Unique Attributes

  • New tip designed to reduce bubbles and stop material “run-on” during and after dispensing
  • Bendable cannula up to 90° without kinking
  • Blue syringe barrel indicates remaining material volume
  • Triangle finger plate makes it easy to hold and inject

Indications

  • Class III and V restorations
  • Restoration of minimally invasive cavity preparations (including small,non-stress-bearing occlusal restorations)
  • Repair of small defects in indirect esthetic restorations
  • Pit and fissure sealants
  • Undercut block out
  • Repair of resin and acrylic temporary materials

Clinical Tips

  • It is excellent to place at the base of a proximal box to create a bubble-free seal.
  • Good for minimally invasive Class 1 and V restorations.
  • Flows well over all irregularities – tiny cavities tend to fill or wet better.
  • It can be used to block out Class V lesions where the dentin is very dark.
