Unique Features
- Light-cured, 20-second cure time
- Sets firm yet flexible
- Non-sticky placement
- Low-viscosity flowable option, ideal for deep inlays

- Low shrinkage, after curing, of 0.07%
Clinical Tips
- Try Temp.ro Flow for repairing provisional margins.
- I had a patient come in at the end of the day that lost a crown on #19. I used the Temp.ro as a provisional crown and it worked great in a pinch until he was able to come back for the impression.
- The blue color is great for contrast with implant screws.
- Removal can be difficult if there are any undercuts.
- Build up as you do a composite and cure.
- The flow material is great for implant access holes.

Description
Temp.ro is a light-cured temporary restorative material with high elasticity. The high elasticity of this material allows for one-piece removal. It is available in two types, a high-viscosity (Temp.ro) and a low-viscosity (Temp.ro Flow). Temp.ro is available in 3 g syringes and Temp.ro Flow is available in 1.2 mL syringes. Both viscosities are available in yellow or blue shades.
