Consultants’ Comments
- “Helps the instrument glide over the composite.”
- “Economical.”
- “A small amount goes a long way.”
- “My primary use would be for anterior esthetic restorations and direct composite veneers.”
- “A little thicker than I would like.”

Product Features
Brush & Sculpt is colorless so it does not affect the shade of the composite being placed, and it improves the marginal adaptation of posterior restorations. The viscosity was thicker than some users preferred and care had to be taken to avoid the use of too much material. Consultants liked that it did not interfere with the chemistry of the composite restorative material being placed. Brush & Sculpt was most often used to “wet” the placement instrument for final smoothing and shaping of the composite surface. It leaves a glossy surface and reduces the need for finishing with rotary instruments.
