Description

Integrity TempGrip is a zinc oxide, non-eugenol, temporary crown and bridge cement. It is designed for temporary cementation of provisional acrylic and composite indirect restorations, and provisional or trial cementation of ceramic, porcelain, composite, and PFM and all-metal crowns and bridges. Integrity TempGrip is available in a 9-g, dual-barreled syringe. Two syringes are packaged with 20 mixing tips. For application, purge the syringe of a small amount of material and place the mixing tip. Dispense the cement directly into the provisional restoration, place and remove excess. The cement has a one-minute working time and a setting time of two to three minutes. Integrity TempGrip was evaluated in over 530 cementation procedures. This product received a 95% clinical rating.

Product Features

Integrity TempGrip provides an easy solution to mixing and dispensing of temporary cement. Dispensing of Integrity TempGrip was highly praised by consultants, due to the auto-mix tips eliminating the need for hand mixing. This system provides easy and reliable dispensing and application, a feature appreciated by consultants. The cement has a fast setting time and easy clean-up of excess at the margins. The working and setting times are ideal. The tooth is easily cleaned after removal of the provisional restoration, as the cement often remains on the provisional restoration and not on the prepared tooth. Eighty percent of the consultants rated Integrity TempGrip as equal to or better than their current temporary cement, 59% would switch to it, and 71% would recommend it to a colleague.
