Consultants' Comments

• “The application and dispensing were easy.”
• “I like that I only need one coat.”
• “The single-dose is easy to use, but the holder requires disinfection after each patient.”
• “I do not like having to keep the material in the refrigerator and waiting for it to come up to room temperature.”
• “Amount of material in the single-dose package seems wasteful.”

Product Features

go! single-dose packaging was a favorite feature among consultants. It is easy to use and has an ample volume of material for treating multiple teeth at the same time. go! has an ideal viscosity for even coating of the surface of the preparation. The single application, without the need to scrub the liquid into the tooth surface, was noted by consultants as a key feature and time saver. The packaging is convenient, keeping the product all in one box in the refrigerator. The refrigeration and bringing go! up to room temperature was the least liked feature. Overall, 65% of consultants found go! to be equal to or better than their current bonding agent, while 80% would recommend it to a colleague and 65% would switch.
