Description

Ufi Gel hard C is a chairside, hard denture reline material in an auto-mixed cartridge delivery system. It is a hydroxyethylmethacrylate-based material indicated for relining or border extension of full or partial dentures. Setting time is 7:00 intraorally. In cases of dentures with undercuts, the lined denture is removed at 3:30 for trimming of excess while still soft. Final hardening may be completed intraorally or by immersing the relined base in warm water. Ufi Gel hard C may be finished and polished with carbide burs and silicone polishers. The introductory set includes an 80-g cartridge of material, dispensing gun, 10 narrow mixing tips, and adhesive. Ufi Gel hard C was evaluated by 22 consultants in 90 clinical applications. This product received a 93% clinical rating.
