Consultants’ Comments
- “Great viscosity and the sealant material flows well.”
- “Dispensing is fabulous and it’s easy to apply.”
- “Very easy to work with.”
- “I just love its flowability and the absence of air bubbles.”
- “I liked that no primer or bonding agent was needed.”
- “Nice small dispensing tips.”
- “I found it too opaque.”
- “It was almost too thin – I’d prefer a little thicker.”
- “I would like to see a tint added that makes it easier to see during application, and then turns opaque after it is light-cured.”
Clinical Tips
- Use only a small amount, it flows well and goes on evenly and precisely.
- Use a microbrush to help spread the material and remove any air bubbles prior to curing.
- Make sure to remove any excess before curing.
