Product Features

Venus Temp 2 is a strong provisional material that trims nicely without chipping. Consultants used Venus Temp 2 successfully for long-span bridges and other multi-unit cases. The esthetics is very good, and due to its nano-particle formula, the material can be polished to a high luster. Working and intraoral setting times rated highly; however, consultants would like to be able to trim the provisional earlier than six minutes. Venus Temp 2 has a very low oxygen-inhibited layer that aids in handling and polishing. Ninety-one percent of consultants rated Venus Temp 2 either equivalent or better than their current provisional material. Seventy-two percent would switch to Venus Temp 2 and 84% would recommend it.

Clinical Tip

Material sets hard - avoid use in undercuts.
