of the cap and it held fine until I used a toothpick between the two teeth... It just popped off. The second time I coated the inside top of the cap with a thin layer of the cement and it has held fine for a several weeks now. I have been able to eat and brush normally. I only needed one of the three tubes of cement. The Recap-It Cap & Crown Repair is a winner.
