Both TheraCem and BisCem are self-adhesive cements. However, TheraCem includes the following features as compared to BisCem:
- Fluoride and calcium release
- Higher bonds strengths; especially to Zirconia
- 18-month shelf life at room temperature (BisCem requires refrigeration)
- Higher radiopacity and can be easily identified on a radiograph
- Easy clean-up and removal of excess cement
- Alkaline pH after bonding
