Evaluators’ Comments

“This material was wonderful to work with for long-span/splinted temporary restorations.”
“Nice creamy consistency. Set time and clean-up are easier to manage than my current material. Beautiful polishability!”
“It is stronger and more durable than other temporary materials we have used. It also polishes well and maintains the shine.”
“Compared with many brands I used before, sometimes the material does not set and I have to redo it, but with this material I never had to redo any temporary crowns or bridges.”
“Shades are a bit brighter than advertised, so an A1 looks like a bleach shade.”
“I did experience a bit of excess shrinkage, so the temporaries felt ‘tight’ to the patient.”

Description

EsTemp C&B is a self-curing, resin-based (Bis-GMA/UDMA) temporary crown and bridge material for the fabrication of interim restorations prior to final cementation. It is supplied in a 50 mL 1:1 cartridge for use with a standard 1:1 dispensing gun and automix tips. A dual-step initiation system is designed to reduce the early heat peak while maintaining working time and a reliable final set. The radiopaque material polishes to a glossy finish and is available in seven shades: TW (Trans White), A1, A2, A3, B1, C2, and Opaque AO3.

Clinical Tips from Evaluators

For esthetic cases, verify the shade with a quick mock-up before fabricating the final provisionals.
Express a small amount of material onto a pad alongside the matrix to monitor the set.
Remove the provisional during the elastic phase and allow it to finish hardening outside the mouth.
If the tooth warms during polymerization, cool it with air and water spray.
Practice dispensing and timing the set before the first clinical case to become familiar with the working time.
