Pulpdent has introduced Tuff-Temp provisional veneer, crown, and bridge resin, a new rubberized-urethane provisional material that is "the first innovation in temporary materials in almost two decades," according to the company.
Tuff-Temp's proprietary chemistry provides greater strength and dimensional stability, as well as a tighter-fitting provisional restoration compared to acrylics and bis-acrylics, the company said.
With Tuff-Temp, temporaries are tough and impact-resistant, and grip the teeth. Chipping, breaking, debonding, and recementations are minimized or eliminated, according to Pulpdent.
In addition, Tuff-Temp is dual-cure and designed to grind and powder, producing crisp and accurate margins that do not soften or distort.
For alterations or smile design, the Tuff-Temp system includes Tuff-Temp provisional add-on, a shade-matching, light-cure, flowable resin formulated from Pulpdent's proprietary rubberized-urethane chemistry. It is available in six shades: A1, A2, A3, A3.5, B1, and Bleach.
Tuff-Temp is packaged in a 50-mL automix cartridge that fits into a standard one-to-one gun used for impression materials.
