What were the Initial Insights of the Dental Advisor team and our editorial board?
– You can use this material for just about anything pulpal!
– Mixes quickly and easily.
– Some of newer offices did not have a glass slab and had to order one.
– The droplets in the gel were a little bubbly, making for some inconsistency in mixes. Will offices find the same thing?
– Having to hand mix in an age of automix seems inconvenient, but it allows for the extreme versatility of this material… what will the evaluators think? We can’t wait to find out!
What do our Clinical Evaluators and their patients think about this product once it’s used in their offices? Look for our clinical evaluation in an upcoming issue!
