Consultants’ Comments
- “Easy to dispense, flows well and easy to apply.”
- “Great viscosity. Stays where placed. It is also perfect for building the material up.”
- “Easy to use as a block-out material. I used it to fill in black triangles between a patient’s teeth before taking an alginate impression.”
- “Best product for covering screw heads in implant abutments.”
- “The fact that it is injectable with an intraoral tip is a definite plus.”
- “I loved this product. The material is easy to apply and remove, including from implant screw heads when needed.”
- “It was still a little challenging to remove – it came out in pieces.”
